I wasn't specifically talking about Les playing Lee. I just think Les's decision to stick with Jefferson no matter how bad he was playing was negative. Can you imagine if we were in the NC game in 2014 and Mett is having a bad game. Kiel is sitting on the bench knowing he could come in and help the team and Les doesn't give him a chance. Timing by Kiel to make the decision to go to ND speaks volumes.Could you imagine how much a coach that stands behind and stays committed to his starting QB would have a POSITIVE influence on a QB?

Let me start this by saying I love CLM, but if you don't think blowing that game and that coaching display hurt recruiting your CRAZY. If your a 4 or 5 star player and watched the LSU coaching staff basically throw in the towel by the middle of the second quarter and continue to do the same shite that doesn't work over and over expecting a different outcome (insanity), it would surely make you scratch your head. As a receiver / QB and you see what Miles DIDN'T DO to try and win, your thinking: why would I waste my time or talent possibly forever being under utilized. Its not like we really utilized our receivers and passing ability throughout the year.
That coaching cluster @#$% will go down as a the worst decision since the Ole Miss clock miss management.
It almost seems like we didn't have a back up plan, the first plan worked so well throughout the year against inferior opponents, that we didn't even have a back up plan, much less have a way of utilizing it. Everyone should realize that the reason we won 13 games is on TALENTED (talent disparity) AND DEPTH(3 deep at most positions) alone. It wasn't the game planning or imagination that won 13 games.

No. Who would've committed had we won?

Edwards- no
Kiel -no
Collins-no
The corellation between losing and "missing out" on recruits is illusory. Everything else is pure conjecture. I know the loss sucked but don't turn it into the reason for everything else not working out the way you wanted.
