re: So if CLM bails, who do WE lose in this class?

The moment it's announced that Miles is leaving, Saban, Trooper, Dooley, Mullen, Petrino are all going to set up shop in La. until NSD. First to steal whatever in state recruits they can get their hands on, and then try to outbid each other to get Wilson on their staffs.

FACT!

if clm leaves then orgeron is the person that wilson "TRUSTS" the most. wilson for sure takes freak, then if we lose mett (wilson and clm recruited him) that would be devastating enough.

the real problem is 2012 and beyond, you have wilson, miles, saban, dooley,orgeron, fisher, muschamp all with good la. connections. we didn't have any successful coaches with la. connections recruiting the state when saban left.

losing CLM is really a "BIG DEAL"

It could be devestating..

Recruits and their families really like Miles

Something a few Rantards just don't get (cough, cough Maximus, cough, cough). And I hear the HS coaches like him light years better than little Nicky (JT Curtis notwithstanding)

Say bye to several OOS recruit/commitments and possibly some in state.

Mettenberger committed to Miles and Crowton for example. When Saban left Miles did a great job of minimizing the losses by retaining several of the staff's key recruiters. The hypothetical replacement of Les would be well-served to follow that example but not everyone would do that. That's the scary part.

Isn't he already an EE?

he moves in to the dorm on Wednesday

Mettenberger would have to be released from his LOI by LSU

Mr. Freak Johnson......come on down

Can I haz your recruits??

Freak said no to Chump already !!!!!

This is my biggest fear.

Somewhere between every recruit and no recruits.



Seriously, how can anyone answer this question?

I have even a more serious question, IF Miles were to leave, who would be named the temporary head coach? Crowton?....gulp!!!

These players aren't coming for Miles, they are coming for LSU.

Not true in many cases. The players that choose Auburn or consider Auburn this year are citing the "family" atmosphere which is being promoted by Trooper Taylor. These kids want to win and want to feel comfortable. The coaches dictate the direction of the program. If uncertainty enters the picture, there will be some drop off.
