re: Can LSU solve the riddle that is Houston Nutt?

The worst LSU loss ever against Nutt was Saban's 02 melt down.

That was as fluky as it gets.

i dislike nutt but he gets a lot out of less talent than anybody. he seems to prepare well and is good at making adjustments during a game. but he's a scumbag.

Nutt has Lesticles. He is also a motivator but beyond that will always be average. He has LSU's number of late, though.

Nutt is a good coach -- not a great one, but a good one. He would be a definite upgrade over Miles. Saban recommended him for the job in '05, and I wish we would have gone in that direction. At least he knows when the clock starts and stops, which automatically makes him better than Miles.

Miles is credited as a strong recruiter, but is he really that strong? Louisiana traditionally produces a tremendous amount of football talent, and LSU has no real in state threat to that talent. The only real threat comes from out of state poachers. So, how hard is it really to recruit at LSU? This is what made the job so attractive to Saban. Lock down the state and you are pretty much guaranteed a Top 15 class. Pick up a couple studs from Texas, Florida and the like and presto .... you've got a Top 5 class every year.

At the end of the day, I think Nutt has owned Miles, because he is simply a better coach. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

so, Nutt is 3-2 vs Miles. One win in OT with 2 incredible running backs and and the other 2 in the worst 2 years of our decade.

Also, Miles ruined Nutt's one chance of a NC in 06 and snapped their 10 game winning streak and it was the Hogs first loss in Little Rock under Nutt (negating all those ugly undefeated in the rock shirts)

that being said, if Ole Miss can beat LSU this year then I will definitely say he is better than Miles.

Fsfk Ole Miss and Houston Nuttttttttttttttttt

How many coaches prior to Miles consistently had top 10 recruiting classes? One. If it's so easy why couldn't all those other guys do it?

I would guess that location and facilities have had a lot to do with Miles success.
Saban, in addition to leaving Miles with the best talent in the history of the university, also built him some great facilities.

I respectfully disagree. Yes, that loss in '02 was a knife in the back because of how it ended, but '07 was much worse. That '02 team was a decent QB away from being really good

Let's see .... there is Les Miles ...... Gary Crowton .......Jordan Jefferson ......... a time clock ........ a time clock ......... a time clock ....

Nah! Miles and crew are Nutt's bitches again!
