re: If he were still HC, would Les Miles had gone after Joe Burrow in the off-season

You serious Clark?

Oh, Miles would definitely have landed Burrow. Remember, Burrow basically courted LSU... and it wasn't because of Orgeron (or any other specific coach).

Burrow left Ohio State to get a shot to play somewhere. He and his family had a list of teams to look at.

LSU filled every box in the checklist;
1) winning program, close to/equal to Ohio State's level.
2) no established QB returning; Brennan was famously behind schedule
3) precedent for transfers- Etling most recently, Mett before, and as others said Miles had taken Boldin in too.
4) familiar to Urban Meyer (advice about the program), but not Big 10. This makes a good deal of sense- pretty sure Urban has some respect for LSU as a program, faced us every season. The games were big but never hostile beyond a rivalry. Probably had a lot of respect for Miles and the job he'd done. Out of respect and courtesy for Burrow and his dad, Meyer likely steered him here.

Might have been hesitance since Orgeron took over (unknown quantity), hence the other schools like Cincy on the list. But Orgeron had stuck with Etling, and Miles' players for the most part stuck with O.

Was there another program anywhere near LSU's level that had an opening at QB? Don't think so.

Hell, given LSU's annual ranked status and perpetual void at QB, I wouldn't be surprised if the Georgia QB isn't looking here; or someone else like that. We're a powerhouse in need of a quarterback. That's a nice draw for a quarterback in need of a team. Burrow has 1 year left; someone big can redshirt that year and take over the next.

I hate you.

Worst thread of all time.

This is amazing

Why in the hell would Joe want to go to Kansas for his final year? ??

dumbest thing I've read on the internet today

Wow, didn’t realize we had a bunch of dumbfricks on the rant.

No shite he isn’t going to Kansas.

The question is if Les were still the coach at LSU, would he have tried to find a transfer QB like Burrow for the 2018 season) or would he have refused to acknowledge the the QBs he recruited on the roster were not SEC caliber/ready and still trotted them out (Anthony Jennings, Brandon Harris).

Without Burrow, we lose Auburn and Georgia game and are 8-5. That assumes we win a bowl game, which is a generous assumption.

He got Mett.

Very good point..
