Ron Higgins and Jeff Duncan see it very clearly regarding Miles

I hate to say it because I like Miles. But,they are right.

He has not had the talent on the defensive line since 2012 and to a lesser extent on the offensive line since Trai Turner left. I think it may have been a mistake to go and get a zone blocking coach.

You dont hear Anthony Johnson, Ego Ferguson's or Jermauria Rasco's name called in the NFL, and you won't be hearing Godchaux or Lacouture either.

He might pull a Drake Nevis and hang around for 3 years but that's it

It's sad to look at our d line after so many years of dominance. Between all the early entries and the recruiting misses in Gilmore, Herron, Bain and Bower it's like a shell of our former nasty d's.

Pendergast is coaching LBs at SF on the same staff with Henry and McGaughey actually. What could have been!

Great article and totally agree. The only things I'd add are his woeful clock management, trumping the offensive play calling, and in spite of having top 5-10 recruiting classes almost every year, he's always lacking in a particular area/position that winds up biting us in the arse a year or two later.

Quite the sobering read. Spot on, Old Chap.

But we have had the talent on offense. When you can't line up a play at this level it's coaching. Peewee teams can get a play off faster the LSU. I could agree with you more if we were getting beat 38 to 35 but not by two or more touchdowns.

I think Godchaux would be a better DE than DT but due to our lack of depth at DT he put on some weight to play the position. He is at a disadvantage against Arkansas and Alabama going up against their size. Our DL is not big and when teams run above 60 plays we don't have the bodies to hold up.
