LES MILES
I know he has a ring and Mark Richt does not. However Les Miles was brought into a program that was loaded and has already produced a NFL No 1 pick in Russell and may have another soon in Glenn Dorsey. Key here is that Nick Saban recruited both of these players. Miles will earn every bit of his 3.8 million dollar salary in the next few years. Miles made some questionable ,yet gutsy, calls this year. Everything fell in place this year for LSU with 2 losses to make it back to the NC game. Ask UGA(13-1)2002 and Aub(13-0) in 2004 how much they would have love to lose 2 games and still had made it to the NC game. Off the field issues have already started in Baton Rogue with suspension of Ryan Perrilloux. Did I mention that Perrilloux said he would win 2 Heisman’s? Hard to do that when you are working at Wal Mart during the fall!
This is Miles program now. He turned away Michigan job to stay with LSU. Miles failed to use the momentum of a national championship to reel in a top 10 recruiting class. He will need to put a fence back up around the state as did Saban and keep winning games with that. Miles has done one thing since his arrival at LSU and that is win games. However so did Larry Coker his first 4 years at Miami.

LSU will sign the majority of a very good instate group in 2009, Miles has been able to establish a good relationship with most of the Lousiana high school coaches and even with scholarship numbers similar to what UGA will have available next year, they should have a strong incoming class.
He’s off to a good start already with seven commitments including one five star and one four star out of Texas along with a very good Georgia prospect.
