I like Miles, a lot. He's one of my favorites. But if Spurrier had Miles' talent base combined with LSU's tradition he would have dominated at LSU.

Thankfully, he wanted more of a challenge and chose SC instead. But, while Les has done very well at LSU, Spurrier (IMHO) would have gotten far more out of that job.

Miles is still Top 4 IMHO.

Meyer is too high IMHO.

The flaw here is that you are assuming that he'd have still been able to amass the talent that Miles has. I'm not saying that he isn't a great recruiter, but that's easily one of Miles' biggest strengths (saban's, too), and we don't know how Spurrier would have done. At the time of our coaching change, Steve was still a widely-hated man in Louisiana.

"Far more" than 2 NCGs and 2 SECCs?
