This is the problem, Kirby and Saban have too much of a head start at this point.
BK can beat either of them him or there, if he catches them at the right time, but he will never "dominate" either.
I think over time that LSU fans will come to see Coach O less as the emotional figurehead of one the truly great college football teams and more as the man who fumbled the bag that led to a serious talent deficit between LSU and their biggest competitors.
Miles was completely arse-backwards on where offensive football was heading but he had a program that consistently brought in top talent that fit the program and the competition in the conference. Coach O seemingly recruited similarly but it was clear at the end he was recruiting 5 star athletes with 1-star fit.
LSU was right there with Alabama and Georgia in the late 2010s. Today they're right there in spots but not the full 85. That's ultimately on Coach O. Kelly took over and had like 45-50 players on scholarship due to busts transferring out.

LSU historically seems to fall in that #4-6 area for "good classes," they will never recruit near the top year in and out.
The reasons why have been the topic of much debate and it seems the theory that makes the most sense is that Louisiana kids are often underranked because they haven't had the resources/coaching that kids from more affluent areas have.
So in theory, a five star kid from Texas may have already hit his ceiling while a three star from Louisiana can perform to five star expectations with some development.
I think you see the same thing in Mississippi and in Alabama to a little lesser degree.
