re: Would any LSU fans trade Les for Petrino..

Why are you more impressed with recruiting rankings then field results?

Does he play down to kids like others? No

Can he sign kids to fit his system? thats obvious

Even the best recruiter will have a hard time brining out of state 5* to NWA...just the truth, but it seems to be working out OK.

Because history shows that teams with top recruiting classes win SEC championships.

Name one team without a top 15 class to win a national championship or SEC championship? Just one? There isn't one.

Petrino's best players were ranked 4 stars, all on offense. He loads up on one side of the ball and recruits terribly everywhere else. When Arky played a complete team like LSU or Bama last year, they were completely embarrassed like every other team in the SEC. That is Petrino's ceiling.

Teams are only going to get better while Petrino is still bringing in average at best talent on defense. The Sec has been down as a whole the past 2 years. It is a big reason for USCjr's success too. I would take so many other coaches over Petrino because he can't win a championship.
