re: Serious question for LSU fans (about linebackers)

If Chavis wasn't recruiting LBs, Miles should have stepped in and fixed that problem with extreme prejudice.

I don't think any of us will argue with you on this. However, Miles has a history of correcting problems like this a year or two too late.

The concerning thing is, I wonder if he would have done anything about Brick by now if Chavis had stayed. He was coming in 2nd or 3rd for every top player he recruited, and then reached for guys late. All of those guys are now gone due to discipline issues or just not being that great. The multiple interview comments out of MN concerning D. Hunter and how poorly he was coached are also pretty damning.

LB isn't the only position where a guy got complacent and Miles moved too slow. He did the same with Studs. He let our O Line recruiting drop off a cliff. We had no depth there for a while. Thanks to Grimes righting that ship, next year will be the first in a few where everyone should be playing their natural positions, and not having to be shuffled around.
