Y'all overrate yourselves if you think you make that much of a difference. If all real and tangible things are equal between two schools; recruiting, official/unofficial visits, personal interaction with coaches and players, academic opportunities, hot women who will sleep with you to get you to commit, booster $$ handshakes, your high school coaches getting suspended because they were keeping other schools away from recruiting you..........If all that is equal then, only slightly, maybe, a kid will weigh the negativity on message boards and then the school with the greatest sum will win. For every person that thinks Les is an idiot there is another 3 who don't. For everyone who is dumb enough to call for John Chavis to get fired there are 10 (or whatever) who say otherwise. If a kid is going to cite negativity on message boards then he is only trying to justify the choice he already made.
Miles was saying "spike it." Then he denied that. All of the news media made him look like a fool....then in your N/C game, for whatever reason, he REFUSED to put in a qb that had already brought LSU seven straight wins, to play at all.....even when JJ could not throw the ball to the ground. He is a good coach, no doubt. But he "will" place blame elsewhere......jmo
