The Mad Hatter to Arkansas?????

There are plenty of teams with the talent level of LSU that don't win 10 games every year. Texas and USC leap to mind. The guy can coach and knows how to win.

Not many coaches have a state recruiting monopoly. Don't think talent has anything to do with his winning percentage?

Nebraska has a monopoly, LSU has pick of the litter.

Alumni childrens choice from 3 FBS and 6 FCS in-State football playing schools prevents LSU from having a true monopoly

Not solely benefit, but ask Saban if he would rather have a monopoly on Alabama or Louisiana recruiting? His ventures into this state the past few years would point to him picking Louisiana. Louisiana is a recruiting hotbed...it's not Texas, Florida, or California...but it's one of the top in the country...and LSU has the pick of the litter. They may recruit nationally...but the majority of their team is made up of in state prospects. With this monopoly Miles is able to mask his inability to coach or preform normal tasks as a human being. There is a reason Chavis is paid so much...because without him...LSU is a middle of the road team.

Whatever. Conspiracy Theorists will have their reasons. I won't argue although its purely opinion.
