No way Les can get the same amount of five-star, NFL-ready recruits in South Bend that he got in Baton Rouge. Half of those guys wouldn't even be academically eligible for NDs strict guidelines. And I wouldn't exactly call Les our nightmare the last 8 years either (see years 2008-09 and 2011-2015)
Your ok with your thinking, but due to history, my rear end puckered every time we lined up against them.

LSU is made up of local boys from Texas and Louisiana, and a few kids from Mississippi. Miles at ND isn't Miles at LSU in recruiting.
ND has the same problem Nebraska and Tennessee do in that they have to recruit nationally because of their respected states are dry with in state talent. Their success is highly dependent on out of state talent. All three of them were great from the 60's to the mid to late 90's because playing pro football wasn't as near as a concern as playing for a legendary coach and being a college all American. Now with the exposure and endorsement deals it is more important to play for a pro factory school than to play for a historic school.
Granted miles has put a great number in the NFL, but most Louisana recruits we lost from him were because of playing time and distance from home. Miles would undoubtably have to raid Ohio for talent, and that isn't going to be easy with Urban and Harbaugh already fighting in that recruiting battleground. Other than that I don't see it as a real good idea for miles and notre Dame
You could put Mike Shula or Tommy Tuberville at LSU and they would they would look like a credible threat to us. Louisana, Florida, and California are talent rich states.
I remember TJ with a minute left and Blake pulling our a-- out of the fire with 50 seconds and no time outs and a fat man trick play in OT, thats more than Kelly's lame 2012 excuse for a team. IMHO

I just saw a couple blurbs on the internet saying Miles may take the Purdue job.
He may coach again, but I don't see that. He is 63 and I don't think he would go somewhere unless just the name of the school draws recruits. Purdue is not one of those places. Plus he'd have to deal with Harbaugh and Meyer.

Any HC who is having success at Ohio State would be an idiot to move to Notre Dame, IMO.
That was because nuss was bound and determined of trying to get AJ the heisman. Had we ran Eddie and tj more than 22 times combined then it is probably a route. Eddie was averaging 7.5 a carry and TJ 6.9 per carry. To be honest the last two times down there have been close because our offensive coordinators were out thinking themselves. Luckily Chavis and Steele defenses always fold when the game is on the line.
This is not to say les is a bad or inept coach, but you are insinuating that Louisana is going to all of the sudden become a nd pipeline just because les miles. I just don't see it because again Louisana recruits usually stay near home.
Fwiw I don't think anyone is saying Kelly> les, atleast not me, but I think most are saying his national recruiting is nowhere near what it takes to succeed at nd. Again you are going to have to invade Ohio for recruits to stand a chance, and that is a serious mountain to climb. I would say a guy like Kiffin would be better suited for the recruiting situation at notre dame.
