They have regressed. We used to always hear about an "Elite" LSU defense that Herbstreit is quoted as saying, "I wouldn't want a family member or loved to go against that LSU defense." Since Saban they have become worse and worse. Now they are just kind of meh.

Exactly. Remember that all the talk about Miles was that he wasn't really an X's and O's guy at all, but more of a CEO-type coach. He relied on top notch coordinators like Crowton and Pelini to handle the details and provides leadership and a head full of nuts. Though LSU has a lot of defensive talent, they're under a first year coordinator in John Chavis.

yes, since sabans players have left, the talent level has gone down. everyone with a brain knew that was going to happen. the quality of the players miles has recruited has not at all regressed. maybe even gotten better since then. pelini left, but was replaced by chavis.
