Les Miles was loaded with talent however he simply didn't know X's and O's.

No wonder he was fired.

Theres a list on another site that shows teams that drafted LSU players over the last 20 or 30 years.

The Saints were 4th on the list.

Great, so they were drafting LSU players when LSU sucked. Now we have all this talent in the NFL and the Saints want no part of it.

When a program is putting out reliable NFL talent, not just draft choices who go on to flop, you'd think maybe the Saints would look to pluck a player every now and then from that program. But of course, the Saints have missed on a lot of players, period. Always looking to turn some "raw" athlete into gold. That doesn't work often enough to sustain success, evidently.
