How do people do it?

I tried. Suffered through last year, put it on the defensive staff.

But the excuses are running out.

I'm asking a legitimate question here. How are you guys who defend Miles standing behind him?

Because Miles has proven that he can win the BCS Championship.

Because he can maintain an elite recruiting program.

Because he has LSU football at the highest pinicle of success in history.

Because he keeps bringing in great recruiting talent.

Because a coach needs two things to win conference and BCS championships: a lot of talent, and an experienced and talented QB. and when Miles and his coaching staff get those things, they win championships.

Because if we get another H.C., there is no guarantee it will be for the better.

How many years did it take for USC, Texas, Oklahoma, and Bama to find the winnig coaches they have now?

N.D, Michigan, Miami, Nebraska are all still searching for their past glory, and the NegaTigers want to give up what we already have--amazing.

He's won 50 games in 5 years and that's never been done by any LSU coach in history.

It's never been done - it hasn't been pretty or smooth, but he's successful.

Don't support him if you so choose - but do it with your eyes open - there is no objective problem with the program right now, so you're opposed to him for some subjective reason, other than his performance as LSU's head football coach.

there are several reasons i stand behind him...

+class act; great rep for LSU; LSU is my college; not my professional football team

+great recruiter

+put exciting and competitive teams on the field

+great record the last 5 yrs, incl an SEC and National Title

we hit a bump last yr and i thing he deserves a chance to right the ship. i see it happening, even though the offense is struggling. we have a chance for a very good bowl this year and our future looks bright. i believe our offense will improve greatly next year; if not, coach miles needs to hold our offensive coaches accountable. i believe GC had earned another yr also. RP and OL attrition has been tough, but i think we will get through this time. the last reason i stick with coach miles is because most of the crap i read on here about why he's not a good coach is unmitigated bull shite propagated by fools that don't know shite about football and their choices for his "replacement" are not proven to be as good as him much less better.

Do the math...50-13...use your brain...think big picture.

You should have put it on Ryan Perilloux. With him we contend...without him, well you know...you suffered through it.

Who's making excuses...we're not as talented as past clubs and inexperienced at key positions. only fools think LSU has championship talent. Ask Miami...Fla St...Auburn...Nebraska...Alabama...Tennessee about down cycles.

I'll give you a legitimate answer...he hasn't forgotten how to coach championship teams because we, as of now, do not posess championship talent. Screw the recruiting stars and watch our players and I defy you, except for a few, to tell me our talent is exceptional. We are very average at many positions and all the 'coach em up' in the world ain't gonna change that fact. If anything, at 8-2, the staff (except for Crowton) are doing a remarkable job.

You asked and it's JMHO.

B/c we realize there ain't much better we could hire at the moment, I'm risk averse and thus satisfied w/ above avg play mixed in w/ a lucky season here or there (2007). Don't want to see us turn out like other fallen giants: Nebraska,Miami, etc

GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Are you people kidding me?

Are they going to put Les Miles' name next to the greats of all time? Probably not.

Les Miles is a damn strong head coach. There are probably only a handful of coaches that I would trade him for ... and don't give me names out of non-BCS schools because there's no guarantee of their success in a conference like the SEC.

Is he #1? No
Is he #1 in the SEC? No

Is he in the top 10 in the country? Probably

Damn, that's good enough for me.

50 wins in 5 seasons and he can still add 3 more to the this one.
