I watched his presser today and I think he gets a bad rap. He is a straight shooter and I think he knows what he is talking about.

Yes he has had some bad moments but most everybody has. I guess he just has to implement his vision. The offense needs to find itself you guys will be a good team.

Just my honest opinion!

Les Miles is a great guy. People don't take that into consideration. Yes, it shouldn't matter, but I'm proud to say that he's our coach due to that issue. Now he needs to prove himself on the field this year.


Out of all the coaches, he is one that I think would sit down with just about anybody and talk to you like a normal person.

Wanna trade? We will even throw a slightly used QB in the deal.

I liked Shula. He was such a nice guy.

I also like Miles but I would love to see him be more of a "Riverboat Gambler".

you love les like the rest of the "s.e.c. conference" loved shula, zooker, croom. i'd take a poke at nutt, but he seems to outcoach us every year, or we give him a victory through an uncontrollable entity like a game clock. dame you, game clock. if we find a way to take "time out" just to give ourselves a better chance to win. 17 seconds, why must you mock us?!

I watch I guess he just has to implement his vision.


OMG hahaha you are just killing me. Les is going to start implementing his VISION now? The last couple of years have been someone else's vision? is that what you are saying. The real LSU as coached by Les MIles is yet to be unveiled?

Thank God, I've been worried that LSU is sinking into mediocrity.

Yes he has had some bad moments but most everybody has.

When it comes to public speaking, Miles would do well to learn from SEC Masters like Nick Saban, whose eloquence was best demonstrated in his comparison of a loss to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. Saban is cited by many around the SEC as the conference's most articulate spokesman, and with comments such as the one above it's easy to see why.

All you have to do is decipher it first.

Bad moments that are blunders are bad enough, but bad moments that actually cost you the game are more than "bad moments".

After 6 years he hasn't implemented it yet?

This is true.

Most Alabama fans do. Hell, most fans of all other SEC teams do. I would too, if I were a fan of a team that plays LSU regularly.

How so? He has a very talented team that doesn't even come close to living up to the talent level?

quote:

He is a straight shooter


If you wanted a straight shooter, then you should be happy. If you wanted a good football coach, I don't think you should be happy.

quote:

I think he knows what he is talking about.


If you see his coaching choices, you would see that he doesn't know what he is talking about. Being able to talk about it and being able to do it are two totally different things.

quote:

Yes he has had some bad moments but most everybody has.


Not as many or as bad. His bad coaching at times last year was famous. If you want a coach that is known (and it is warranted) for making bad choices, then keep him.

quote:

I guess he just has to implement his vision.


This is what separates a good coach from a bad coach.

quote:

Just my honest opinion!


So what you are actually saying is you like him as a person, he is a straight shooter, and he talks a good game. Got it.

However, he was hired to be very successful at coaching. I don't think many here feel he has been successful at the level that was expected of him.

Just my honest opinion.

I agree

the difference between Les and Saban (and Dooley, who is the more elegant law-degree-clone of Saban)

is

Les says what he is thinking, which, in any given context, takes thought and time.

Saban and Dooley recite platitudes, and short sound bites.
slick pricks.

Well, if I were a Bama fan, I'd love Les. I don't want y'all to like our coach. I want y'all to hate the SOB.
