Les Miles Deserves More Than Just Accolades, He Deserves Apologies

I have read the posts. I saw the taunts. There were people here who took note of SPECIFIC character flaws with Les, to point out how BAD a coach he was, and how he could never hold a candle to Nick Saban. Now I know for a good week, and even leading up to the Bama game, there were many 'I was wrong' posts.
But for God's sakes, people were BOOING in Tiger Stadium when JJ was put into the game for the first time several weeks ago. I heard it!
When it was discussed, some of you said 'here we go again!', or 'well we are not booing the player, we are booing the decision making.' And on and on.
Now everyone wants forgiveness for calling Les names, and is jumping on the bandwagon.
Bah, its so frustrating when you seem like one of 5 standing up for the coach and for the team, and when they have positive results, everybody falls over them and has a short memory.
I wonder what this place will be like if we lose to Arkansas.
Winning does not have to be the end-all guys. Not to make a comparison, but Ohio State fans stood by their coach even when he loss ALL the big games to SEC teams, and even when he was forced to resign. Can't we just make a pledge to stick by Les, and admit we will always have the best coach, right here, right now, for as long as he wants to be?

He doesn't deserve apologies. Part of his job is dealing with fans and media. I think he has the fans now and all he cares about is winning the next game and keeping this team on track for a championship.

And this is why Miles is the coach and the inbreds that were booing went back to their trailer parks and fixed a heaping bowl of ramen noodles.

I am a sorry Les.
I know how much my opinion matters to you

quote:I think you are waay behind the curve here EthanL because all season long, former Miles baiters have been saying how wrong they were and how much they are learning to appreciate Coach Miles. Am glad you finally came up for air, but where have you been? And I just want you to understand something else: Booing in Tiger Stadium did not begin with Coach Miles or JJ or whomever. LSU fans have long since been vocal about what they like and what they don't like. Booing happened back in the Cholly Mac era, on up to the present, and probably before. Tiger fans are passionate about their favorite team, for the good and the bad.

Les don't need apologies.
He is getting the last laugh, and we are all - as LSU fans - benefitting from it.

Ethan, I supported him since day 1 (see prior posts for proof) against the jeers of some of my friends and family and colleagues. I have been calling each one this past week to make sure they weren't choking on the crow.
Not surprisingly, some of them still pick out faults. I actually had one say, "I can't believe he pulled Lee. He has earned the right to play even if he makes a mistake."
I quickly reminded him, "Hey. Miles did put Lee back in the game. And immediately he threw another pick. Come on, you can't leave him in after that!"
"hmm," he said, "Maybe you are right."
Maybe, nothing. I am right! Coach Miles is a great coach. Different style than Saban or Myers, but just as good.... if not better.

let it rest man. you sound like a woman that never forgets shite; gotta scold a man multiple times for frickin' up.

They're quiet now. But if he has back to back undefeated seasons this year and next and then has a rebuilding year, they'll come out of the woodwork.

I, for one, will never forget Ole Miss '09. If I had, I certainly wouldn't after Tennessee last year. I don't hate the guy as a person and maybe your priorities are different than mine, but I will never see him as anything other than a clown of a ch.
I know he does some things really well as an all around coach but I just can not tolerate stupidity of that magnitude. I can get over other team's players outplaying ours, but when our 3 million dollar coach can't make decisions that every middle school coach can, I want him gone. No amount of success will ever change that for me.
I have tried to rationalize what he was thinking those two games, and every time I do, I just end up getting mad and wanting him gone more.

Les deserved to be questioned. We hadn't made a SEC Championship appearance in 3 years and had embarrassing coaching decisions in some games that led to him being questioned (Ole Miss, Penn State, Tenn).
He made 2 bad coaching hires. He finally appears to have fixed the problem this season, but he still made the original mistake and deserved to be held accountable for it

After being 9-0 and most likely 10-0 after Saturday for the first time since 1958 with a huge win over Alabama in what was being coined the "game of the century", this is what you come up with as a topic to talk about? This confirms to me that people who have a funky mindset and are living in mental chaos all the time can be looking at the same thing I'm looking at and be in a completely opposite direction with it.

I do not think JJ should be on the team that is a fact . If JJ starts , I will become the 12th player for the other team.
Everywhere you look college football players are getting in trouble . it needs to stop.Send their butts home too momma !!

I dont disagree.... buy my Dad always told me, " everybody loves a winner!", I think that is appropriate in this context.... Hey Ethan, dont feel too bad for CLM, he is taking in almost $4 Million dollars a year, ($4,000,000!) to put up with us mouthy arse fans that know it all.....

Your view is sooooo this season.
You forget what it was like two years ago around this time. Miles was supposed to be as good as gone.

Lighten up Alice - CLM has been in this game long enough to understand the fan base. He knows he is well respected overall.
