re: A Memo to Coach Les Miles - an appeal to show CHARACTER

What logic do you think you are using if you are basing Lee's future performance on past performance against Bama?

Would it not be the SAME logic for Miles to, at half time, look at Jefferson's past performance in the first half, and think "wow he is sucking it up, I predict this will continue ergo I MUST try something different", and then based on past indicators bring in Lee or Mett in the second half?

I don't get how you can say Miles didn't play Lee because of PAST performances, but that logic, inexplicably and conveniently, doesn't apply to Jefferson DURING THE ACTUAL GAME.

I'll say it again, maybe for the last time...I don;t give a good god damn about the decision making process of Miles...about whether or not he could have/should have made a switch, etc. This is a debate I tired of months ago...I'm certainly in no fricking mood to continue it long after it doesn't matter. The JJ versus JL debate will have to do without me for a while I think.

My only point in having jumped into THIS thread was the insistence that Miles' lack of playing Lee was the result of some character issue and required some public apology to the fans. That's complete bullshite, and there's no evidence AT ALL that his decision to play one player over another was ANYTHING other than a coaching decision. Can it be argued it was a bad one? Sure...go ahead, I won;t be taking part in beating that dead horse but be my guest. But to declare it a character issue really says more about the person making that claim than it does about the actual situation.
