If we have someone better.

If not, hang on to him until a better option presents itself.

But shite isn't going to get better until we demand more.

you (and no one else) will know for sure until the next man steps in. If that happens (Mitt winning), I sure hope you are right........I digress. Back to football.

Didnt say that. And my point is moot? No. Point is, he is 1 of the top 5 highest paid coaches in college football, yet he is not 1 of the top coaches in the game. PERIOD. He doesnt do anything on our defense. Yes, he gets recruits, but even without Les our program will get the top players in the state every year. Our facilities and program speaks for itself and thats what the recruits see. So, we are paying Les $4 million to run a 6th grade offense. Never said we should fire him, but hes the most overpaid coach in college football. I mean Les is making 2x as much as Mullen. Mullen is a better coach than Les. If you cant see that you dont know football.

So, the winningest football coach in LSU history that is currently ranked in the top 10 with the adversity they have faced in injury and admin losses is reduced to that fricking shallow a sentiment?

Dude, are you fricking serious?

Brah, you have a world of wisdom to gain at this point.

No I do not....but i do know that most teams will fail when they try to run against teams with similar talent and playing 8-9 men in the box.

Sounds like Fulmer in the middle of 05.

Very.

What would it take for you to agree?

Are you happy to have nice seasons? Teams with no drive, discipline, or heart?

I'm not.

I do not know as well. BUT, Towson (not even similar talent) did pretty good against the run. Imagine USCe and Alabama (especially after 1/9) stack with 8-9 men. Saban doesn't even need a gameplan because he already knows what's coming.

Drops have hurt but running plays that have little chance for success are hurting us more.

If LSU had just kept the ball for a few first downs in the 3rd qtr we win the game. How about spreading a defense out with 4 wrs and running from the shotgun? At least fricking try it

13-1 SEC Champs......"nice season"

even though we all were disappointed in 1/9, it was far from a "nice season".

Your position is National Champs or nothing......dude, that's weak.

The point is you don't have to be an expert to recognize mistakes being made.

Well, heard a quote last night that made sense and that was in the SEC, every coach is always on the hotseat.

The conference members don't really rest on their laurels and it is "what have you done for me lately."

I don't see anyone I would want to replace Miles with though at this point, and never have. Everything is fixable IMO. I just get frustrated at times, like most of us do.

Either this 2-3 deep elite talent we are recruiting is overrated or the development isnt there, or the system just isn't right for the personnel.

Really interested to see how the team responds at home this Saturday. The season definitely hangs in the balance.

I didn't think so, but each to our own.

I have seen a hell of a lot more "good" football from LSU teams since 05 than bad football, but then I understand that 18-22 yr old guys and those who coach them are gonna have their ups and downs. I'm just glad the ups are running like 90% in the last 20 games, the downs like 10%, and since 05 the ups are like 80+%...works for me.

again, it's not necessarily the recognizing of mistakes, but the masses who have all the answers without knowing the internal circumstances. They go on and on with their strategies assuming they'd work with the conditions the man has going on now. They drag him through the mud KNOWING they have all the solutions and yet don't know what's happening behind closed doors.

Yup.

I want to play a consistent brand of football that matches our level of talent.

I want a team that plays with drive and heart.

Hell, I'd just settle for disciplined play at this point.

Debatable. I don't think Florida is a Top 10 team.
