re: Putting Things in Perspective...

I don't argue miles record. It's great. What frustrates me is his seemingly unwillingness to try to get better. I've posted similar thoughts before. The best coaches, employers, employees, students, etc. are the ones who are always looking for continual improvement no mater how good they already are. I don't see that in Miles. He seems completely satisfied in his plan on how to win games. And usually it works. Great. But why not try to expand on what your already good at? It's not hard to argue that our offense has sputtered for almost 5 years now. Maybe it's bc we're the most unlucky team out there when it comes to over rated QB recruits, or maybe it's something else. Either way, it hasn't been working very well, so one would think a great coach would try to mix it up. See if he could make that side of the ball better. Just try. Even if it doesn't work. Just try something different.

I think that's what frustrates people. If he would acknowledge that the offense is a major problem area and show some attempted corrections, people wouldn't be so hard on him. Instead, he says we need to improve, but we see the same thing every week for 5 seasons. Definition of insanity.

Having said all of that. I think Miles has been great for LSU football. Just wish he would get out of his own way sometimes.
