From an outside perspective looking in, this adage appears to be an apt metaphor for much of what is wrong with our football program. Miles is too much of a "players coach" and not enough of a "martinet" (a stern but fair disciplinarian). As such, Miles is mostly responsible for the off-the-field issues last season, and the ongoing lack of discipline on the field during games (personal fouls and other avoidable penalties, players not knowing their assignments, etc.). Miles' philosophy sets the tone, and it trickles down the line to the other coaches. Miles is extremely stubborn, so he may never learn that: coaching is not a popularity contest, it's better to be respected, than liked, and being respected doesn't mean being hated. Miles will likely leave involuntarily, although probably gracefully, in 2-3 years, but he'll do so with his already arranged golden parachute.

Your word usage isn't going to impress anyone because your football knowledge is abysmal.

I think you are wrong.

Miles trusts his players to be men. Most do just that. Some fail and would fail regardless.

Miles will be at LSU as long as he wants.

Thanks for your Gilbert and Sullivan view of the world of college football. An overly loquacious way to say I hate Les Miles. His simplicity eludes you. He is and will be the coach for a while here. I am happy he will be here for as long as he chooses.

So, according to you, he is incompetent as a coach, but smart enough to make tons of money doing it? I'll let that one marinate for awhile.

Ok, yes, you are an idiot

As long as Miles keeps recruiting the talent he does he will keep his job. He can be an average coach and average as a disciplinarian with the talent he has.

We are 7 and 2. We will win out, and go to a very nice bowl game. There are more than 100 schools who would love to be in the place LSU is in now.
