re: The Root of the Les Criticism IMHO.

The root is, Nick Saban. The people who refuse to acknowledge miles is one of the top coaches in the land, view saban as thier guy. They wish he was still here and really think he would come back if les left.

has nothing to do with les. It's their love for saban. that's their guy. They like a coach who's chewing out players. it's miles #1 flaw in their mind. he's way to respectful.

Right...it's this. It's far more about the image than anything tangible. When you have to resort to bitching about the WAY a team wins because there's no legitimate way to complain about an 82% winning clip without sounding like a fricking loon, there's a real problem.

And just for the record...there are things Miles does that drive me bat-shite crazy! But at the end of the day, as a guy who has followed LSU religiously since I was 12 in 1982, I really Really REALLY like winning at this kind of clip. Had you ever told me LSU would be in a position to do this in my lifetime I'd have never believed you. It doesn't make me complacent, it makes me HAPPY! We're winning at a rate never seen before at LSU. Could be be EVEN BETTER? Yeah! But that in no way means I have to manufacture complaints about where we are now, because there is only one program in the nation that would not trade for ours. I just can't muster up the needed vitriol to complain that it should be even MORE awesome.

Your mileage may vary...
