re: The saddest day is when Les Miles retires from LSU

I like Les and think he is one of the best recruiters in the nation, but I think his stubborness has held us back from being the best team that we could be. The biggest misconceptions on the board:

1. If you don't think Les is the best coach in America, then you don't love LSU. LSU is the program, Les is just the coach. One can stink it up and leave, one is here to stay.

2. If Les left today, there is no other coach who can win as many or more games that Les. It is stupid as fck to think that LSU would fall off the earth when Les leaves.

3. Great recruiter=great coach. I don't think anyone has denied he is a great recruiter, but what most fans criticize him for is his in-game management, clock management, and shtty offenses each of the last 5 years. No matter how you look at it, Les is a good coach, but definitely not great folks. He is a great man.
When he fields a better offense to match Chief's defense, then we will dominate like we should instead of barely getting by.

4. Just because he has won a lot of games he is the best coach in the country. What his critics are trying to say is that his record would have/should have been better if it were not for his lack of game management, clock management, and timely changes when needed like changes to the offense.

5. Les will always be a good/great coach; Les has no expiration date. Sorry folks but Les is not immortal as far as coaching skills. He too can lose a step. Les has a lot of Trent Johnsoness going right now. Started off hot, but won't make any changes because he had success doing it his way one year. Most fans want to root for him, but he needs to make changes asap.
