The success LSU has had under Miles is why LSU gets every teams best game. Look at UGA after the epic game they played against LSU. Back to back losses. There has been much accomplished with a first year OC and after the ruination of Mett from the last OC. There are a lot of fans who equate college football coaching to pee wee or their local class A high school, not understanding what managing a corporation is like, which is more comparable to coaching college football at any level. Miles is among the coaches who will be talked about historically as being winners. What Saban is doing Bama is legendary. It sucks that it's not at LSU, but to want Miles fired for not winning all of them every year is just naive.

Time to rediscover my life and take a hiatus. But I'll leave w/ this, he's called 3rd and Chavis for a reason. LSU's shitty defensive gameplan made an All-American out of an average (at best) SEC QB. Bo Wallace?! He has the worst windup/delivery/throwing motion I've ever seen, but strangely, if you give ANYONE time to sit in the pocket, gain confidence, you get what you got last night. Chavis is a good, solid, defensive coach. (But he isn't worth $1 mil per, and neither is Lester worth whatever ridiculous sum he's plunking down). But he dials up stale, passive, gameplans, that the rest of the league is onto. They see him coming from a mile away. Like last night. No, he doesn't "dial up" shitty gameplans, he phones them in. Horrible. After watching a similar shitty gameplan let UGA beat the Tigers, I watched the Alabama defense crowd the line, blitz, pressure Ol Miss' 3d tier SEC QB all night, and they shut them out. Chavis DOES NOT LEARN from the past. If we had played an aggressive defense EVERY frickING GAME this season, we'd be undefeated.

Fire Miles? No. Because the idiots that hire coaches may very well frick up the hire (does the Bd of Supv's STILL want to hire Pelini??) I would love to see what Chris Peterson, or Charley Strong, could do w/ these players, facilities, etc. etc. etc.

Now, fire Studrawa? Yep. He wasn't a good OC, and he's not a very good OL coach, and apparently he's not a good recruiter.

Chavis? He's solid. That's all I can muster right now. He will continue to put together bad gameplans and allow subpar QBs to have time, gain confidence, and pick his defense apart. So, you tell me ... does that bode well for the future.

See ya.

What I think is naive is to think Les Miles and his staff are irreplaceable. What we're seeing are tired coaching methods that aren't ready for the big offenses that like 'em or not, are becoming the norm in college ball. So don't even suggest change. Cholly Mac wouldn't and great as he was, it ended badly. I'd hate to see this happen to CLM and LSU, but look to Texas and Mack Brown. Look at how long it took to get Bobby Bowden to step down at FSU. Are we the new Texas?
