Well our country is infested with knuckle-dragging idiots. So, I wouldn't put much stock in what the rest of the country says.

Considering our side has facts and stats as opposed to your side's insults and nothing, it might be a good idea.

In Internet slang, a troll (/'tro?l/, /'tr?l/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]
This sense of the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, but have been used more widely. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment. For example, mass media has used troll to describe "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families.

Isn't the ultimate goal to win NCs?
The goal, for most sane/rational people, is to compete for SEC/national honors. No college administrator would write a performance guide for any coach which included the need to win a NC.
The fact that LSU has competed in multiple NC games and SECCGs under Miles should demonstrate to most reasonable people that he is meeting his goals. Certainly the leaders at LSU feel he is or he wouldn't be getting new contracts and pay raises.
The Miles success at LSU easily falls into the Top 3 to 5 coaching level in the nation. Like the man or not, like his coaching style or not, like who he plays at QB or not, but he has maintained LSU football for almost a decade at a level that has never been seen before in LSU football history.

ok ok ok...I cant find what I posted a while back. It was about a dozen reasons or more why "negas" have issues with Miles.
Basically what Geauxgert said on p. 14 summarizes quite well. Heres the cliff notes:
1. Better in-game clock mgmt. and use of time-outs.
2. Proactive instead of reactive in handling certain player/coach problems.
3. Showing up and having the team ready to play every game...particularly against clearly over-matched opponents.
4. Developing more of a killer instinct when we have a lead.
5. Less of a mule-headed offensive philosophy when things aren't working.
6. Sticking with players who have the "hot hand" in games where often times these guys disappear on the sidelines.
7. Answer questions directly when on camera...forego the "coach speak."
These are a few things he could do to get ppl off his back and he has made improvements in some areas.

Similar lists could be made for even the greatest of coachs. Expecting perfection out of anyone is ridiculous. And don't even bother saying you don't expect perfection, because you'd be lying.
Posted on 4/23/14 at 11:22 am to RedTigerRulz
So basically you've pointed out everything he's done wrong in the time that he's been here....
You expect SUPREME PERFECTION in a world where, in all reality, competing for SEC and national championships are about as close to perfection as you can get.. This isn't NCAA on the Xbox bro, you can't win every game by 45 points, have your QB throw for 500 yds, your RB rush for 250, two receivers with 150+ yards while signing every 5* recruit with a pulse.....
Your expectations are unrealistic and until you realize this, you will never be satisfied with the golden age of LSU football...

in reality they'll just keep moving the bar, this is why we reach the "hate Miles" conclusion. They're simply looking for any justification they can find to support their dislike of him. If something they throw out is debunked, they just move on to something else.

Why do you keep throwing out this word? No one hates miles. Are you being intentionally obtuse/hard-headed/blind?

About the only place Les's tenure can go from its current standing is perfect, so...

Admit it, RTR (those initials betray you) most of the negative types are just crybabies. You among others didn't like the Miles hire and are nursing your butt hurt over this fact. Is Miles perfect, hell naw but perfection is impossible so you fixate on his mistakes. Instead you come in here and pontificate. If that is what it takes for you to validate yourself, then I suppose it serves a purpose.
Understand these painful facts:
1. Les Miles is a very good coach
2. Les Miles knows way more about football than you will ever know.
3. Les Miles knows more about the assets and liabilities of the players than you will ever know.
4. The people that really matter are pleased with Les Miles.
Painful, I know but that is just the way it is.

This is the only thing that really matters. And neither you or I, or any of your pals, are in this group. Agreed????
