Now that my friend is some quality droppings. Best post in this thread and POY nominee

He has been, and remains, a polarizing HC. He's a very good recruiter, but not an equally good HC, especially on game day. What we saw last night is a prelude to what LSU football is going to be for the remainder of his tenure.

And to whoever posted this, and all the Madden Hall of Famers sucking him off about being "spot on", explain to me how is it that Miles is "a very good recruiter, but not an equally good HC, especially on game day", but he just so happens to be the ONLY COACH IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY to have a winning record in games in which his team trailed in the 4th quarter. THE ONLY ONE. ANYWHERE.

I'm sure your brigade will spew some limp wristed hypothetical with no facts to back it up like "Well a really good HC wouldn't be trailing in those games to begin with" blah blah blah.

Miles is an exceptional game day coach and HIS RECORD PROVES IT. Not only has he won more games than ANY OTHER COACH since coming to LSU, but he has consistently shown over almost a decade the ability to rally his team when the game is on the line, to identify the things that aren't working and exploit weaknesses in the opposition to achieve victory when defeat seems imminent. And he has done so more than ANY OTHER COACH. PERIOD.

That my friend, is one of the clearest marks of an elite head coach that I have ever seen at any level.

Does he go into every game with the exact perfect game plan? No. But show me a single one Iin the history of sport that does??? Last night was one of those times when the plan didn't play out the it was drawn up.

But he fricking fixed it on the fly, and did it in a huge fricking hole with all the momentum stacked against him and his players. Again, THAT IS WHAT GREAT COACHES DO, and what Miles does better than ANYONE.

If you and your ilk can't see that, then you are truly blind.
