You are lumping those that didn't like the kick with anyone that disapproves with miles in general. It's par for the corse for the miles pumpers, but also a common misconception too.

You are not able to solve the riddle that this coach has had more than eight years to get the offense right. But even when we had nfl talent on offense, then he wasn't able to piece together a good defense together to compliment that offense. That means recruiting, then developing every position to where you are not in the position to have to decide on kicking or playing one more play ...or keeping time outs.....we didn't have any.

But we have a long line of have nots, vs haves when it comes to qbs. Also there is a long line of Garret's, Keils and rettigs etc that didn't work, but yet this is the best we have.

Meanwhile, newer sec coaches are coveted by other programs while we can't give ours away. You'll defend him and or his preparation until it's too late. With the win, we are still only 9-7 in the sec in two years. That's embarrassing.

But to boil down the LSU lovers vs the miles lovers on one kick before the half is utterly amazing. It actually puts you in a pathetic group. There's way more to it than that.

Nah, I had my own WTF moment, but that passed quickly once I thought about the risks of running another play. And I'm sure not still posting about how dumb it was the next day.....after WE WON.

But of course, I am one of the few that doesn't seem to think Jennings is the worst QB alive and understand why he's playing over Harris right now.

This thread is calling out the hypocrisy of those that skewer Jennings on a daily basis, yet now ridicule our coach as some clock bungling moron for kicking last night instead of trusting that same QB to run another play.

You see, here is where your feigned objectivity cracks.

You criticize me for "defending" Miles, as if the decision to kick needed defending, while slipping in the irresistible jab of suggesting we can't "give away" the coach that has won at a higher rate than any other history of this program.

You may "covet" other SEC coaches, although other than Saban I'm not quite sure who that would be, but don't speak for me.

I'll take Miles over Sumlin, Malzahn, Freeze, Mullin, or any other of the dozens of flavor of the week coaches you coveted over the years that have come and gone throughout Miles tenure while he continued to win more than anyb of them.

To suggest that anyone could do what Miles has done, when in fact no one has in over 100 years, is quite riduculous, and would be funny if it didn't have the unfortunate effect of harming the program you claim to love.

Which explains the string of losing seasons under Miles? What you mean to say is that he isn't running the offense you want.

A decision that no other coach has ever faced?

You want to give away a coach that has never had a losing season here? Give me an example of newer coaches being lured away. Quite an exodus isn't it?

More properly put it pits the LSU fans over the Miles haters. It was the correct decision, but fortunately people like you seem to find an alternate what if scenario to match your hatred.
