Miles gets to make the decisions whether I like them or not and he owes me no explanation as to why. We don't know every reason he makes decisions and he doesn't tell all. He's sort of a private coach. I don't necessarily like that because I have questions like a lot of folks, but all these letters, memos, pleas and criticism are just stupid. He's not going to react to the fickle fan base especially after all the booing and other antics the LSU fans have displayed.
Fans seem to think Les should care about whether we respect him or like him. Well, he doesn't and I'm damn glad he doesn't care what some of the fools on this board think about him. It's highly doubtful that money is suddenly going to stop coming into the program because of a 13-1 season and play in the BSCNG. It was a great season until the end. Best season ever.
The game is over. Move on. Get a life. Look forward to the Spring game. Hate him if you want. Love him if you want. Boycott the games if you want. He's like the Honey Badger. He does what he wants and he don't care. I wouldn't either after the past several years of crap from our fans. There's not a damn thing a bunch of idiots can do about it.
THIS.
If the results of the game 2 nights ago pains some of you that much...then go find another team to root for. Turn in your tickets. For every 1 of you, there are 100 people who would gladly take your tickets off your hands. This sense of entitlement makes me want to puke. Miles does not have to tell you people shite. Go get on the Alabama bandwagon. It is rolling pretty good right now. We don't need you.

I thought it was one of the best post on this issue so far. What planet are you from ?

Well he couldn't put JL in late in the game. If we had scored with JL late in the game, CLM would
have looked like an idiot. LOL.

While I don't necessarily disagree with what you are saying, it could be that he just doesn't want to say the truth. That truth would be that Jarrett does not have the best throwing mechanics. He routinely throws off his back foot, leans away from contact while he is throwing and throws the ball up to avoid getting hit. Saying those things about him would be hurtful and helps no one, so he could have taken the high road and said nothing.
I actually support him not playing Jarrett because he took some vicious hits in Tuscaloosa and threw both his picks after that. Bama was riding high in confidence at that point and knowing he couldn't hurt them with his feet, they would have pinned their ears back and rushed him, probably resulting in a interception.
Given the situation and obvious conclusion that Saban had probably schemed for Jarrett, I think Miles should have really thrown Bama a curve starting the 2nd half and trotted Mettenburg out and tried throwing with him, being a better pocket passer with a stronger arm. Just a little success passing would have moved the Bama LB's off the line of scrimmage and possibly given our running game a chance to get started. I know it would have been disrespectful to Jarrett but we were trying to win a NC, not spare hurt feelings.I realize, like many, that we would not have been in that position if it were not for Lee but IMO, he was not the man for the job at that specific time, given the situation and the level that Bama was playing at. LSU needed a real shot in the arm and something that Saban had not prepared for to turn the momentum.

The appeal is to clear that up in order for him to avert questions about his central theme of character.
What if it would cause more harm? Why do you automatically assume the worst of people?

There is a difference between having character and being a character. Les Miles fits the former. You fit the latter.
