"it was fixed immediately and they were better prepared for the Arky and PSU game."

Miles is an average coach that ENTIRELY relies on his assistants.

Stupid remark..... About as stupid as any as I have ever read....

Ever heard of Kirby Smart ... Will Muschamp?

You forget that Saban had Jimbo Fisher and Will Muschamp at LSU in '03....

Perhaps, but those "DUMBASS" comments were NOT mine.

Better to win ugly than to take a pretty loss like the last 2 years to AL.
Problem is that perception that our program has not maintained insofar as competent coaching and talent development.
The only way to change that perception is for Miles to have a double in season this year. In reality, it would be his 1st double digit win season with players that were 100% his recruits and his head assistants.
His babbling and plain stupid comments just heighten this perception problem.
What everyone seems to overlook is the lack of strength in our OL and DL. You win in the trenches. No way we should be getting pushed backwards on the line. And the coach responsible for strength and conditioning is still the same. That scenario is as baffling as Miles talk.

Ouch - problem is who picks and mentors those assistants?
Miles has 2 older head assistants that are set in their ways. He is not going to teach them, mentor them, etc.
OFHC has a history of mentoring up and coming assistants that move up the chain.
Miles never was a true mentor to Jimbo or Pellini let alone Crowton and Chavis.

miles is in charge of the entire program. it is his responsibility to find someone to condition the players, and if it's not being done properly then it is his responsibility to fix it or find someone who can. everything in the program ultimately is miles' responsibility. if you're gonna take the hc title and the money it has to.

If your well being depends on your friends acting as if LSU is without blemish, you will suffer. Make peace with reality and stop acting like your 'friends' have authority to make you feel bad.

The fact is we improved overall from 2008 to 2009 so that should be proof enough we are going in the right direction.


It might be colder on April 1st than it was on March 1st, but the direction is still toward getting warmer, and May 1st will definitely be warmer than February 1st and June 1st will definitely be warmer than January 1st.

I agree. WTF is going in the trenches? We get pushed around by almost every team we play.
Does not add up.
And none of our NFL prospects are knocking speed or strength numbers out of the park any longer.
Same guy in charge but crappy results?
I did hear that Moffitt is a hard a-- and Miles told him to lay off the tough guy routine all the time. Who knows??

Chavis.

That's debatable. Sure, the numbers looked better last year, but still giving up the big play that seems to win the game (Bama, Florida, PSU, Ole Miss). Lost in the mix of improvement in stats last year was those big plays that we're still giving up to the other side. That shite needs to stop, PERIOD. We'll see this year about Chavis.

If the referee calls that tackle on Ridley inbounds, then he fricked up the Arkansas game as well. What exactly about the end of the PSU game was good clock management? Calling a middle screen inside ten yards is good?

quote:
Crowton didn't get a raise this year.
First thing that came up on Google:


1. You are fricking retard because that raise was approved in the middle of the fricking season and not the end.

2. A middle screen with 40+ seconds left and only about 20 yards out of range was a calculated risk. It is easy to say throw at the sidelies every damn play or never run the ball, but considering field position it wasn't horrible. The thing you should have notices was how the offense was on the ball and aware that throwing that screen was requiring then to quickely spike if it didn't go far enough. The thing that fricked it up and eventually ended the game was the ref not doing his job.

3. Regardless of the team actually accomplishing a two minute drill te fact they were putting forth a calculates effort is the important thing. One team has to lose even if they put forth great effort and execute well.

It can't be helped I guess if people want to listen to stupid pundits in the media criticize our team and just let it happen. Did you even know that Harbough and the Ravens made worse clock management and play calling mistakes the Sunday after the Ole Miss game when they lost to the Colts? People really don't realize that our team and coaching staff are still very strong. All yall can do is criticize Miles and dismiss all of his great accomplishments.

After reading the OP, I am convinced that someone needs to do something about the sad state of affairs that is the Louisiana education system.

I take my hat off to the Miles apologists. You guys never cease to amaze me. Anyone pointing to the Penn State and Arkansas games as proof of Miles fixing his Clock Management problems is delusional.

We made the same mistakes in both games. Moreover, Miles has made major Clock Management mistakes since Day One. There have been countless threads outlining them over the past weeks and months. He either lacks a fundamental understanding of the rules, or is incapable of thinking while under pressure. Either way, this is unacceptable for a $4 mill a year Head Coach.

It was 30 seconds, meaning a tackle in bounds pretty much seals the game. It was an unacceptable risk under those circumstances, particularly given the field conditions which made it harder to make a move and dodge a tackler.

That's a red herring. Even if the PSU hadn't stayed on top of our guy, we would have lost too much time.

They would have had 20 seconds which would have been plenty of time for 3-4 more plays.

The majority of the people that are so called tiger fans don't know how stupid yall sound.

LSU was 3rd in the SEC last year. They improved their record. Miles won a title in his 3rd season which rationally can not be attributed to Saban.

It makes me sad how stupid many are in the fanbase. Most of are fanbase really deserve a shitty coach and team that will have us finishing in the bottom half of the SEC.

So go ahead and get rid of him the 90s were better anyway.
