Do you know what is more messed up? The idea that the head coach is staring off to the side and assuming that someone else is handling clock management issues. Really, not running a play is actually a "play call" in and of itself and usually requires some attention from the head coach.
You know, it's really just a waste of my time talking to people like you. You'll find a way to complain about anything, even when we win. Enjoy your misery, I bet it's a lot of fun.

Three yers later when he beat alabama three in a row. Fact of the matter was had we not have such an abortion of an offense in 2011, we would have been behind les miles 100 percent. Then had we won the following year for the revenge game we would have been soothes.
It's in most afans mind even mind to this day 2011 not only did we get humiliated we had the hardest fricking by an opposing team in a football game in lsu history.
We couldn't pass the fifty fricking yardline.
It was a blow out on the biggest stage ever. Then when we had our chance for payback we got our arse kick with a minute left...then we got beat again by three touchdowns this year.
If our strongest team was beaten and blown out what about in the future.

Les did not have a clue what was going on with the clock and the downs at the end of the game.
Les should inspire all of us--do so much wrong and still make over $4 million a year...
IF anything I'd say the OC that is in the booth looking down on the game has as much (or more) say and control of how the last series is run. Dissagree if you want - but the OC can certainly dictate how the series is run... and NO I do not think Cam recommended something different and Les overruled him...
As for his salary -- based on the rest of high level college football -- LSU is getting a hell of a deal with Les in terms of salary paid vs. wins, bowl wins, team ranking, recruiting ranking, graduation rates, etc.
Stoops is paid more -- LSU has won more. Mack Brown was paid more --- LSU has won A LOT more. Arkansas paid more for Bret --- they won how many SEC games? Ole Miss is paying more ---- yep, LSU lost that game -- but who finished higher in the west and the rankings?

We lost the game on 1/9/2012 in New Orleans.... we got beat by a better team that night. Our offense was bad the whole year and our defense was great the whole year. IN this "hardest fricking" ever contest you do realize that we were within 1 score the entire first half, right? So 1 broken play, one big pass, etc. and we would have LED the game at half time?
I'm not making excuses -- but did you watch ANY of the games during the Curley Hallman era --- how about the 70-3 raping the Ole Ball Coach put on us in Tiger Stadium... or how about the 30 years we went without a win vs. Alabama in Tiger stadium..... hmmmm -- your frame of reference seems way too short.
We are living the GLORY Days of LSU football right now --- stop pissing on your boots and enjoy the fricking parade man... these ARE the good days -- they truly are!

There is truth to the Bama issues. They were on top and have been the major competitor. Miles kind of choked away the revenge game after getting blanked in the NC and then blew the bowl game last year.
We laid an egg against a seriously undermanned Ole Miss team this year and completely fell apart against Bama. So he deserves criticism for that. If he had lost the bowl game, things would be looking down because that would have been 3 losses in his last four bowl games. But they won and he ran Hill to get the W and didn't repeat the crazy decisions he made last year in the bowl game.
He's averaging a solid 10+ wins per season no matter how sloppy certain Ws might look. However, the bottom line is that it's a what-have-done-for-me-lately profession now and schools aren't patiently waiting on conference championships, etc., anymore. His biggest challenge may be getting at least a few of his players to stay that extra year because LSU lost way more than any other school last year and is on track to lose a bunch this year (and that's including players that got drafted late or didn't get drafted at all). That's a problem when you're expected to compete for championships.

Hey, I don't hate Les, I like him in fact, and I realize this is the LSU glory day but people are asking about the Les Miles era and base on the Les Miles era time frame ONLY. That is the example I am using.
Also IF you were to take into context about the Ole Ball coach arse frickign of us 70-3 then you have to put it into the same context that LSU as a program sucked. We got defeated by a superior team.
It was akin to what we did to Ole Miss in 2011, Ole missed sucked, we went to their house and went over 50 on time we knew they were down and shitty.
What alabama did under the les mile era still resonated as the 2011 team was absolutely beastly. They were probably the strongest LSU team that ever took the field and was not able to cross the fifty yard line and scored 0 in the BIGGEST game of them all.
That;s why people still haven't given miles credit, he have yet to avenge the LSU football program.

Really, I'm the dumbass? Then why was the offense even on the field? Don't let facts get in the way if your narrative
Posted on 1/2/14 at 4:08 pm to AlaTiger
Does Miles win games? Yes.
Does Miles know why he wins games? Not really.
Face it, dude's dumb, but he has a VERY good staff.

Just reminding y'all that it was a 58-3 drubbing at home by Florida under Spurrier. Don't make it worse than it was because it was pretty awful as I remember it.
Also, for the other poster, Bama went up 9-0 right before half of the BCSNC game. But score-wise, they didn't knock us out until about five minutes left in the 4th with the long TD run.
Miles punting with 3+ minutes left on 4th and 9 down 21-0 in the NC is what I never forgot. I would like to move on.

The guy said solidly in 3rd. Some flash in the pan one year isn't magically moving Auburn ahead of us. Especially after we beat them this year.

Flash in the pan all you want. When is LSU's last BCS bowl win?
Auburn won the title in 2010. They are there again.

We get it. You're not impressed with miles and results on the field don't matter to you.
Posted on 1/2/14 at 5:08 pm to LNCHBOX
I've made about three posts in this thread. None of them mentioned Miles at all. They just corrected your ignorance that two SEC Western division foes are lapping LSU right now.
BCSCG > Outback Bowl

You've made plenty of posts in any threads. Auburn hasn't beaten us since 2010, forgive me for not announcing them as solidly ahead of us.
Eta: I didn't even read your whole post. Auburn is lapping us? that's rich.

When he doesn't constantly lose the best players in the state and wins something besides the Outback Bowl and Capital One.
