Dear Coach Miles,


I hope you have tossed and turned the last 2 nights when trying to fall asleep, because I know every other die hard Tiger fan has had this same problem. I hate to see my Tiger's lose more than anything because it ruins my entire week, but to be completely honest with you, I am glad we lost in the fashion that we did. It exposed you as the overrated coach that you are. Lets set aside the final 3 mins of the game where we had everything fall into place and almost got lucky enough to win. Lets talk about the first 57 mins of the game. The 57 mins in which Ole Miss racked up 450 yards of offense vs our 150 yards of offense. Lets talk about the 38 yards of offense we had in the 2nd half before we started our final drive. Do you realize you made yourself look like a complete jackass on national television by the stunt you pulled in the last 1:37 of the game? Then you tried to lie and say you didnt call the spike, but every media outlet from here to Tuscaloosa had you on camera calling for the spike. Did I think something like this could ever happen? Of course I did. I remember your 1st game at Arizona State when you tried to call a time out with under 2 mins left in the 1st half when our WR caught the ball and ran out of bounds. Coach, if you didnt know, the clock stops when someone runs out of bounds. You really are a complete moron and probably the dumbest coach out of the entire 117 they have in Division I football. I keep hearing about these Top 5 recruiting classes we get every year. Where is the talent produced by these recruiting classes? You are suppose to be this offensive line guru. We have the worst offensive line in the SEC and probably ranked in the bottom 50 teams in Division I.

Lets talk about the SEC. I dont think a lot of people realize this. LSU is 7-8 in the SEC in the last 2 years. 7 and 8!!!!!! We have to beat an AR-Kansas (most of you will get this) team who is very hot right now just to get to .500 in SEC play for the last 2 years. Alabama has 7 more wins than we do in the SEC in just 2 years. This is the same Alabama team who we are suppose to compete with in the SEC West year in and year out.

The more and more I think about it, the more and more pissed off I become. Who in the LSU administration was in charge of negotiating your contract? You backdoor your way into the national championship with 2 losses and beat a team that was and still is more overrated than you are. This is also the same year in which we won 4 ball games in the final minute. We could have easily been 7-5 that year. After all of this, we procede to give you a contract that will pay you $4 million a year, and a buyout clause of $16 million, decreasing every year as your contract comes to an end. As I stated 2 years ago with you at the helm, we would become a middle of the road SEC team. Well Les, guess what. I was wrong. We arent even a middle of the road SEC team. We are a below .500 team.
LSU is a top 5 program in the national. Well at least I thought we were. We should finish in the Top 5 year in and year out. We have more talent per capita than any other state in the US. You have no other school in the state to recruit against. Recruit in state talent, and pick up a couple of superstars from other states and we should compete every single year. Our facilities are second to none, and the weather for football is perfect year round. LSU is a top 3 coaching job in America and we have you as our head coach. This is what completely confuses me. How in the world did we end up with you? Oklahoma State couldnt wait to see you go.

I hope you realize what you did Saturday night and take full blame for it. Dont try and throw anyone else under the bus for it. You get paid $4 millon dollars a year. I dont blame anyone but YOU. Not only did you let down yourself, your team, and your other coaches, but you let down the entire state of LOUISIANA, who lives and dies by LSU football. It was a disgrace to call you my coach on Saturday night. I was embarrassed to be a Tiger fan and I have never felt this way in my entire life. You make $4 million a year and the players who play their heart out for you cant even have a job that pays them $5 an hour while they play collegiate sports. You let us all down.

P.S. Bill Belichick wants to thank you for letting him off the hook.

Sincerely,

BLanoix

That letter is so full of purple and gold kool aid/exaggeration/loose facts that it really lost about 99% of its punch.

IMO, this is the most important statement. Even if LSU would've lucked out a win Sat, it doesn't change the fact that they were completely outplayed the entire game.

That is most concerning to me b/c it's waaaay to common. Well, that & the fact that our HC is Elmer Fudd.

That would have been more appropriate.

There's plenty of opinion in that letter, no doubt. But what are the loose facts/exaggerations? Looks pretty factual to me.

I agree....I'm tired of seeing us get dominated in games. Even some of the games we win we get domintated in....hell look at the stats from this years La Tech and ULL games...you would have thought that ULL was a close game and that La Tech beat us...down right terrible

So you weren't around for Curley's "Send your earrings home to Mama in a box" speech?

I hate it when people use this argument. It just makes them look stupid IMO.

And it makes more sick that "fans" try to downplay our NC season of '07. You sound like gumps.

I think the motion he was making was for the team to get lined up on the ball as the clock would start as soon as it was marked ready for play.

Other than that....dead on.
