The media is so full of crap. They are just a bunch of church women gossiping and call themselves sports writers. They love to gossip and pile on any opportunity they can find to make their personal self worth feel better. I listened to the Comcast Sports Guys Program last night. Mark Richt is 1-4 and they could not say one bad thing about Mark Richt. So true for Dooley. But Coach Miles? They use him weekly as their punching bag. I'm in our coaches corner and I hope we show them all up with a great season.

I with you but look at what happened on National Television. It's a much bigger story than UGA losing another, or UT who are already a after thought. LSU is still news for now.

When LSU beats Florida, all the haters will suddenly be all back on the bandwagon.

I don't know what media you're listening to but they are calling for Richt's head in GA.

Also, you have to kind of understand the concern surrounding Miles' coaching ability when for the the third time in 8 or 9 games his clock management has cost or almost cost us a game. It's not difficult to resolve this nonsense in practice. Clock running, no timeouts, -40 seconds....run a play immediately or stop the clock. Pretty simple.

I would not say Richt is getting a free pass- check out this article in the Atlanta-Journal.

It's the manner in which the clock was utilized at the end of the game. Had LSU lost and it not come down to clock mismanagement yet again (i.e. we don't complete the 4th and 14), this game would not be receiving much attention.

Miles is the easy target. This is the state of the majority of journalism in this country right now, no matter the topic. Blame the public for continuing to support this garbage. Very few read in-depth, thoughtful reporting.

Just 2 hours north of you we are hearing very little of that sentiment.

you are right.. and where do you think the seed is planted for what they do??

The NATIONAL media seems to know that field is ripe with discontent around Baton Rouge.. and they are feeding off of that!

LSU is winning and that's the only reason people are sticking with him! My question from several weeks ago is still the same Why can't we dominate anyone? In years past of tiger football when we got ahead of a team we would continue to put the pressure on and blow them out or at least completely shut them down! How many games have we done this since Miles has been here? Not Many! Look at any other top 20 team. They never stop scoring! Miles has no backbone!

alright TenTex! the media sells viewership and really doesn't give much of a hooter damn about accuracy (as long as it's not so bad they get fired). they're pretty much picking up a theme that they view as entertaining, tabloid style. you know, the woman that claims she was impregnated by the two headed alien type story. sadly, people (viewers) buy into that stuff and the truth becomes a nonissue. miles comes across poorly because of his sluggish, difficult to understand speech patterns. when he won the national championship, the media was very high on him and thought, as most did, that miles was witty. now, after making some very visible gaff's, witty turns to bumbling. it's all about perception. also, dooley is basically a media nobody so they think noone wants to hear about his screw ups. i doubt richt is newsworthy either as he is boring as hell and who cares about a 1-4 team. so miles is newsworthy and he is getting embarassed nationally because of his inability to handle time situations late in close games. unfortuntely for him, he was branded last year in the ole miss game. that brand will never go away now (my opinion) because everyone makes mistakes and he will make more of them.

It's a better story........

Miles makes himself an easy target as well.

You all really believe we beat Fla. in the swamp after Bama took them to the wood shed last Sat.? How are we going to score? Maybe Jasper with 3 field goals.

You're listening to the wrong media then. All the way back from BR, the talk show guys were saying Richt needs to be fired and that Dooley was "Dumber" to Miles' "Dumb". One show was even offering a T-shirt to anyone who would photoshop Miles and Dooley on a "Dumb and Dumber" movie poster and email it to them. Last week, even before they lost to Colorado, the Atlanta paper had an editorial entitled "Mark Richt is in trouble at Georgia". They are definitely not getting passes, and Miles is getting exactly what he deserves.

Does this have anything even remotely to do with the topic of this thread?

What ever happened to "just enjoy the football season"???

I just wish everyone would leave our guys alone and let them continue to play/coach/win games.

We are 5-0. Try and take the time to enjoy the ride. This thing isn't over yet- and everyone should stop pretending that it is. There's still a lot of football to be played.

Miles has won more games in less time than any other head coach in LSU history. You can't argue with that- it is fact. Let's see how the rest of the season goes- please.

Dooley took over a mess, is barely into his first season. The last play was a cluster frick, that can happen to anyone, if you see repeating patterns, then it will be a concern. Richt is on the hot seat, but other than being a bad team right now, has he done anything as staggeringly stupid as the end of the 09 OM and 10 UT games like Miles?
