How its humorous (besides auto correct got me in spelling jingo instead of Mingo)?

because you said that talent is the only reason Miles wins (which is asinine in itself)...then in the same breath you say Miles can't develop talent and the players regress....even after we just had 10 juniors declare for the draft.

so...do you believe that Miles wins on talent alone?

....and stop using the "players Miles recruited" angle. It's stupid.

most of them...yes. QB...not lately

1. Would Miles win if he were coaching lets say ole miss, miss st,, mizzou, Kentucky, heck ill even throw Auburn in there for a wrench. Do you honestly think Miles would have 8,9,or 10 win seasons consecutively if he were the head coach at any of these programs?

Better question would you agree that LSU is better talented than Clemson, if so why did we loose that game?

Quote: So you think Miles wins on talent alone?
Most games LSU has far superior talent than their opponent, so in those games it won't matter who the coach is, I remember saying how LSU was going to beat the brakes off of Oregon last year (yes I was ridiculed when I made that statement...on an ESPN thread) and what happened? I still say the only PAC team right now that could give any SEC team trouble was Stanford because of how their talent is spread out across their team offensively and defensively.

So in essence for about 8 of his wins is pure talent, and for every loss it's Coaching since we'd agree LSU would have had the better talent or equal talent (Bama).

Well he won at Oklahoma St. So I'll say yes.

I don't even know where to start addressing how stupid your posts have been. I'll just attack you're idiotic argument.

If you premise is talented players under Miles have regressed, how can LSU be as talented as Alabama? So if we agree that talent regresses and LSU isn't the most talented team, then Miles must be winning games based on his coaching?

So all these underclassmen are leaving right, even when they have had subpar junior seasons right? So could it be that they had stellar sophomore seasons or nfl scouts see huge potential there meaning...............................


Super sophomore season + subpar junior season = regression or lack of player development.

Ooh ooh wait I got a good one for you JJ was considered a 5-7 round pick had he left LSU after his performance in the cotton bowl vs aTm

He can recruit and is a father figure, that is about as far as it goes for him. If he does not find the offensive equivalent of John Chavis LSU is going to slide into mediocrity. I don't care how many 4 or 5 stars you have you can't win championships on talent alone.

That's pretty much my opinion of Miles and the opinion of ALL of my friends. (Most of whom are either LSU grads or former teammates) He's a great recruiter and has assembled a staff full of good recruiters. Outside of Chavis, maybe Haley and Wilson though, this staff doesn't appear to be a real good technical teaching/coaching staff OVERALL. Many weak links on that staff. We're winning a lot of those games because of defense and an overall talent advantage, not because of any superior game preparation and management.

If you were starting a staff from scratch and had carte blanche to pick anybody from the LSU staff, who would you go with? I'd definately take Chavis, possibly Haley and maybe take a look at Wilson for running backs. I'd give Ensminger a courtesy call to possibly coach QB's, but NOT TE's. That's it. Nobody else on that staff even gets a look see. We need superior teaching coaches at Offensive Coordinator, Offensive Line, Tight End, Wide Receiver and Defensive Back. We don't have that currently. We just have highly recruited talent doing the best they can with mediocre position coaching. (Outside of Chavis, Haley and Wilson)

1. would you like to respond to my post where i called out your "Miles wins on talent" logic

so these "super sophomore" seasons you're claiming they all had.....i guess that was because they were so super talented, right? nothing to do with coaching

Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell were #1 picks

I think he was 28-21 at Ok St. Not exactly winning at the rate he is now.

look at their record the 10 years before he got there

His best season at Okst was 9-4 which would translates to 7wins in the SEC. Hey and he lost to an SEC school in the bowl game that year as well. Maybe LSU was desperate considering he came in after a 7-5 season ending with a Blowout loss to Ohio St.
