Good Lord, why are people so sensitive to criticism?
i get that some criticism is a little overboard and extremely stupid.

but some here act like any questioning or criticism of miles is unwarranted, which I don't get at all.

besides, its a damn message board, it's made for people to rant and rabble.

Not preparing the QBs since spring to audible out of stacked boxes deserves criticism.


SEC teams know that jennings and harris aren't allowed to do this. the only audible they are allowed to call is run up the middle

There are like 2-3 people like this on this board (Choctaw, BeeFense, etc.) Miles and co. clearly deserve heat for how things have gone thus far and the vast majority of people on here (myself included) welcome concrete, rational criticism of coaches, and to a lesser extent, the players.

It feels like half the people throwing out criticism are aiming it at people deemed to be "pumpers" and not at the coaches and players, where it belongs. It's childish and stupid.

What the hell is wrong with our defensive front 7? Why are we allergic to tackling? Why is our O-line fricking putrid? These are questions that must be asked and problems that need to be addressed if we want to be vaguely relevant going forward.

saban likes to win with a stout defense and running game. and he does. so what's the problem? how is this a story?

Les Miles does too, but our fans can't seem to understand...

You just refuse to allow Miles to be on the hook for any of it.

so what is legitimate and what's not?

I get it, people say stupid shite on here, I'm definitely a culprit of that.

but even legit critiques are met with angry furor from Miles defenders who say that if the person criticizing has never coached or played football, then they shouldn't be saying a word.

that's pretty ignorant.

that's like saying a person who has never held public office shouldn't be criticizing the president.

Earlier this year tweeted about how Miles needs to let loose and trust his young 5 stars to make plays (LF and Dupre)

Patrick Peterson


At the end of half one vs Auburn where we failed to get a FG, he tweeted something like "Clock Management!!!!!" - clearly a shot at Miles ability in that regard. (He was on the team for the Ole Miss debacle.)

And it couldn't possibly be because the QB just trust Cooper more and looks to get him the ball whenever possible causing him fail spreading the ball around to keep the defense honest.

i'd never say this...my brother says this to me because he played LB 30 years ago for a small Catholic high school in Alexandria and thinks he knows everything and anything about football. he's the biggest Sabanista/Miles hater i know and would rather LSU lose and be proven right than have Miles win. and im serious.

i could swear he was more upset that bama lost saturday than LSU

unfortunately, there are some like that, sure.

I obviously want success for LSU, and therefore Miles. But, the myriad of issues that keep popping up from this season have to come into question the evaluation and coaching abilities of not only miles, but the entire staff. He's the CEO - he's there to take the heat. But some just try to deflect blame from him wherever they can.

This year, youth is an issue, I agree. But that doesn't excuse everything. Tackling, miscommunication (from vets, no less), straight up horrible fundamental and technical errors...all youth related? I'd say coaching is a big factor in that.

Oh the OL? If your vets are making seriously fundamental and technical errors there, then i'd say we got major problems....which we do.
