He is not an elite coach.

How many times do we have to go through this shite?

He has an in game flaw and an administrative flaw.

His in game flaw is that he comes into a game, any game, with one plan and it either works or it does not. Whether it works or not does not seem to influence his game plan. He rides his offensive game plan to the ground and would rather lose than adjust it.

Administratively, he is much more pathetic. He is going on how many years without a real offensive coordinator? He commands a perennial top five program and can anyone explain why we don't have a real OC?

How crazy is that?

We need to demand excellence and not just pay a big salary. There are good coaches out there. Saban is not the only one. Les is good, but he can't cut it.

real oc or not stud is way below what LSU should have for a oc. we demand a top notch dc so we should do the same for the offensive side of the ball

Bowling Green or wherever Stud was. This qualifies you to run an SEC offense against the best defenses in the country. Krags is more qualified. Problem is not all these guys fault. There is obvious meddling going on by Miles.

I agree. I'm just trying to understand how an OC who's held an OC position before at the FBS level isn't a real OC?

But, but, but 10 wins. Remember the 90's. 85 & whatever,. We almost beat bama. We almost won the west. And somewhere, a person just died "almost" getting an organ transplant.

I agree with your post, but I've no idea why you think Mile$ is a "great guy" and I've no idea why so many posters feel compelled to say this.

I don't know that Le$ is not a decent guy but I also know nothing about him as a person, which makes me like 99 percent of the other people who post on TD.

I've seen Mile$ lie to the press and fans, I've seen him leverage the shite out of faux media interest by other schools in order to raise his pay and I've never seen his players (current or past) rally to his defense, much less to support him.

Aside from the obligatory head coach trips to childrens' hospitals and the heartwarming PR stories about his family, what exactly makes Le$ a "great guy" versus just a "guy?"

Your selective memory and revisionist history is terrible to say the least.

I agree. I don't think he is a great guy and actually think he is more of a douche.

I'd love to know how you feel about Mack Brown, Bobby Petrino, or Tubberville...

How is he a "douche"?

Lsu possibly has the biggest collection of pussies like GAbluedog in the fanbase than any other program in the country.

These fricking morons love tearing down the program they claim to support. The fan base needs a cleansing. Hopefully we lose the assholes like this guy.

I think he's an elite coach. I do.

However, his loyalty to his staff is one of his worst flaws. That and being stubborn, which may be one in the same.

It took him forever to get rid of Crowton and Crowton left because he was going to be fired in the end, if I remember right.

Sort of the same thing here. Miles brings in Krags to be the OC, he has to step down because of health reasons. So Stud is promoted to that internally, rather than looking for a proven OC. On top of that, you have the same play calling since '08.

He is very smart (I know, I know, wait for it) but I don't understand why that OC light doesn't come on, especially after 5 years of the same stuff. I've met him several times and he's very smart, just from the way he talks (when not on camera) but even he would have to admit, when given all the stats after the last 5 years, that the offense isn't where it should be.

It came on for the defense and he got Chavis.

I mean,

I don't know enough about Brown to render an opinion.

Petrino and Tuberville are also douches...without a doubt.

I agree and I think he is the best coach for LSU.

He sounds and acts like a jerk. He is stubborn and arrogant.

I love LSU. You love Les. I think poor coaching by Les cost us a bowl win the other night. I also think poor coaching by Les cost us a NC. I criticise him for this. You feel the need to defend him at all costs.

I look forward to the day when Miles leaves simply because I think you and the rest of your Les pumping ilk will also leave. Because the fact is you are more of a Les fan than you are an LSU fan.

LOL what? Terrible game manager, yes.

Sounds like you don't know what arrogance actually is and have a very selective memory and revisionist history of his time at LSU to support your view.
