Considering the talent that has come thru here in the last 10 years.....lets just say that no one is going to accuse Les of overachieving.

Ah yes "talent". No other team has "talent" but LSU. LSU should win every game because they have all the "talent".

This is probably the smartest thing I've heard you say in two days and 50 posts. I do agree with you on the misconception that LSU always has the best talent. What we disagree on is that on a level playing field with equal talent I wouldn't bet on Les Miles.

Did they teach you the difference between singular and plural nouns, or is that a recent development?

So, SEC or west championships don't matter? Spoken like a true retard.


this is rich.. you're comparing the significance of an SECW title to a NC and basically stating that they are equal???

I see this as underachieving to a degree. There is a difference.

I think you're understating it a little. Most folks outside of Louisiana would agree that we waste talent as much or more than anyone.

D.

But I wouldn't put it in those nice of terms as jack squat

That doesn't mean he's gonna go 6-6 every year either.

He can still win 8-10 games consistently, but I don't think he wins any more championships..

HOWEVER, if he changes his offensive philosophy, I believe he could be back up there in the elite category.

Unless Miles has cloned himself and turned into a plural entity, the correct possesive is LES'S!

I'm thinking maybe 1 more SECC and a playoff appearance.

I see him hanging in there 3 or 4 more years.

Where did I do that, Alabama guy? You said the only title that matters is a NC. I called BS on that retard thinking. SEC titles are a valued championship to any fan with a brain.

I guess then 99.95% of all coaches in the past ten years have underachieved according to your standards, right.

Only a tool or troll fan would look at what Les has done at LSU and come up with underachieving. But that's why you started this crappy thread so you and a couple other retards could claim Les is underachieving even though his success is unequaled at LSU.

You trolls are so easy to figure out!

A&B- Two different years. He wins a NC without winning the SEC

Winning the SEC might be tougher than winning a NC

A&B
How about E? Multiple trips to the final four with at least one title. That would be my choice.
