re: Miles defining lesson? - We can only hope.

It is not JUST because we will lose, it is the fact that he doesn't even think there is a problem.

painful. makes watching the game tortuous.

I'm a Les fan. I generally support him when he's bashed on here. I think he's the most successful coach LSU has ever had. Obviously, Saban is overall a more successful coach but he didn't enjoy the same success at LSU. The point is, despite my respect and appreciation for the man, I've come to realize that he will never change. Just couldn't believe it when they asked him if he'd consider a strategy change and he was like "well we ALMOST won like 2 or 3 times so no." That shite is beyond frustrating. Lesser power 5 teams have beaten better Bama teams than this one over the past five years.

If you think Les is going to tell the media, "yeah, we can't beat them, so we are going to change our strategy." I don't think he will change, but if he does, he's not going to announce it.

ETA: I thought the overall thought on tRant was not to listen to anything he says at a presser? Some of y'all get mad when he doesn't say what you want to hear.

Saban's defensive plan for LSU is the same plan it's been for years now and it fits on a post it note. It simply says, 1st down= run blitz, 2nd down= run blitz, 3rd down= pass blitz, 4th down= punter return team.

We were not over matched in that game.

no question we looked over matched, but i think what he was saying is if the play calling would have changed to loosen the defense up it might have looked different... But it is flat out asinine to run the same fricking thing over and over and over believing a different outcome.. That is shitting on all the hard work the players put in...

All we can do is hope that even his level of delusion and hard-headedness will be shed.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

Thanks for this. Very well put.

Saban has won as many championships l, both national and SEC, and as many BCS bowl games in his 5 years at LSU as Les has in 11 as of now.

People claiming Les' tenure has been more successful really have no concept of what winning a title means.

There's no reason Miles can't take a blue print from Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Utah and any team that has put 30+ points on the board and implement that into a game plan specifically for this game.

Wow, are you kidding? Who's gonna run that offense, the QB who changed the tide of the game by throwing an interception on the very first play of the second half? Completely missing the receiver (or throwing into double coverage, you pick) on a roll out pass to the flat that is one of the most basic passes in college football and what is generally considered a "safe" pass? That QB is going to run the kind of offense Ohio State runs?

This team is not Ole Miss (thank God!) nor Ohio State or Utah. It's built entirely different and, unfortunately, the strength of this team was matched up against the strength of Bama and Bama won the battle.
