The offensive Guilbeau piece that's featured on the TD front page
Posted by nycajun on 11/11/11 at 1:00 pm40
Would you guys PLEASE stop giving this clown coverage? First, he states that Stanford is in 3rd place and Alabama in 4th place in the BCS. So he can't even get his facts right. Second, in discussing the possibility of meeting Oklahoma State, Miles' former team, he says, "The man Miles made his offensive coordinator in Stillwater, Okla., — Mike Gundy — replaced Miles as head coach and took a solid program left to him by Miles and has made it better". Miles didn't just "leave it to him." Miles rebuilt it from a pitiful rubble. In stark contrast to that, he says near the end of the piece, "Miles is on the verge of capitalizing on the national championship program he inherited." Arguably, and only arguably, 2007 was Miles "capitalizing on the program he inherited." In truth, the 2007 team was Miles coached and, for the most part, Miles recruited. In 2011, it's purely his program andhas been for years.
Gilbeau's inability to refrain from taking gratuitous and indefensible digs at Miles is beyond annoying. Why help him out by linking to his atrocious excuse for writing?

What?
I thought he did that in 2007?

I agree with you 100%

If he changed this to "Miles is on the verge of turning the national championship program he inherited into a dynasty.", it would work.

Agree, even when he tries to be nice and write a favorable piece, the doucheness bleeds through.

You shouldn't defame pig excrement like that.

I haven't read Guil-blow since 2007 or so. As for the featured article, I'll get to it as soon as I finish " Touched".

I suggest you wait until you have also read War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and the complete works of Charles Dickens.

I don't understand why this site allows his articles. I really don't. The other Tiger site I visit regular doesn't refer to or post his articles. This one should not either.

Thought the same thing. I don't expect a journalist to be a "fan," he shouldn't be, but he should be better than the hack stuff that he often writes with the little digs and implied smirks he seems to frequently insert when writing.
Miles "inherited" a solid program, but, one national championship followed by a fairly mediocre season is not a "national championship program."
Would anyone describe Auburn's program as a "national championship program" just because Auburn won its first national championship since 1957? That isn't a slam at Auburn, but just making the point that the comment doesn't really fit.

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again. GG's peers feel the same way we do, so trust me, this is not just a fan base thing. He is truly a hack within the industry.

The point was not to denigrate what Saban did, but it wasn't yet a national championship program with only one season out of 5 with less than 3 losses.

Right. And to suggest that Saban's influence on the 2011 team is anything more than an interesting historical artifact is silly. Not Saban bashing. Just Guilbeau bashing. Infinitely more deserved.

What a pantload.
I am so sick of hearing about how Miles won w/ Saban's players --- but never a mention on how Saban won w/ Shula's.
Miles won in his 3rd year at LSU, Saban won in his 3rd year at Bama. In my book, that's a wash.
