1)Football is a numbers game for the offense. In 2011 when LSU played Florida, LSU used motion by the H back to help them out number the Fla defense at the point of attack. Yesterday, nothing. One example, LSU game out in a formation, TE Trips (TE and two receivers to the same side). Fla.'s SS totally disregarded the the second receiver (pre-snap) and was unblocked and stopped the tigers for a 2 yard loss. Florida had a tendency on this formation and drilled LSU for a loss.

2) If you are on defense, the FB will take you to the ball every time. No counters like Fla ran to end the game vs LSU. There is absolutely no imagination on offense. A lot of the reason that Miles has been successful was because of the uncertainty that he brought to every game. Now that he is suppose to win every game, he no longer has "LESticals"!

3) Mettenberger is catching a lot of flack because people thought he would be the savior at QB. But because Miles chose not to get him many reps in 2011, this guy comes in with hardly any playing experience. On top of this, the route combinations that LSU runs are elementary. Example, vs Auburn, LSU ran 2 bootlegs near their own endzone. There were 2 receivers on each of these plays and both were blanketed. He ended up throwing both into sidelines. Look Jamarcus Russell couldnt get out of one year in the NFL and Jimbo Fisher had him playing good football. Point being Fisher game planned the opponent,coached the QB's and called the plays. This is not happening at LSU...

Being a Saban disciple, you think Muschamp studied the national championship game. Probably mad a phone call to ol St Nick.

I will leave you with this. Second guessing a guy in your own profession, especially coaching,is almost taboo!! College football is a business. If you were CEO of a company and you should be profitting 2 Billion a year and you are only profitting 1 Billion a year...what would happen? And finally, as a coach, after a loss, you want to be able to lay your head on the pillow at night knowing that you gave your team the best chance to win. In the National Championship game,this was clearly not done. Was this done vs Fla., it is hard for me to say because of dropped passes and turnovers. There are things you can do to get defenders out of the box. Spread it out more, maybe Bubble Screens, throw it deep...who cares if its incomplete but at least you let people know that you will go deep on 1st down.

In coaching, there are different philosphies and different mindsets, thats why there are some great coaches,good coaches and bad coaches. Not sure were Les falls,buthe is making about 4.5 million a year!!

I mean every LSU fan should be frustrated so its not like I could get mad at you for that post. I agree with some of it.

But Les has started us out 5-0 I think 5 times in his tenure. We had started out 5-0 maybe 4 times IN SCHOOL HISTORY before he came here. LSU fans are spoiled. Les is who we need here and he does things right. But he definitely needs to make sure the offense gets opened up.

This is the first time since he's been here that I am genuinely mad at him as a coach. Anybody in the world can see that the offense needs to be opened up. Running on 3rd and 10 four times a game doesnt cut it. Give yourself a chance to win.

But anybody who can win the SEC with the QB's we had last year can coach and is earning his money.

Maybe Les would entertain the idea of having some lucky fan on the sidelines with him Saturday night to offer him free advice on play calling.


Two losses over a season-and-a-half stretch should NOT be tolerated~!!!!

He might have an 18/2 record but it's because of talent, not coaching. He might be 1-1 in SEC but he is 0-2 as far as being out coached. Believe me, if you get your purple and gold blinders off, and look at how many times he has been out coached you would see the big picture. I love LSU, but this coach is not getting the most out of his talent. Are you satisfied making the BCS championship? Great accomplishment, but personally, who wants to finish 2nd. No doubt during Miles tenure, the Tigers should have 2 maybe 3 national championships with the talent he has had.

It is very easy to just have tons of talent fall into your lap and win games. Coaching is so overrated when it comes to winning.

There are 124 other teams who would be chomping at the bit to finish 2nd.
