Why is questioning the staff considered "not supporting the tigers"?

I see this a lot from the pumpers and I don't really understand. Y'all act like we just hate the team, but the reality is that we actually care enough to want something different for both the fans and the players. I'm not boycotting the game or wishing for a L, so saying I and we don't support the team is a little foolish IMO.

I've never seen anyone say this.

Its the people actively rooting for failure that gets this treatment.

Stop being the victim. Stating flatly that they do not support the team because they think that will get them what they want is what people consider not supporting the team.

Questioning and bashing is two different things.

this again?

you will never understand. never. there is a big difference between "questioning the staff" and belittling them.

and much of this board has grown tired of the same old ranters, like corporal Bengal, that finally have admitted to hating miles the day he stepped on campus. this and those that are horny for nick saban. and lastly, they denigrate any poster that challenges them and call them stupid, immature, juvenile names. I guess they learned this behavior from republican office seekers.

Every fan is questioning the staff. Some fans are acting like petulant children with unrealistic, delusional expectations communicated through a vitriol usually reserved for a right wingers hatred of Obama.

Our fan base sucks. Bunch of assholes

Nobody says that. Question the staff all you want. But actively hoping for failure and shitting on anything positive gets old.

You're building a strawman here.

They are so dumb

Wanting a new direction for the program and wanting better for the players does not equal a "fake" fan.

Question all you want. Have at it.

Demanding he be fired this week is the issue.

Let the damn season play out. That's the issue for me.

There's plenty to criticize, but the morons that act like LSU has been a dumpster fire under Miles (regardless of the timeframe) is what drives me nuts.

Fans can want their coach to go and love their team as much as the ones that don't.

My point is that I don't need grandpa to tell me to quit criticizing and start supporting. IMO, criticizing shows my support more than not.

Yep. Its because Les is their faux-dad or brother from another mother. They've never met the guy, but they call him "family".

He's a professional, just like anyone else in the world, and everyone is subject to criticism pertaining to their job performance, and Les most of all should receive criticism because his job receives high compensation, and people invest a lot into LSU football.


Its been stated more than once, but for most of those that go the personal attack route because you criticize Les' football acumen its this:

1. Les Miles
2. LSU

It hasn't. Can you point towards or link where this was being said? I know pumpers like to exaggerate anything negas say.

"Lets pass for more balance" ---> "OH YOU WANT TO PASS IT 40 TIMES A GAME FOR 600 YARDS AND BE LIKE TEXAS TECH AND TCU?????? "


"I think Les Miles could have managed the game better"--> "OH WHAT, YOU THINK YOU CAN COACH BETTER THAN HIM? GREATEST COACH OF ALL-TIME AT LSU"


"Les Miles seems very resistant to change and implementing more offensive ingenuity, and I think based on the results of the past 4 years and his age/time he's been at LSU, it looks like its time to go in a new direction" ---> "OH YOU'RE ABUSIVE AND SLANDEROUS, AND A MIND RAPIST, AND SHOULD BE PUT IN PRISON BECAUSE FAMILY MAN RABBLEE RABBLE, AND ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT HATES LSU 100%, WITHOUT A DOUBT"
