WVU is 5-1

Let's win our games tho.

Anti milesists hate the fact that wvu is winning

big east is pretty weak besides WVU. i could see them losing one more at most

its the fricking big east for crying out loud...shite...

I was saying before the game if they hadn't scheduled LSU they would have gone undefeated this year, but still wouldn't make it over Boise st. And another undefeated bcs team.

This us why getting good ooc games is tuff. They have a pretty favorable schedule except for the trip to br.

I think that 5.5 years into his LSU career, you can at least say this about him--he hasn't allowed his recruiting or his coaching staff to stagnate. When things have gone wrong, changes have come in the offseason ... eventually.

There is legitimate concern that (1) it takes too long to change problems with his staff because he's too loyal to his assistants, and (2) that he might keep Crowton in perpetuity. On the other hand, the offense has shown enough improvement so far this year to give Miles a little more slack.

_______________________________________________

I agree with most of what Doc Fenton wrote. Most times we are too hard on Miles, but the point I do not like is that he (Miles) seems too stubborn to make changes during the season. The QB issue is the most prominent. Even Ray Charles could see that a change needed to be made at QB after the 3rd game, especially when we had a viable option sitting on the bench.

Same thing now. While I appreciate keeping JJ in the games some for his running ability, the current level of performance of JL, and of the offense while JL is in, certainly calls for JL to start or at the very least have by far the majority of the snaps.

Right now, outside of clock management, which can be easily fixed and perhaps already has been, Miles stubbornness over this issue is my only complaint.

While it might not matter against McNeese, continuing to start JJ and only putting in JL when we are behind, could easily cost us a loss that is unnecessary.

I know this has not happened yet, but it certainly concerns me as we go forward to the tougher games.

Last night ESPN called them a lock for a BCS game, bc of the weak Big East

true LSU fans that see the risk he presents over the long haul and want to have more consistency in his position

please. miles presents a long term risk? let's see, he is uber successful in recruiting, has the most consistent victory totals in LSU history, wins the games he's supposed to and competitive in games even when he is suppossed to lose and has won 80% of his bowl games. he graduates players at an unprecedented rate, runs a clean program and his players stay out of trouble. believe me when i say, that is top notch. replacing miles could be and probably would be a huge mistake. call me what you want (and i'm sure you will), but if you just step back and compare miles record with ANY COACH IN AMERICA AT ANY TIME IN THE HISTORY OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL, you have to admit that we have a damn good HC. i don't care about his public speaking abilities. the long term risk is not in keeping coach miles, the risk is in letting him go. at any given time on this board, the fans fall in love with a competeing coach. mark richt is a perfect example. fans would have killed for him to be LSU's coach just 12 months ago. no matter the team had a bail bondsman of staff, mo matter he has a losing record now, etc,etc. some fans even want a coach with no HC experience; some guy named muschamp comes to mind. he's a guy that has all the talent in the world and can't stop the run. but, he's gotta be a world beater as a HC, right? frank beamer has been mentioned; yea, let's be like virginia tech! while i agree that some fans don't necessarily want miles to fail (overtly anyway) but they seem willing for anything to happen that will facilitate miles being fired. they are laying low (mostly) after the big UF win, but we are one loss away from their "i told you so" triumphant return.

Chill out man. WVU is overrated, just like all the rest of the wins on our schedule.
