I'm sorry -- the guy is a great guy, but his in game/while the action's happenin' brain capacity efficiency rating is maybe 65% of what other top coaches' brain capacities are. The guy can recruit through the roof, but when the heat is on, the neurons seem to start misfiring, which carries over into 143% incoherent post game remarks. Examples of the lights dimming include Ole Piss end game, Jo Pa end game, U-Thug 1st year end game, AU '07 [though he got lucky] end game, and the list goes on and on.

Thoughts?

He has issues at the end of halfs and really hasn't gotten any better over the year. At the same time, don't list AU 07 or PSU this year as examples.

sowwy -- livin' it up on Brightside with a P&G flag in the yard. Just prefer something closer to Cartman than Kenny.

If you aren't a Bama Troll, then you must be one of their usefull fools spouting their anti-Miles trashing campaign.

It doesn't really matter. You are doing a disservice to LSU football.

Miles is basically George W. Bush.

He's a likable guy who is in over his head, has difficulty with the English language, and isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

He also surrounds himself with bad help (Crowton/Michael Brown).

You're a disservice to the notion that alleged intelligence resides in human brains. Take off the P&G glasses and assess objectively.

George W. Bush is not the most articulate politician, but he was smart enough to surround himself with highly qualified experts.

Les Miles is smart enough to get highly qualified coaches

You don't have to be highly articulate to be smart. Some people studder when they talk, but that is not a sign of stupidity.

Miles is not good at small talk for post game or halftime tidbits, but that doesn't prove he isn't a good football coach.

Being a good head coach has more to do with managing people, talent evaluation, attracting and staffing a coaching staff and cultivating the well heeled alumni.

Coordinator and assistant coaches have more to do with actual teaching and coaching.

As long as Miles keeps our recruiting classes at the 3.5+ star rated level and fields competitive teams on average and wins conference championships with veteran lead teams, he is doing a good job in my opinion.

South Carolina fake field goal, the comeback against Florida, the 4-1 bowl record with 4 blowouts...every coach has good and bad games.

As for the UT game in 05, do you remember what else was happening in this state at that time? I think he gets a pass. On top of that --- HE WON THE NEXT TEN GAMES WITH NO BYE WEEK.

This is why we call you negatigers --- only look at the bad not the good.

Stuttering is due to nervousness which paralyzes the vocal cords, which can be cured with proper treatment.

Public speaking makes a lot of very intelligent people very nervous, and smooth talking articulate people can sound as if they are experts but prove to be very incompetent as an expert.

As evidenced by his decision to retain the coordinator of an offense in the bottom 10 in the country and the absolute worst of the SEC. Statistically, 0-8 Vandy got more out of their fricking offense than we did.

He got Malveto out of here and got a DC that put our team in a position each and every game we played. His decision to retain Crowton and not go get another OC will probably mean the end of both of them if the offense is near as inept next season.

Winning wouldn't hurt either.

It's Miles staff. Seeing as very few position groups are playing up to their potential, that doesn't say much for his ability to gauge coaching talent.

Speach therapy first; organization enhancing courses and plenty of scrabble to unrattle his brain. Or maybe he should learn how to play chess? LSU doesn't need an overpaid CEO, we need a qualified Div. 1 BCS coach.

Did we run a fake play on offense this year? One?

We'll fake punt you in a bowl game up 35, but we're apparently too scared to try one on offense nowadays. We must have missed the Lesticle cancer/removal annoucement.

I'm sure in Crowton's mind Shep throwing is the epitome of trickiness. Oh well, there's always NCAA.
