Whose at fault for a loss, Coach's or Player's? Think hard on this

Coaches can call a play and the players not run it right, they lose.
Players run the play called right, but it is the wrong play, they lose.
Players run the play wrong with it being the wrong play, they lose.
Miss read of the defense by the offense, they lose.
Coaches and players miss-manage the clock, they lose.
Coaches call a play and the player change the play called to the wrong play, they lose.
Coaches make a call and the players do not change the play called after reading the defense, they lose.
The Coaches do not call a timeout to help the players make the right call, they lose.

Did I miss any? If so you get the picture. Sometimes it comes down to the other team making the right adjustments and no matter how good or bad a team is any team can beat any team on any given day. This is why you can not make justments on one individual for a lose because there are too many variables that can come into play to cause a team to win or lose. You take the record as a whole to evaluate a Coach or a team on their performance. There are teams no matter how good or how bad they are a Coach just does not have any luck at all against them. No matter how hard they try and how good they are they just can not beat a given team and that is the way it is. You can look out across history of College football and see these things.

But, still we want to sit in our houses or in the bleachers and say, if we only had a better Coach or if we only had a better QB, or better yet a better intire team we would have won this or that game. It is because of all this kind of thinking fan bases have different opinions on Coaches or certain players on why a given team wins or loses and sometimes it just comes down to the other team just happens to be better or worse whatever the surcomstance maybe.

I would like to win every game every year but it just does not happen. Over time the loses catches up with the wins even though there might be more wins than loses or more loses than wins. Then that is the time to make or not make a change.

If you look at Les Miles record as a whole you will see that He is the winningst Coach LSU has ever had and if you decide to do away with him there is no other Coach in all of College football going to come in here and take his place. No one is perfect, no one is going to win every game.

Think back when Nick Saban came to LSU what took place. I will even put Gerry Dinardo in this also. They won certain games at the right time and everyone was proclaiming them as the savior to our program, but what happened to both them. One of them eventually did not win enough to stay and the other won too many and had to leave.

This is what happens when you do not search for the best overall fit for our program and this is why I believe we have the one that can be here until he retires. I remember Charlie Mac and how everyone wanted him gone after 1974 and the year of the vear with Carl Ottis Tremble at QB. He was here 18 years and retired after 1978 season and he never did what Les Miles has done since he has been here and that is win an NC.

In other words quit your bitchin' and enjoy the ride while it lasts it may never come back this way again.
