can we be realistic about coaching?

I, for the life of me, cannot understand why Les Miles left Jordan Jefferson in the National Championship game. I don't understand what could have been more wrong with J. Lee in the game. What's the difference in losing 21-0 or 35-0?
I, for the life of me, cannot understand why Les Miles left Anthony Jennings in the game . I'm not head coach, but I felt like there were multiple times when Jennings missed wide open receivers. Did the coaches not notice this?
I'm not basing my opinion on Harris' performance late in the Moo State game. I wouldn't care if he started Hunter at QB. Just try something else because what you're doing right now is not working.
With that said, I know we have sustained a powerful team for many years under Miles. But I seriously question Miles' ability to lead this team. Lining up and running against an 8 man front until the opposing team is worn down will work on teams with lesser talent and depth, but against the upper tier teams, that game plan will result in a lot of 3 and outs.
There have been numerous bone headed decisions by Miles in his tenure at LSU. People just say "That's just the mad hatter", and over look those decisions. At what point do these decisions become detrimental to the success of the team.
I feel like his conservative play call, and predictable game plan, and bone headed decisions have cost LSU several games. I'm not sure we can do better than Miles right now, but I think it's time to start testing the waters.
I have a little prediction. I think Michigan fires Brady Hoche this year. I feel like, if that position comes available, Miles takes the job.

Leslie ain't going nowhere

Miles to Michigan again? You are flashing back to when you signed on here huh?
Posted on 9/25/14 at 10:27 pm to inebr8ted tiger
I don't know if any of us can actually say that Les aint going nowhere. I hope it doesn't happen but I can almost promise any one that is a Tiger fan, if and certainly a big if , LSU finishes up anywhere between 2-6 or 0-8in the SEC this year, I can promised you that Leslie will be on the hot seat going into next year. You cant tell me that this board has said Muschamp is on the hot seat this year after his year last year that Miles wouldn't be on the hot seat going into next year if he has a terrible year. There is just too much money that is lost if this were to happen. I don't care what his buyout is. In fact a pretty good attorney could probably get LSU OUT OF THE buyout based upon incompetency of Les on some of the boneheaded decsions he has made throughout his tenure at LSU.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking. I'm ready for a change. I think Miles' best days are behind him. But I also thought Spurrier would fail at South Carolina.

Whoa, put down the crack pipe! Les isn't going anywhere, especially Michiagan! We can wish, but it aint gonna happen!

Can't wait till we hire Jim Harbaugh.

You said two really stupid things.
With seven minutes to go in the BCSCG LSU was down 15 and started driving. We got to the Bama 35 or so before it stalled. If we had punched it in there it would have been game on. It was only after the sack that ended that drive that hope was lost.
Also, you're an idiot if you think Miles is going anywhere on his on volition. And why would Michigan want a 60 year old coach? I like Miles, but Zi wouldn't hire him at this age to rebuild a program.

It's funny how most people on this site was predicting an 8-4 season and had no problem with it because of the youth of this team ....but now that we lost 1 game it's time for a new coach ....
Me , what I saw last Saturday was a very talented group of players who didn't quit when they got behind ....
Clm has been her 10 years and has done a great job and to me he has-earned the right to be giving the benefit that he will bring this team to the top ... If we are still a mediocre team in two years then it's time for a change ....

I think Miles would leave for Michigan in a heartbeat if it was offered to him. Hell, he practically took the job in 2007. I think the offer was never made to him in 2011. Miles and Michigan talked in 2011, but I think an offer never came of it.
He'd leave for Ann Arbor. It's his dream job.

Not a chance although I would not mind seeing him go to Michigan.
How will an attorney get the contract buyout waived when the dumbasses gave him the raises and extensions after most of the dumbass calls he made?

Harbaugh... yeah, but there would be a few cool names and a bunch of will muschamp's
At least his hire may keep the LA pipeline perhaps even strengthen it. But there aren't that many coaching celebrities like Les Miles and Jim Harbaugh. If we got rid of les and found a slightly better coach, it wouldn't be worth it if the coach didnt have his own brand.
Ohio St. got lucky. They hire a retired coach who ws still young enough to coach and powerful enough to recruit the South.
Michigan...... best thing they could ever accomplish is Miles cause they'd get a boost in recruitingw him.

The inability to allow a difference in personnel is based on false hope that somehow it will be okay even when you have slammed your head repeatedly into a wall.

Agreed but I think people base records on how we play as well. We could have 4 losses and get dominated and that would be shitty or lose 4 close games. See the difference? That is the reason why people are freaking out.

Oh I see .... That's why I say let the season play out ..... If we see the same type of performance throughout the season I will be bitching also .....
