again, I don't think you get a mulligan on a screw up of that level.
That's funny.
So, the bad DC hire outweighs the National Championship in your mind?
LOL.

Yes, this trouble between the DC's and the players as well as the lack of respect by the players played out at the airport and on the trip to Ark.
Have heard a lot about that.

Not on a coordinator, and especially not on a coordinator that's not going to be a figure head, ala Saban's DC or Meyer's OC.
What about Saban's hire of Major Applewhite? Was that a screw up that was unforgiveable? Just curious since you decided to bring up the "Great One".
Oh how I wish I could be the boss of some of these perfect people on this board.

the vast majority of miles' decisions have worked, whether you agree or not. did you expect him to change dc's mid-season?? ask tommy tubs how that worked out.
these are major decisions that take time. that is why they are done way in advance of the public ever knowing about them

Miles is a very confusing study. On one hand the dismissal of RP was one of the classiest, bravest things he has done, post Katrina.
On the other hand, publicly pinning the poor performance of the team on players - offense or defense during the season vs. stepping up and taking the live rounds did not take much courage or class.
I hope that the new coaches can instill unity, discipline, and passion in addition to being good coaches.

damn guys, he made a mistake and thought hiring from within would be good for coaching morale, instead of always going out and finding a coach. I can understand that. He is fixing it. With as well as he has done at lsu he is entitled to one mistake imo.
agreed. his strength so far has been that he has chosen great assistants. ala pelini and crowton. obviously he made a mistake and he knows it. he will fix this. i think this is a strength of miles over saban. miles is not afraid to hire strong competent assistants while someone like saban wants puppets as assistants.

if nothing else, the lack of information shows that miles has control of the situation. you have to like that

One mistake? After watching those guys coach for three years, when it was obvious to everyone including Rantards, you're the exception, that Peveto couldn't coach special teams, yet he made him a DC.

skinny on the Arkansas plane situation:
Apparently there was a ton of turbulence to the point that some thought the plane was coming down. The players and coaches were freakin' out and very shook up about it.
Separately, a rumor started that the players and coaches got in a fight on the plane because someone heard raised voices on the plane (either via phone call, or via someone who was on the plane that wanted to start a rumor).

so Les should be fired??
no, but he should have a short leash, and he deserves every bit of ridicule that he gets for that hire. And he no longer gets the benefit of the doubt that so many people around here seem to want to extend to him. "Trust Miles to do the right thing" doesn't fly any more.

same thing applies. Applewhite was a terrible hire. I'm not sure that anyone knows WTF he thought he was doing there.

yes...the two DC's had them out of position which lead to poor tackling. However, it is good to know what the players thought about the whole idea.

That guy is clueless.
I don't think many people here realize how much of an accomplishment it is to win a NC.
Miles had faith in Mallory. It was a huge mistake. But in one year (less than 1 if you believe the rumors) he's making changes.
There is a huge difference between saying he deserves criticism for last year's hire and saying he should be on a short leash.
One is reasonable...the other is retarded.
