He lost 4 games in 2000, 5 games in 2002 and 3 in 2004. Coach Miles has lost 7 his whole career at LSU(which is only 2 more than Saban lost in one season).

You people think so highly of Saban and you question Miles but you just remember the fact that he won the NC and you think it was his players that won it last year. You cant handle one loss how did you handle 2002 when your dream man lost 5?

Fire Saban- this guy can't cut it, he will never win anything here, he is a midwest guy, a boy among men in the SEC

I take it you are young, don't remember the 90's. Yesterday for the first time since NS took over, I saw an LSU team out of place, lost on the field, dropping hordes of passes, missing tackle after tackle, then have the nerve to trash talk in the fourth quarter. This team has too much talent to lose a game by 30, to anyone. A loss would be fairly easy to take, watching your team return to the painful 90's is not. I pray for improvement next week. Don't even care if we win, just start getting their act together. We are making mediocre offenses look super human.

Meyer's winning with Zook's players!

Meyer won the nat'l championship 2 years after Zook left and they said he did a tremendous job. Miles wins it 3 years after Saban and they want to give the trophy to Saban.

We need to quit this whole "Miles is winning with Saban's players" crap and give him the respect he deserves.

Miles is better over all then Saban is IMO. That won't be the case if he decides to keep this defense as is, over the next 9 months or so.

Show me a LSU team that didnt have talent? Even Curley had talent that could have been worked with, he was just horrible. Saban lost five his third year as HC. He had two classes in which he recruited under his belt so dont give me this BS.

This shite pissed me off, too. Miles better be running some guys tomorrow for this shite. It's got to stop. I don't care for it when we're kicking arse, but I sure as hell don't want to see it when we're getting our arse kicked.

Les Miles is a great coach. Don't let one game get under your skin. I believe we can learn a lot from this loss. Geaux Tigers!

Don't forget that we won on the Bluegrass Miracle that year. It could have been worse.

It's 1993 and I'm sitting in Tiger Stadium with a free student ticket courtesy of LSU Dental School. The stadium has about 30,000 empty seats. Tumbleweeds are blowing across the field. Curley is stalking the sideline. Last night is far from the worst it can get is what I guess I'm trying to say.

head firmly in sand, Kid. We are ranked 52nd nationally in total defense. we have played ONE decent offensive team. I will turn this quickly, if you are not worried, you are not a fan, or you know squat about football. I hope like hell the staff turns this. We have 5 days to salvage a possible SEC CCG appearance. If we don't win, let's show some fire, intensity and improvement. Just some improvement, we have been getting worse not better. This team quit in the fourth quarter and I have never seen an LSU team quit.

SIMPLE! Saban was judged by the Hallman and Dinardo standard. Expectations were not as high. When Miles came in the cupboard was full of excellent athletes who knew their assignments. Miles was judged against the Saban standard which was pretty high. Miles did well. Now he is being judged not only by Saban's standard but his own standard of a National Championship. That is unreasonable expectations. However, this team is under performing, IMO.

I said that Saban was a mediocre coach, money grubbing whore, unimaginatively duplicitous, utterly disloyal, unappreciative, and luckier than a shite house mouse when LSU won the BCSNCG in 2003.

I used to post under a different handle and my first was in 2002, after Frank Beamer had made a fool of Saban. Basically I said all the above, except the part about the BCSNCG which LSU had yet to play.

I'll take Les Miles over an arse wipe like Nick Saban any day.
