Les Miles is a GREAT Coach

Losing RP was bigger than anyone could imagine and it was the right decision made by Les. We basically lost our starting QB for the year, but have performed well considering.
I have been upset with the defense this year and feel like the Co-DC thing was not the best decision. But, I thought that the coaching yesterday by Coach Miles and staff was right on target. The defense played great. He couldn't pull Lee. The upside was too high and Jefferson was going to be redshirted just a few weeks ago. JJ wasn't even in the mix until Hatch got hurt and was our 3rd string QB as a TRUE FRESHMAN.
Think about this: When Coach Miles cut Ryan Perriloux, he knew what was behind him. Yet, he did it anyway for the sake of the program. Few coaches with a top 5 team would have done that. If he had kept RP, LSU would likely be 8-1 right now and would be in the top 5 and in serious discussion for a return to the BCS Title game. Instead, he does the right thing. I respect that.
He's won over 80% of his games and is bringing in top recruiting classes. Tiger fans might not realize this, but Miles gained a lot of credibility after that game yesterday. If USC or Texas had lost Sanchez or McCoy, everyone would be making excuses. Could you imagine Georgia's record without Stafford? They've lost TWO games with him and they were the #1 team in the country. They should have lost to us and Kentucky giving them 4 LOSSES after starting the season #1. When will Richt receive criticism? Losing Perriloux was HUGE and it cannot be underestimated. Despite not being consistent on offense, we have also put our defense in bad situations all year.
Have patience, guys. We will rebound.

He is a great guy and WAS doing a great job getting great coaches around him. He failed at that part this year. He is not a great coach. above average but not great.

Also, enough with RP. That shite for brains would not have made it past half the year if Miles had kept him thus making it much much worse. Miles should have kicked that dumbass off the team a long time ago.

I think Miles is the McCain/Palin of coaches. I don't agree with his decisions all of the time but by gosh he's a maverick.
I think he was 100% right in the way he handled RP. That was a solid non-mavericky decision.

thats all i'm going to read too
But you cann't say he is a great coach
I'll go on a limb and say he is good enough i guess

If he was such a great coach, he would be getting with Crowton and helping create a more vanilla offense for the time being. We have so many playmakers and all we have to do is get it in their hands, rather it be reverses, screens, whatever. Instead we are running deep balls and stupid deep slants. He should also be lighting a fire under our DC's through the media. Throw those guys under the bus, dont say they are doing a good job. They arent. Our tackling is terrible and our covering before Sat was just as bad.
The ENTIRE staff is doing a piss poor job this year.

He stood there yesterday and gave Nick Saban and his #1 team everything they could handle despite not having a reliable QB. I can't imagine how we stayed in that game and took it to OT but I credit the coaching.
Les Miles proved a lot yesterday. Even in loss, I felt there were many positives.

He is the best coach we have ever had.
Highest winning %
Best Bowl Record 3-0
NC in third year
The problem for a lot of fair weather fans is we can't win the NC every year, so this year is a disappointment to them. Even though we knew before the season started that we would not be in the running for the NC this year. I can remember when we were happy to get an invite to Shreveport to play Norte Dame.

Let me first say I like Coach Miles, however IMO Coach Miles did cave into the anti-RP frenzy.
