Getting past the won-loss record

Many on this board, imo, defend Miles because we want to hope for the best. He is the coach so, support him or... so the thought process goes.

Then, we look at the won-loss record and based on that, it seems you have to support him. But it's not about the won-loss record. I know that sounds weird.

At times, LSU has won .... seemingly in spite of coaching decisions. I can't name games but I know there have been some. In other cases, we have just had better athletes. In other cases, we had very good fortune. Last week, we shouldn't have beaten Troy.

The thing that I see that bothers me is the constant penalties... late into the season for things like... illegal substitution, delay of game etc... Those type of penalties shouldn't happen late into the season. Miles approach to football seems to be to "out tough" everybody.

I think Miles is a good man and, hopefully, he gets this turned around but.., I'm not confident.
