Oh and one more thing...I am tired of playing to the level of our competition! I want to crush the weaker teams and make the bigger teams pay for every mistake they make on the field.
I know we cant play to our potential every game because of injuries and etc but it sure would be nice to dominate some teams again.

Losing to teams like Ole Miss and Arkansas

Can you name some coaches you would prefer? To me the expectations at LSU are a mile high but Coach Miles seems to only 5,279 feet of ability.
It had been a long time since LSU had won a NC before Saban. Now he looks poised to it with another school. There aren't very many coaches of his caliber available, so who do you think can get LSU back to what you/LSU fans find acceptable? Would said coach leave his current job?
He's possibly the best coach in the game now and it was him who helped LSU earn, in reality, 2 NCs. Who can match him and come to BR?

I am tired of Les saying he has the "want" to run the ball and then when we a running it and running it well, he decides to pull the plug such as the beginning of the Ole Miss game! WTF??

Been lurking around for awhile and just thought I would join. Great site.
I find this original post interesting because 90% of the things in there are what Tennessee fans hated about Fulmer.
The SEC has changed significantly in the past 5 years. Mark Richt is the longest tenured coach (when I thought about that, it was shocking). If you can't change, adapt, and improve, you will be left behind a lot faster now.
Ive always liked LSU but I don't think it is time to panic.

Great first post. Welcome to the Rant...
Speed kills! As you said, speed of change and ability to adapt to the change in CFB (especially SEC) is paramount.
Speed is also important in other areas: physical ability of players, game-time cerebral reactions of players/coaches, speed of adjusting to the other player's/team's adjustments, etc.....
Conversely, lack of speed also "kills". You got my drift. If a player/team/coach can't adjust to the other team's speed, all is lost. You lose...
I think LSU is still an elite program. This includes players, coaches, administration, et. al. We (LSU) do need to adapt, and I think we will. Kudos, Chavis. It could be a lot worse than having Les Miles as the coach.
I would like to see Miles add a sideline assistant totally in charge of keeping track of time (game clock, play clock, timeouts remaining, etc.) - said assistant would immediately notify Miles of any gravity of the game time situation if warranted. This was missing in our recent loss. The right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing.....
On topic, I am tired of Miles' double-speak. If you say you are going to try to give Shepard 10-15 touches a game, then do it... BTW, this dual-threat dude does know how to pass. I know this is not original, but just when will his passing ability (many times greater than McCluster's passing ability) be utilized?????

I dont care if Les beats Arkansas 100-0, its time for him to go.
If we win 100-0, wouldn't Les have done all the above??

Things I am tired of Les doing
- Playing seniority over talent
- sitting on a lead and getting conservative
- inability to make adjustments midgame
- use timouts when needed
- wasting time outs
- only having our team prepared for bowl games
- setting a record for career illegal formations
- benching the hot hand
- press conferences
- waiting till the offseason to fix problems
- losing to bama and florida
- patting players on the butt after penalties
- Not instilling a killer instinct in our players
- having the want to win but not the ability
- RUNNING THE OPTION
The point I am trying to make is that Les Miles is not the guy LSU needs. These things I am listed are not problems that started since the Ole Miss game but rather go back to his very first game at home against Tenn 2005.
Les is a good guy that can recruit with the best but thats it. We need a coach who can recruit, lead, coach, prepare and develop players.
I dont care if Les beats Arkansas 100-0, its time for him to go.
As they say..."les is more"......unfortunately more of the same. Your list is a good start!

Hiring recruiters that can't coach their way out of a paper bag.
See Porter, Lane, Studs, Peveto, etc.

I know that, but I'd rather a coach that can coach players up than one that can't develop them and actually makes them regress over their time here.
Posted on 11/26/09 at 1:47 am to LittleDTO
picking his nose, too lazy for the oic. somebody help me. les miles [regardless of everything] will be more talked about than any other coach at lsu. Saban will be a spec in Mile's shoe.
