re: No Win Situation

Miles is in a no win situation. If he wins, well, he should have won. We have superior talent, we're higher ranked, we are favored, etc. The best outcome for Miles is neutral.

If we lose, on the other hand, it will all fall at Miles feet. If anything - anything - happens that is reminiscent of the Mississippi Meltdown all hell will break lose. Again.

Weighing heavily against Miles and LSU today is that he must change his entire coaching philosophy. His overriding objective today is DON'T SCREW UP. This is 180 degrees against his characteristic "roll the dice" philosophy. He will be tighter than Dick's hatband, and it will show itself.

Miles is in an impossible situation. He will have to coach completely against his nature and have a perfect outcome. And if he achieves that outcome he will get precious little credit.

He's screwed, and so are we.

And he did it to himself and all by himself. That lucky horse shoe finally fell out on the ground. Miles has been exposed. The emperor has no clothes.
