Coach Miles vs. Meyer and Saban
Posted on 12/4/09 at 3:15 pm

I simply want to say how much I and about 400 other rabid LSU fans enjoy LSU football from as far away as Kansas City, Mo. We gather together for every game and live and die with the Tigers. Don't know if all of you Tiger fans realize the the LSU nation extends so far. All of our main concerns center around how to keep or elevate LSU football back to ELITE status. The main problem : it is obvious that Miles can get the talent necessary, but can he improve it and coach it to the status of Meyer and Saban ? Number 2, who to replace him ? Who is a coach with the proven track record to beat these two ? We could go in reverse by ridding ourselves of him. ( like Nebraska after they fired Solich after a 9-3 season) Lsu Tiger nation should simply rally around Miles and hope for the best recruits we can get. We just have to face the awful reality that we must play against the 2 best coaches in the nation every YEAR. A b****h of a postion to be in. Just want all of you great Tiger fans to know that many LSU fans exist here in KC and we are as down as you are we are not in the SEC Championship Sat. Very sad. LSU will rise again next year.

Miles isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Great point. Solich was a tremendous coach. Who's he coaching now? What's his overall record the last 5 years?

Yes we are aware of the power of cable tv...

Well-stated, all.
I think any LSU fan who thinks that LSU can, or should win the SEC West and SEC every year is kidding themselves. No, the fans should not accept second-place status, that isn't what I'm saying. I'm saying, I think the best we can hope for, with ANY good coach here (and Miles is a good, not a great coach) is to be competitive year in and year out, and have those "special" years every few years or so when the stars align, key players stay healthy through the year, and LSU has more experience at key positions like QB, than do either AL or FL. I don't think Saban or Meyer are "unbeatable" and I think they are subject to the same ebbs and flows (injuries, graduation of key players and breaking in new QBs, etc.) as any other coach. Miles has won an NC here at LSU. Heck, look at Mark Richt at GA ... last year was "his year" to win all the marbles, with Stafford and Moreno, etc., and he couldn't do it. Meyer has two NCs and may win a 3rd this year ... Mr Saban has not won ANYTHING (yet) at AL, by way of a national championship ... much as the pathetic AL fan base might want to "claim" LSU's 2003 national championship as "theirs."
I agree, support Miles and the team.

Give me a freaking break. Miles record while at LSU is of "Elite" status. Don't give me this "he won with Saban's" recruits junk. Saban is winning with Shula's recruits right now. All of his 5th yr Sr.'s, Sr.'s, and Red-shirt Jr.s are all Shula recruits. The only reason LSU fans don't like Miles is because he's not Saban. If Saban was at LSU the past 2 years with the same records nobody would be saying the program was in decline. This is really getting ridiculous.
And by the way Nebraska really tore it up after Solich was fired, they have sucked ever since. Including this year. Their division is a joke and they are going to get smoked by Texas.

They do. I'm west of you about 2 hours. The University of Kansas School of Law is one of the smaller law schools in the country, and we had two LSU alums just in my class. Welcome to the Rant. Trust me, you will hear some of the stupidest shite on this board.

so what is acceptable, a 1 win against these two every five year? Sorry, my standards are a little higher than that.

I still think he is here for a while. Both those teams will have down yrs. A team cant go undefeated yr after yr. It just doesnt work that way. Teams are not going to catch all the breaks and be injury free and have stripes on ur side week in and week out forever.

We'll see Urban's coaching prowess next yr.
No Tebow, and probably no Charlie Strong.
Just 2 yrs ago he had a 4 loss season with both of them. I suspect next yr may be rough for the Gators.

Lance, I live in KCMO, and am a big LSU fan. Where do you guys meet for the games? Do y'all do crawfish boils, or celebrate mardi gras together? KCMOTiger.

I other words we just need to accept that we are now a second tier SEC team. We are expecting too much to compete for SEC West titles year in and year out. We should be happy to be 500 in the SEC year in and year out because we win 8 or 9 games a year.
