re: Coach Miles vs. Meyer and Saban

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.

I think everyone agrees on this,
except, WE ARE NOT playing at the competitive level we should be with the classes we have had...
our TALENT is not being developed accordingly

They are used to claiming titles they didn't win. Like 5 of the 12 they claim along with about 30 other teams. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Icongeauxtigers.png)
