re: Guilbeau's Take On The Gonzales Hire

This guy has figured out that if he constantly criticizes LSU and/or Miles, people will read his articles. Someone on this board will read it, be outraged, and link to it. Then other people will read it and comment on what douche he is. The Miles haters will link to it, and say "see, Miles does suck." And the cycle continues. It is less sexy to make rational observations (i.e., Les has made some good hires, the clock management at Ole Miss was awful, we are recruiting well, etc.). Why say those things when you can say (1) the hires are suspicious, (2) the Ole Miss game demonstrates that Miles should be fired, and (3) we lost out on Trovon Reed.

I don't think mediocre sports writers (or journalists in general) get very far unless they say outrageous things. Guilbeau is mediocre.
