An honest question for all Die-Hard LSU Fans

I love the LSU Tigers...and Coach Les Miles but I think he is way too nice of a guy with the team. I just wanted to get some opinions of the other Tiger fans.
After two years of not winning the SEC West Division nor playing in the SEC Championship game, do you feel like Coach Les Miles lost his grip on the team or would you blame it all on youth?

I blame it on Les Miles being an idiot

I think he may be too much of a nice guy but....he knows when to fix problems. I hope.

A few reasons IMO: an apparent disconnect with the team; always trying to look too poised and upbeat when sometimes you need to lose your shite; the RP bullshite; Crowton.

I want our relevance back. It's painful to watch LSU in crimson. This is what we used to do.

To honestly think we would contend the past 2 seasons for the SEC West and go to the SECCG is unrealistic. Do we have coaching issues? Yes but you have to give the coach a chance to correct the problems. If we look the same at the end of next season, then yeah, some changes need to take place.
But our coaches did not lose the bowl game and especially not on the last possession.

Nobody at LSU had any idea this mack truck of terrible coaching was going to pancake us. LM was always a bit suspect, but in his first years at LSU, it now appears he did benefit from the residual culture of excellence which was the Saban legacy. LM COULD NOT MAINTAIN IT. And it all fell apart in the 2008 season, first defensively. Then cane the 2009 offensive meltdown. Coaching issues can be corrected in a heartbeat. LM did nothing until after the season died, while Malveto ran the team into the ground in 08. Chavis came and helped, but then LM did nothing while Crowton's offensive brand of wizardry ran the team into the ground this year. I have zero confidence in LM's ability to identify the problem, and then to do anything to correct it in any given season. I am at a loss as to how it would take multiple seasons to correct "coaching issues" on the assistant level.

Dude, if our offense looks like it has the past two years, and we finish with 4 or 5 losses, which could be more given our schedule is more difficult, then the whole coaching staff should start looking for work elsewhere. I think LSU would go the Arkansas/Nutt route. Negotiate a buyout with Les for him to leave.

I could not agree more.

Having a good QB would make Les look a lot smarter.

He enjoys being a CEO head coach and depending on his co-ordinators to chew out those that need it.
As compared to Saban who just went ballistic on a 300 lb D-lineman who returned an interception for a touchdown (well, the guy did pick up an unsportsmanlike conduct call)

He does not coach the most important thing - discipline. His teams have been without discipline, committing stupid erros at the most inopportune times. Too many holding calls, too many or too few players on the field, too many yellow flags thrown, spikig the ball with 1 second left (whatever did he hope to accomplish by that). His past two teams, especially 2009's team, have been an embarassment to Tiger football's fine tradition. The results of Les not having a discipplined team have hurt us greatly. Look at your TV right now for a coach who knows how to coach a winning team. I do not mean he is a nice man, maybe not as nice as Les, but a winner. What do you want - a daddy or a winner??
