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 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.

Sure, any coach who can't win the SEC more than one in three years needs 2 go.

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.

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??

When one gets paid 3 or 4 million dollars a year, you MUST eat sleep and drink football.

You must dream about what to do in a two minute offense; you must recruit guys at the right positions; you must hire the right personell; etc or get beat, made fun of by the fans....and the media.

I don't find him to be any nicer than Coach Mack Brown of Texas and it is hard to argue with the success he has had at Texas. Same thing with Coach Carroll at USC, will not find a nicer player's coach in college football.
