So let me get this straight. If you support Miles, and think he's a great coach and wonderful man, you are intelligent and mature.

If you think Miles is not very good, and believe he was successful for inheriting a gold mine, this makes you a kid?

let me try to dumb it down for you......since ALL of the recruits on the LSU team are currently recruits of Les Miles, that makes it solely his team. Since he is currently 16-4 over the past two regular seasons and a realistic chance at going 20-4 compared to the best two years of saban at 20-3........despite all the criticism of these two years.....I think yes that takes some intelligence to step back and say wait....we are criticizing a guy that very well may equal the best two years of a god...how is that bad? But, young kids or even older people with no wisdom, reasoning ability, intelligence, can't quite compute that in their heads...in their minds, miles sucks, and thier belief is who cares about wins/losses....they want shiny rims on their cars.

04 was 9-3, NR @16, played in the Capital One bowl, got beat by 4 TDs by Ga who didn't even make it to the SEC title game, finished 4th in the SEC, and was effectively out of contention for the West in the 1st week of Oct by virture of being 3 games behind Auburn at that time equates to "inheriting a gold mine" to you???

Not saying Miles didn't take over a good team, but lets recall our 04 season for what it was...solid but hardly elite or great.

Hell, some here see a 9-3 regular season , a Capital One bowl bid, a 3rd place in the SEC, and a NR of 17 as "mediocre", but almost the exact same results in 04 are seem by some as gold mine like.
