that people can hate Les Miles and still be strong Tiger fans? I dont like the guy. I dont think he is a good coach. But I do support the Tigers! Why do I have to be called a "nega-tiger"? There are many coaches out there that I have liked and many I have not liked. For example, John Brady, never liked him but still went to the games and supported the teams. Dont understand why people have to be labeled that way for questioning the coach and his decisions. Just sayin.

Seriously, what more could you possibly want from this man? He is a winner. Deal with it.

On behalf of RealiTigers everywhere....you can be critical of the coaching and execution of the players and still be tremendous Tiger fans....

you can criticize your kids and their choices and still love them with all your heart..

Do you want Miles to succeed or not ?

If you do. That means he stays here.

If you don't want him to stay, that means you do not want him or LSU succeed.

That means you suck.

A terrible coach doesn't win 10 games with mediocre QB's. LSU will beat ULM and Ole Miss. Arkansas is going to be tough.

Yeah, yeah, I know. He's the one that put the team in that predicament, but he's also the coach that put the team in the position to overcome that downfall.

I don't understand this. He is a good coach. What other LSU coach has been better? The only weakness he MAY have SEEMS to be the lack of developing QBs, but that is just assumption on everyone's part. Has LSU ever had a better 5 year stretch?

Basically because you are putting YOURSELF ahead of LSU. You are a selfish child.
Miles is winning in ways that mystify you. Miles is winning his way and you can't understand it. All you know is that LSU isn't putting up big numbers so you can brag. All you know is that Miles makes mistakes and you, ever perfect, never makes a mistake. You have almost no knowlege of how a football team works and that ignorance frightens you.

You are tied up in how YOU want LSU to win and can't appreciate the fact that LSU is winning.

in logic, it's called basing an argument on/with a faulty premise.

in these people's minds, criticizing the coach is equal to hating the team.

when you start there, there can be no other conclusion anytime someone speaks a disparaging word about miles.

no rational explanations or thoughts will ever dissuade them, because, logically, they cannot reach any other conclusion.

until they are ready to examine their premise, no arguments to the contrary will go anywhere.
