Read article from oregonlive.com basically styling on Les Miles... LINK

I cant wait for this game to start...and I pray this post aint GERMANS

quote:

All you need to know about the divergent reputations of Chip Kelly and Les Miles is captured in two new promotional ads for ESPN’s College GameDay. In about two seconds, Kelly decodes one of those complicated posters the Ducks use to signal plays. Miles eats grass. That’s the matchup Saturday, when Oregon meets LSU: The football savant vs. the Mad Hatter. Unfair, yes. Miles is the 10-year veteran with the national championship. In only two years, Kelly has already gotten close, but he’s still looking for a landmark nonconference win. But caricatures cling. Chip is a calculating genius wearing a visor that inspires fan mimicry. Les is a lucky doofus wearing a too-tight hat that invites ridicule. Truth lies between.

Both made it to a national championship game. One won, the other lost. The loser is trashing the winner. Go figure.

Anytime fans trash Miles and call him retarded, doofus, etc. I just ask them how it felt for their team to be beat by the team with Simple Jack at the helm. That usually shuts them up.

I mean bc if Miles is retarded and a doofus, what does that say about their coach?

You don't understand context do you? The comment is a fair assessment of how both coaches are viewed. The article doesn't denigrate Miles at all.

I think most sports reporters know more about pop culture than they do actual sports.

How can you not love the guy? Especially since all he does is win, a bunch. But never mind the national championship or 62 wins in six seasons, LSU fans can’t quite wrap their arms around Miles. Or maybe it’s their minds.

Oregon fans are certain the Ducks are better-coached, every week. That Kelly is thinking circles around his counterparts.

LSU fans don’t know what Miles is thinking. They want you to “Fear the Hat” — but they do, too. If you’re Kelly, studying LSU is difficult. How do you coach against crazy?

Miles can coach, but there’s no good explanation for the recurring bouts of goofy. Or why they usually work out in LSU’s favor.


I mean, it's slightly degrading, but most of our fans would agree with everything said here.

In other words, Kelly isn't a calculating genius and Les isn't a lucky doofus. They are caricatures. The truth lies in between.

And the truth is, none of this talk matters. What matter is what LSU does on the field tomorrow night.
