Losing the BCSCS 2012 might be the least of LSU football problems in 2012.

1. The players and Miles are in some obvious state of conflict. At the very least, he has lost players motivation - this is evidenced by the underclassmen's desire to leave.
2. Miles is obviously apathetic to how his fanbase feels at all. He went from arrogantly dismissing a caller on his show, saying that he's the head coach and he does what he wants - to simply bringing his post bowl game press conference (last Monday) to a screeching halt when asked the same question by the media (after his decision blew up in his face).
3. Miles has admitted no fault at all. Some might not think this is a bad thing - but how would you expect this team to improve - when it looks like the 77% RUN won't even be addressed by a coach is supposedly runs a balanced system? How will he get the players back on board?
4. The Miles DOG HOUSE phenomonon is clearly a real thing. This can and will cause problems in the future when LSU's best talent might not play because Les Miles ego is the size of Texas.
5. Next year's team could end up very similiar to Florida from a couple years ago. Starting off with high expectations but burnout from the coach and issues with the players can lead to something very bad.


I've never seen the end of a season end like this. We can debate on all the reasons some have lost hope - but many of us have lost hope. Watching the coach be as stubborn as he was during the BCSNC game will kill a fanbase and his players emotionally. I fear this team might be apathetic next year.
