Who Do We Think We Are?

The Green Bay Packers? Oh wait. They lost to a 9-7 team at home.
USC? On probation.
Notre Dame? Forget about it.
The only team better than us was Alabama with Lord Saban and this was their year anyway. We beat them at home and got beat in the rematch. Sure, it was a poorly called game, but Miles tried the formula that worked well for him the first time. Unimaginative, but plausible.
I am sick of the negativity. Miles has won like 82% of his games in 7 years. He lost in the BSNCG. We need to cut him some slack and get over ourselves.
Do we really think that no one can possibly just be better than us? I still think that something happened prior to the game. I've been saying that since the game happened. Should Miles have played Lee? Yes. But, it is over. Move on. The man is human, but he has done a great job here.
We are getting far too entitled. That LSU team, minus one game, was one of the best teams I've ever seen. That is because of Miles as well.
USC? On probation.
Notre Dame? Forget about it.

I defended Coach Miles and fought the Gumps tooth and nail on the SEC Rant this year. I was ticked off when I would read other SEC coaches and national media spouting off, "Bama will win because of Nick Saban." And yet, there it was, on national televison in front of the entire world, Nick Saban humiliated Les Miles. Actually, Les Miles did it to himself with his refusal to take a chance to win.
Why are you just blaming the local fans? Have you not heard the national media grilling Les Miles in the last 8 days? I'm with you on Miles record to this point, but we lost all of our arguments trying to defend Miles. Jan. 9th was indefensible.

Besides, like I've said repeatedly. Losses happen. I wasn't stunned we lost to Bama. That shite was completely within the betting possibilities.
shite treatment of a player though should NOT be.

Miles problem was not with JJ or Lee. He insisted on running the ball all season long and it was working as long as special team and defense scored, gave LSU good filed position, or changed the momentum of the game. He believed in passing the ball only when LSU had good field position. He was never in a situation without any help from turnovers or special team until the last game which was too late for him to try something else.

Les Miles isn't the greatest coach there ever was but I will take him over any other coach any time because he's our coach ( and he wins 82% of his games :))
That being said - he is fallible - and proved it in excess January 9th. He tried to use the same game plan that worked in November - against Lord Saban. Come on man!

What's funny about the whole thing is, if we get rid of Miles, who is a gonna want to coach at a school where the fans aren't happy with a 13-1 season that culminated into a SEC TITLE? No one. Whom exactly would be an upgrade. There was a thread on here last might that said," what can Miles do to regain your respect ", if the winningest coach in LSU history doesn't have your respect, you don't deserve a winning program. Our fan base is becoming just like Bama. Entightled.

I swear this isn't a flame, but LSU is also on probation right now. Just FYI.

Should Miles have played Lee?
Based on Lee's past experience, here are what I see as the possible outcomes everytime Lee would have taken the snap for a passing play:
1. Sack
2. Fumble
3. Interception
4. Pick 6
5. Completion
6. Incompletion
So just from a numbers stand point, Lee would be successful 1 out of 6 times he drops back to pass.
Bur realistically, I think it is more accurate to say that Lee would have been successful 0 out of 6 times he dropped back to pass.
I am not a Lee hater, he played great this year, but those games were against opponents who could not have even competed against Bama.
If Lee would have played, I am totally confident that the score would have been a lot worse than 21 - 0. Probabaly like 35 - 0 or 42 - 0 with at least one pick 6 and at least another TD set up by a fumble to give Bama a short field.
The game is over everyone. Did it hurt? YES!!! But 2011 is done and we need to move on to 2012.
