Yeah, because there was not anything bigger to worry about in 2005.
Actually, that season is what sold me on Les....a new coach, a new team, a new staff and he goes 11-2 under those circumstances. I could give a shite less about "who's team" it was...it took skill and leadership to maneuver that season.
Bull. Crap.
If anything, the hype for that game, moved to a Monday night as I recall, was off the charts with all of the associated Katrina press.
The utter collapse of our defense after a good first half, the freakin evil poetry of having the secondary picked apart by freakin Rick Clausen because every defender played 20 yards off the ball. . . LSU boards were absolutely going ape.
Nick was still the beloved coach who had moved on to a greater dream, or at least had left big shoes to fill. Les was pretty much an unknown, and he was showing very small feet.
The part of you, that last remaing doubt deep down in the pit of your stomach,that still fears that Les is just an average football mind who has succeeded wildy beyond his skill set, using a combination of good recruiting, good assistants (mostly),and sold-his-soul-to-the-devil luck, that part of you was conceived on that day.
And although the regular season ended in the SECCG, we got skulldrug by GA, and there were already a handful of "Miles Moments" to chew on heading into the bowl game where we took it out on the Irish. So some bright spots.

The 3 main functions of a CFB HC is recruiting, hiring assistants and keeping program on same page.

You'll never be satisfied till 2020 or so then, Gawd bless man. Hiring a coach as successful as Miles after he retires is against the odds. Maybe things will look for you in 2030 or thereabouts.

quote:Sorry, but that "part" of me was prohibited from ever existing in Tempe, Arizona, two weeks earlier. I was there and watched one of the most exciting (though not most well-executed) football games I've ever seen, and watched an incredibly gutsy LSU team scratch out a victory against incredible odds (and a fairly decent Arizona State team). That team had all the excuses it needed to just run out of steam, but they refused to quit. That's why I laugh so hard at the absolute morons who complain about the "letdown" against Tennessee two weeks later. Anyone who had been there and seen those guys fighting in the desert would know that they gave every ounce of sweat, fight, determination and exertion humanly possible (and maybe then some) before succumbing to the complete exhaustion of the nightmare in which they'd been living for 3+ weeks.

Now, 7 years later, there's no doubt. It takes an astounding amount of stupidity to believe that anyone short of an excellent coach could achieve the things Miles has achieved here. Either stupidity, or just a pathetic emotional attachment to hating Miles for some pathetic irrational reason. Anyone with a lick of sense can see that his record irrefutably places him among the best coaches in the game at the moment, and he is knocking on the door of earning a place among some of the best of all time. He's obviously not there yet, but he is definitely knocking on the door.
