This should be mute point now. That was 5 years ago. Since then, 3 other SEC teams have won the BCS title.

Miles got the kudos he deserved for winning that, but it's time to move on. In my opinion, the goodwill he earned from winning the 2007 BCSCG was used up when he laid a big fat egg on 1/9/12.

Yes. That is it. He burned up some good will on 1/9, maybe a lot of it. It wasn't the loss, it was the fact that LSU was never in the game and the STAFF made no attempt to adjust to what was going on. It was as though they had become the Stepford coaches. How does one explain that absolute bomb of a game plan? One can say that it is time to move on, but I do not necessarily agree given what went down, not just that night though that was the culmination, but the entire season with the QBs. To say it was bizarre would barely cover it.

Jefferson began to play in the UK game and got progressively more snaps as time went on despite showing, IMHO, nothing. Nada, nihil, zip, nothing. I look back on it and still can find no rational explanation for it.

Then, there was ZM who was supposed to be all-world. OK, fine. Why not play him some in all of those blowouts when LSU was going 13-0? Are all of you saying there was no point at all to doing so? If his attitude was bad, the coach should "adjust" it. How is it that there appears to have been no forethought to the end of the season about the QB position? No way ZM could have been developed and used in the 1/9 debacle? None? That is not the mark of brilliance.

It is relevant because opportunities for winning a NC are few and far between. His handling of the QB situation made no sense then and makes less now, seeing ZM play. There is no guarantee that this team will be in the game this year. Losing to satan is the worst thing that this team can do, IMHO.
