And you think that talent is at LSU by accident? or perhaps "manifest destiny" given the great facilities, talent base, etc.? Or actually, perhaps some of the credit should go to the coach for bringing that talent here (as not everyone before him was able to do).

And as far as Miles being out coached, there's only one game (1/9/12) where I think it can definitively be said that Miles was out coached. His teams may sometimes play down to the level of competition but with one exception they have always come ready to play up to the level of anyone, including mighty Alabama. Moreover, at LSU Miles has never lost to a team like UL Monroe, something the great Saban did in spite of the vastly superior talent possessed by Alabama (great coaching job there - so let the "Saban is the greatest coach ever" crowd explain that one).

Did I say it was an accident or that he doesn't get credit? Nope....

Sometimes? It happens far too often and the coaches, particularly the head coach, gets credit for that as well.

Anyone can play up for the challenge but I think a better challenge is getting your team ready and executing like you should against inferior opponents and that's something that hardly happens. We out talent most teams in the SEC. Obviously Miles can recruit but he couldn't coach himself out of a wet paper bag. I accept that and just try to be positive. Constantly bitching isn't going to change anything.
