It is just frustrating that a couple of those wins were VERY, VERY close. Luck if you will. In some, much closer than they should have been. And, in the case of a couple of the loses, should have been wins.

This past Saturday was a winnable game, period. And, Les admitted he wished he could take back some of his decisions.

That is part of my point. And you stated it...he is stubborn. Too stubborn. I get it. That is part of his style.

But when you lose a winnable game...it really hurts!!

LSU has had the talent to win big. The NC was for the taking last year. There was a real shot at it this year. At some point...you have to question the stubbornness and unwillingness to make adjustments.

For the Alabama game, he really surprised me and made some adjustments. But then got it stuck in his head that he needed to make some "Mad Hatter" calls that put the game on the line!

I'm also pissed about the bama game, and I would love to change some decisions. We all want someone to hang. A loss comes with a combination of coaching failures and players not making key plays. That's what we got Saturday night. But people need to slow down and take a breath if they think miles will never beat Saban again. Hell, I'll take LSU at Tuscaloosa next yr. neither team is scared to go on the road. I truly believe that miles coached with some doubt this last Saturday. And based on Mett and our offense through the pre-bama games, I don't blame him. I think miles will coach more straight laced next time. Not saying the hat is gone, just needs to reel it in a little. Hell, leading up to the game, we a talked about flea-flickers, Shepard-cat, Ware cat, Wing fakes, etc. miles now knows he can trust his guys to line up and punch anyone in the mouth. LSU isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. Get ready for several more years of Bowden/Spurrier, Bo/Woody, Switzer/Osborne.
