Saban lost minimum 3 games per year, except for 03 season. Most of these dumb fricks still hail him as the greatest we ever had..

No. I remember sitting in the stands watching us lose to Arkansas, believing that by all logic, we were done. Flukes of mathematics =/= brilliant coaching.
So Saban can sneak into the back door twice in 2 years, but Miles is a dufus for doing it once?

stevan ridley is making money playing for one of the best franchises in nfl history.

Louisiana doesn't produce high profile qb's and the running backs it does produce are big, bruising power backs.
ETA: forgot about Warrick Dunn. may as well include Travis Minor too.

Sometimes, that's the hand you're dealt, sometimes not, but Miles clearly prefers it that way. As a result, LSU's offense is a perennial joke. That's the point. It's not the hand he's dealt. He wants it this way.
I get the point here. But is it even necessary to have a "superstar" to see success, or is it more desirable to have a solid team?
At least he now has QB's with pro prospects. Trust me. That's important. Otherwise, you get JJ and that farce of a CG.

It's really easy to watch another team and start posting on their message boards

In all seriousness, you should pull for another team.
It's legit to feel that way. Smash mouth isn't entertaining for everyone, but that's what LSU is offensively. LSU will be that for a long time. Miles isn't going anywhere and even after he's gone we'll still be smash mouth for another 2-3 years.
You're perfectly entitled to feel the way you do about how we play offense, but bitching about it is really silly.

Who are we considering Curley's offensive "superstars"

Why do you feel this way? What would cause it to fail?

What is the precedent for a football "system" that has "failed" after 8 years of success?
Example?

jack hunt had that amazing catch vs UK in 02

I would take what Bama got last season over our "SEC title" in a motherfricking heartbeat. And so would you.
Oh, and he's about to win another one.

Jesus in Eddie Kennison's best season he had less than 800 yards receiving. That was also in the Dinardo era. If that's the bar then Miles has had double digit superstars.

What is the precedent
quote:Um, how 'bout 21-0 because you're the kinda guy who calls fullback dives on 3rd and 4 with all of the 4th quarter left and refuses to yank your obviously compromised retard quarterback.
Example?
quote:Not what I'm getting at. It's too predictable. Again, the superior talent will garner winning seasons, but the predictability leads to critical losses and near losses to greatly inferior teams.

But hey, it's better than the 90's, right, so I should quit complaining and root for another team. Criticism and imagination will not be tolerated.
Winning seasons are great, but when you know nothing will come of it, it takes the spirit out of you. Normally, as I did in the 90's, I'd just focus on the exciting players despite the record or lack of accomplishment, but his system is so boring, I can't even do that.

Face it. Miles doesn't like players like that. They go against his boring, meathead philosophy.

Definitely electrifying, but superstar? Not even close.
