We are an offensively conservative team that plays great defense and game plans to be in it at the ens of every game and most of the time that is exactly what happens.

So Les has no desire to be a capable passing team? You are an idiot!

Those bitching because Les' coaching cost us a loss to 'bama this year are stupid. What cost us against 'bama was a PLAYER (Mills) not PLAYING his assignment and blitzing on a play instead of taking care of his assignment. This is a player that likely will play in the nfl but on THAT play he fricked up.

Lets see blame a 20 yr old defensive back or a guy making $4 million a year....great choice arse wipe blame a kid.

I on the other hand don't blame anyone for the bama loss. It was a great game and we lost. Now the fact we didn't show up on 1-9 I blame on CLM.

Win as a team, lose as a team. Les made bad decisions in that game, but the players did not execute. Execution beats scheme more often than not. And if you're telling me he didn't have his players up for the game, I will never believe a testosterone filled 18-23 year old needs a 60 year old man to get them pumped up to play for a championship.

Holy shite we have a genius amongst us.

Well a good portion of posters on here think we should have a top 10 rated offense year in and out. we never will. Genius? No but sometimes pointing out the obvious is needed.

We are a capable passing offense this season (for the most part). That is as far as it goes for Miles' though.

I don't blame anyone for the loss. However, Mills did read the coverage wrong and that lead to the score - it happens but it is most definitely not the sign of a coach who doesn't know what he is doing.

I agree it was a great game, could have gone either way.

I disagree with blaming Miles for 1.9.12 - I think it had more to do with the previous 13 games than anything Miles or anyone else did. That team had one hell of a run and just did not have one more game in them.

I think mentally there was not a path to victory for that team and at some point no amount of scheming, coaching, or motivating can change that. Vince Lombardi himself in his prime would not have been able to get that team ready for that game.

I think Ronnie Prude is still suffering from PTSD from having been thrown so forcefully under the bus by Nick after the last second Iowa loss on his way out the door to riches and fame...

Bottom line is we know we can get talent and win alot of games with any coach. We are not going to get Nick Saban or Kevin Sumlin. We have Les Miles and need to learn to accept that.
