LSU has to show Les Miles the money: James Varney

Maybe people are starting to realize that Miles is an elite coach.

Most know this. Some are just living in another world and will never enjoy football under Les.

James Varney

This guy?



I thought he was dead...

The problem with Miles is he loses to SEC teams far too often!

With the exception of last year he has lost between 2 and 5 games each year to SEC opponents since 2007! And last year we lost the one game that mattered the most.

Don't get me wrong, He is a good coach.

But we will never consistently win the SEC by losing that many games every year to conference opponents, much less a BCSCG. There's no use kidding ourselves.

and if Bama plays our east schedule this year and we play theirs, they lose 2 games and fall to the Peach Bowl (assuming the SEC would protect us like they protected UGA had we lost the SECCG). You can't blame Miles he plays a tougher schedule than Saban year in and out.

We haven't had a tougher conference schedule every year since 2007. Any one year could be described as an anomaly or bad luck with a tougher schedule but over time we are averaging 2-3 conference loses every year.

2-3 conference loseser year is too many if we really want to dominate our conference or consistently be in the mix to win a national championship.

What each of us has to do is ask ourselves if we accept the reality that once in a while things will fall into place and we'll take the SEC west but on average we are a 2-3 loss team that pays our HC $5 million per year.

I can accept this reality I suppose but wonder if some here can do the same.

Completely agree.

I thought the same thing! "Know wut I mean, Verne!"

Works out ok for Bama. Last year and this year.

Bama did not lose 2-3 games last year. They lost 1, remember?

Look! You guys don't take this the wrong way.

As I said Les is a good coach but he loses on average 2-3 conference games per year. Will 2-3 loses get us a championship? Occasionally a two loss team has done, we did in fact. But on average it won't get it done.

To us. They never should've gone to the BCS NG. We beat them, on the road. I don't care how good they were. They were a very good team last year and so were we, yet they get a do over and the rest of their schedule was a joke. As it is this year and next year too.

Funny when they beat us on the road, it doesn't work out the same for us. I know about the FL lose and such, still though.

10-2 with our schedule, injuries, new QB under center, is average. Got it.
