after the anger subsides

Perhaps a more reasonable evaluation can be made.

Saban/Smart are better than Miles/Chavis. They knew OM's QB takes seemingly 5 seconds (an exaggeration, but still .. an awkward, slow arm delivery) to wind up and throw a pass. So they devise a defensive gameplan to crowd the line of scrimmage, blitz, put hits on Wallace before he can wind up and throw. Ala. shuts out OM.

Miles/Chavis' gameplan was to rush 4, sit back in coverage, based upon the belief Wallace would make mistakes and throw INTs. Wallace has a career day.

Attention to detail.

It may seem like a minor thing, but, in the competitive SEC West, where ONE game can make or break your season, there is no margin for error.

Miles is a good, solid coach. Chavis is a good, solid coach. Neither should be fired. But I wish like hell they'd retire. Yes, no doubt, I understand the old saying, "Don't wish too hard for something b/c it may come true." Yes, the Board of Idiots, and Joe Alleva are fully capable of making a truly shitty hire. But I can't help but think there is a coach out there who can recruit, administrate, not diddle the office secretary on a motorcycle, hire expert, cutting edge assistants and coordinators, and win BIG at LSU, without the clock management brain farts, really bad passive defensive gameplans, and apparently lacksadaisical (?) recruiting.

In short, I would LOVE to see what Charley Strong, or Chris Peterson, could do at LSU. But I will support Les and the team. I think he's ready for ESPN Gameday, however.

Are you keeding me?! WOW, what a game, HNAH??!
