Les Miles is the only coach to have a down year ever.

I'd say this team is similar to that Georgia team with the future brighter than what they had.

An excellent coach that would be great at LSU with the talent we recruit.

Only one with a less than .500 season. lets wait and see how this one plays out

Something has to be said about a coaches ability to stay hungry. The attitude of the coach filters down to the players. So it's very possible for apathy to set in when a coach with a championship or bust mindset realizes a championship is out of the question. Which I believe is possible and most likely probable with this team.
Urban Meyer stepped away when that mindset began to cause him physical ailments. It seems as though he has recharged his batteries again at Ohio State and is once again hungry.
I believe this is why coaches like Malzahn, Freeze, Sumlin, etc., seem to be running circles around Miles both in enthusiasm and coaching in general.

Just stop you are making to much sense. A moron will tell you none of those programs have our talent. Yet never give Miles credit for said talent. Hahahahaha

So, they don't coach da Tigers, so it don't count...
We only worried about how Tigers play and WIN...
So every time we don't win 13 games, we should get a new coach...and all freshmen offensive starters must be Heisman contenders their first year, if not, we shouldn't have recruited them...

Not so tough when you play in the B1G... and your OOC games are against Ohio Community College, Columbus Penitentiary, and West Cleveland Elementary JV Team
