oh. so you didnt start 125 games ago, you started 124 games ago. glad you cleared that up.


I don't know if you've heard this, but first impressions are kind of important. He made a bad first impression, not because he didn't win every game, but because he seemed kind of clueless.
It would be one thing if it was an isolated incident, but it clearly wasn't. Les is who we think he is.

He turned out to be much more capable of winning games and sustaining the program than I thought someone with his other characteristics could be, but his luck seems to be running out now.
Is that coincidental with the program being longer in his hands? I don't think so. The team seems much shallower than it used to be. It's a lot easier to be "lucky" when you have better players than 11 out of 12 of your opponents. And yes I know about all the early departures. I don't think that explains what seems to be an overall lack of talent in the program.

and b/c we did shite like shut down the offense

when UTenn made it 21-7, i called it game over. you could just tell by how we had shut down the game that we were going to let them bleed us

add in the exhaustion factor, and it happened. if the coach doesn't believe his guys can go out and win, that attitude is reflected in his players' play on the field. les exhibits this all the time when he tells the offense "i don't trust you", and he's done this since 2005

but like i said earlier, UTenn 2005 didn't seal Miles' fate. but we grew to see the exact issues over and over again

No shite that is what happens when your team loses 4wr, 2RB and a QB to the NFL - very hard to recover from that. Tell me what other team has gone through this??? What's the coach supposed to do, not coach them up to their peak ability so they stay? Lol
