Chilgel - you speak the truth. The Negatigers are too stupid and rantarded to know it or accept it. Gutless cowards will never get it:).

Harris was not ready to start last year. They handled him correctly. A total implosion could ruined his psyche like it did Jarrett Lee.

the version ( of Saban toward end of his reign) we got was one eye on the NFL


If fans would remember he accused them of putting to much pressure after he won NC and like Chavis saw a chance to jump ship

If LSU wins this weekend with a successful passing game and goes on to playoffs credit part of the wins personally to the many loyal 4-5* WRs of La. (who signed at a time of poor OB recruits) because they were true purple and gold players from childhood and not because they knew they would be catching loads of passes which they could have done on many other top ten teams.

Saban did turn over a good situation to Miles, but Miles only had 15 signees in that first class. Miles started Oklahoma State on the way to respectability. Miles may well have turned LSU into a power, and Dinardo did leave some good players for Saban to work with (Josh Reed, Rohan Davey, Bradie James, Trev Faulk, Domanick Davis, Lebrandon Toefield, etc>) Credit both Saban and Miles. I think things turned around when Dinardo got Kevin Faulk to come to LSU.

Chaseff - you are correct IMHO. The successful recruitment of Kevin Faulk was the first light out of the dark dungeon for our program. Too bad for Dinardo that he was too stubborn, did not listen to advice and enabled his loyalty to sink him. He was his own worst enemy.

If that's the case, it would still be wrong going by winning percentage.

I love coach Miles, and I can't to see Allie LaForce interview him after we win this game. He might not show much emotion, but he'll be happy as heck. Moreover, I'll be just as happy for him and the team.

3-8, 4-7, the LSU team record the two seasons before saban got here 13-1, 9-3 the team Les inherited. Just a tad bit of difference. If Saban had stayed at LSU, he would have more wins than Les.



Your numbers prove that Gerry Dinardo isn't as good of a coach as Saban.

Furthermore, the Les file shows that at LSU there isn't any huge difference between the two. With ALL that talent on the '04 team (your words), Saban lost 4 games, LES took that team and improved it.

That's the bottom line, and the only true comparison to be made

Miles and this team need this W over Saban and Bama. End of story.

To me, this sort of unnecessary pedestalization detracts from the essence of the sport.

Consider Fournette's attitude, which Miles apparently talked about on College Football Live:

quote:

He asked Leonard how he felt about his Touchdown being called back on the penalty (87 yarded vs SU) and Leonard responded, that wasn't my touchdown. That was LSU's touchdown.

if you mean miles trusted chavis.


lsu has steel and a rushing d.l. no more 3rd and chavis.

never did chavis sack qbs. different game, different d.c.

quote:

The question should be will LESS Miles once again pull DEFEAT out of the Jaws of VICTORY. 2 out of the last 3 years we have outgained and outplayed Bama but lost due to Miles, plain and simple being outcoached.

Miles took over Oklahoma State and turned it around. They flourished after he left, but Miles built the foundation.

Oregon.

And you didn't mention those specific qualifiers in your other post, but TCU also has a better record. Alabama and Ohio St. also have better records, but they've both had wins vacated.
