re: I don't like any of this

I agree that there are some 'common' people who frequently post uncalled for and inexcusable nonsense on this board. No justification for that sort of thing. For me, this is about what Miles has done for his entire coaching tenure at LSU and that, now, the production is just not there. Moreover, there is nowhere evidence that the problems which have plagued this program year on year are being addressed let alone solved.

The fact is that the road to the West championship goes through Tuscaloosa. It is clear to many that Miles is not the man to beat Saban. Just is not going to happen. So, either the program is satisfied to finish 2nd or worse in the West and maybe be lucky enough to get to Atlanta once in a great while, or it is time to find someone who really has a want to beat 'Bama.

Miles's teams are undisciplined and poorly prepared as often as not. I do not understand this given the stakes in the SEC. Surely Miles understands this, but has not had the imagination to keep the team in the hunt in November. Heck, even this year, it LSU had lost only to 'Bama, critics would have to bide their time. But the team came out against Arkansas and looked like they hadn't practiced in a month and looked disinterested. They have been pushed around the last two Saturday's like an FCS team which is not what one expects from a coach getting > 4M/year to say nothing of the supposed talent that he has. In my opinion the talent is just not there where it matters most-on the lines.

Miles in under the gun and rightly so. I see LSU getting whacked again badly after which the daggers will really be out. Frankly, this should not be an emotional thing, but for most fans it is. Alleva made a big mistake giving Miles an extension, but he is also the man that presided over the lynching of the Duke lacrosse team. If LSU really wants football to prosper, it needs a new AD.
