Notes from Les Miles' call to Off the Bench this morning:

- Advice to Orgeron: "He needs to be less responsive." Basically, your team is what's most important, so don't sacrifice them to media sound clips.

- "Played with Swagger. Swagger is a confidence mixed with preparation."

- Never took the field thinking we wouldn't win. We always thought we would be kicking someone's tail.

- We knew it would be hard, but that's how we had prepared, and we were comfortable doing hard things.



How times have changed.

Les should have never been fired if Orgeron was the only alternative.

Yet in his last few years, a lot of what he said there was “don’t do as I do, do as I say do.”

Eh. The team looking really prepared wasn't really his hallmark, with one or two exceptions a season.

Sad that O needs to be told this by the coach LSU just fired.

Yeah, that all sounds like what is missing from the team.

I said this during the MSU game. The team is lacking the toughness and discipline culture that Miles brought. Or any good head coach really.

It's bad at it's core and O is responsible for that. He's responsible for establishing the culture.

It's all right there O pumpers. Listen to it.

BOOM! There is a SERIOUS lack of preparation.

Man, I miss that crazy bastard. I never though I would say that. But, I never thought it could get this bad.

I forget which CFB programs have interviewed Les Miles for extended employment as their head coach? Michigan might if Jim Harbaugh were to vacate perhaps?

Didn't prepare too hard for bama. If fact, the coaches should give back their pay checks for that two week hiatus.

O and DP ran their campaign on the platform of telling people what they wanted to hear. So O is still trying to do that, only when faced with actual adversity this time around its impossible to do.

But mean ole Les practiced them too hard.


There were some clips from Bama players asking why they have been successful. Basically they said they work harder than anyone else.

The best thing Les said this morning is that you don't talk about who you don't have.

"We're missing Rashard on the DL."

"We don't have a kicker."

Have I mentioned how much Ogre stinks at his job?

the only thing important to O is himself. He doesn't give a damn about the team
