I'll take a typical miles and crowton call to the tune of a crystal ball every year. Quit bitching . I know you hate Les, but he just won a game against a team on the road that you haven't beaten in recent memory. Your team played a great game ... Congrats. LSU played a great game. We won because of a great team effort and that includes our coaches great play calling

we will see bammer. at what point does les stop being lucky imo? his calls work over and over. just because he doesn't do the norm doesn't make him retarded. If i had to guess the bear probably pulled some stuff out of his arse. you don't become great by being like everyone else.

I'm not sure how that is your opinion.

You're right, it doesn't. Only when those calls cease to work do they become 'retarded'.

Bear's OC was Mal Moore, and Mal Moore couldn't pull shite out his arse calling a game.

Les will never get the respect he deserves from stupid arse gumps. But hey they can keep on believeing that their coach is the next Bear Bryant and Les will make his name known for years to come.

Also, this is what Miles did at Oklahoma State when it came to weekly AP Top 25 rankings...

Head Coach Les Miles
2004 NR, NR, NR, 25, 25, 22, 16, 22, 20, 19, 25, 23, 23, NR, NR
2003 24, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, 23, 18, 14, 21, 24, 23, 22, 21, NR
2002 NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR
2001 NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR

Head Coach Bob Simmons (without Les Miles, who was coaching with the Dallas Cowboys from 98-00)
2000 NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR
1999 NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR
1998 NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR

Head Coach Bob Simmons (with Les Miles as the OC from 1995 to 97)
1997 NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, 20, 16, 12, 19, 25, 24, 25, 24, 24

1995 NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR

Compare to the legendary Jimmy Johnson during his time at Oklahoma State, right before U of Miami hired him as their head coach.

Head Coach Jimmy Johnson
1983 NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR (8-3)
1982 NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR, NR (4-5-2)

Miles has made more ridiculous calls, they have just worked out. If it worked against Iowa you don't say shite about it bc it worked...but it didn't.

FWIW, he made the same call against Houston, Ole Miss and Arky last year. All worked.

I liked Saban when he was here, but the reality is that he is extremely abrasive regarding his assistants to the point of losing a few every single year. This never helps, especially on the offensive side of the ball. (BTW, this is something LSU fans always glossed over and made excuses about.)
He also will completely pull the plug on the offense in a big game if it is close or he has a small lead. It can be very frustrating. Is he a 4 year wonder maker? Yes. How does it play out over a longer period? No one knows. He has never stayed anywhere very long.
We do know he recruits like a mfer.

I was upset when Saban left. We hadn't had as successful a coach in 45 years. But looking back on the Miles years so far... I am completely content with Miles. You can have Saban. If he wins a title with you, he will be the first to do so at two different schools. No one has been able to rekindle the same success at more than one place. Not Spurrier, not Holtz, not Dennis Erikson and hell, Fullmer can't even do it at the same school.

Like I said, if he does it, good for him. He is better than I think he is. But history, his and college football's, is stacked against him. I guess we will see how they stack up next week.

And nothing clemson has done so far shows me they aren't overrated. Its a yearly thing with them.
