what are y'all expecting this year? Nothing less than winning the West would have ppl eating crow here.
this wouldn't shock me at all. i understand people being pissed about 2008 and then frustrated in 2009 but the level of criticism is unwarranted IMO. most of it is the media parroting each other because they know we'll react with half a million mouse clicks to read whatever negative article they can write. the 'rumor mill' on espn referencing a post on the fricking rant as a source was a perfect example of this (from the rant to finebaum to barnhardt to espn.com rumor mill and back again to the rant). i think he's a good coach and plenty capable of leading us to championships in the future. is he perfect? hell no; but no coach is. we'll be back on top soon.

Losses to Bama & UF for the 3rd year in a row, & I guarantee you his tail will be warm no matter what his record is....it is easy to say that if he goes 10-2 or 9-3 b4 the season starts, but if those losses are against your biggest rivals for 3 consecutive years...it means a little bit more

so he has to win 10 games a year or 10 games in two years? either way you are wrong. cus if he wins 10 game sin 2 years he is gone...if he wins 8+ next he stays. hell he would probably stay with 7+

lol our biggest rivals were ark, ole miss , and auburn 3 years ago. now they are uf and bama? If we lose to uf and bama and end with 10 wins he isnt going.


I dont think they would keep him just for the class. That may have something to do with it if they keep him with 7-8 wins.

Gonzales will make our WRs much better.....but we won't see much change in the overall passing game, IMO.

Yes it was. Everything is better last year with a more dominant offensive line. Running game, QB play, time of possession, defense being less tired at the end of the game... all are attributable to having a HORRIBLE offensive line that had difficulty blocking ULL.

I could just as easily argue that all of it stemmed from QB play so horrid teams were putting 8-9 in the box. It's one of those which came first situations. I'm not saying the OL was a dominant force but it was far from the swiss cheese abomination/scapegoat that this board makes it out to be. The QB play was worse than the OL play.

You could, but you'd be wrong.

Teams rarely stacked 8-9 in the box b/c they didn't have to. Our OL was THAT poor.

i don't even care if la tech, u laf, state, washington, put 8 or 9 in the box. if you have a good o-line, you still run on those teams.

there have been many teams that still run with 8 or 9 in the box over the years. nebraska, bama, lsu (with alan faneca and lance smith), ohio st, oklahoma, arkansas. you have a good o-line, you can run. it doesn't matter how many they put in the box.

We’re basically stuck with a guy who is literally incompetent, but because he happens to be at a university that is situated in a Mecca as far as recruiting talent goes, he gets to keep his job even with mediocre 8 and 9 win seasons when virtually any other coach would be consistently producing 10 and 11 win seasons. It’s the life story of LSU.

You would have figured that LSU would have learned its lesson when it hired Saban, but it didn’t and it sucks.

As long as he is recruiting like he is, there's no way they are going to cut him loose.


I don't care how good he recruits, if he can't develop talent and win games he needs to go, and then I'm not so certain it is Miles who is doing the recruiting or if it is the reputation, tradition, fan base, and facilities that are still attracting the recruits. Not to mention that Miles isn't responsible for any of those things. In any event, if he doesn't get us a few double digit win seasons, then it won't matter how good of a recruiter he is, as people are going to begin to avoid us like the plague.

The fan base might not love him, but we are in a position that will allow us to compete for an NC year in and out with the way he recruits.


Sure like the past two seasons?

right. he's just propping his feet up in his office and getting that local home grown Louisiana talent while barely having to do any work at all. he's just grillin' brats right? not even making an attempt to recruit out of state because EVERYONE just WANTS to live in Baton Rouge. kids from florida, georgia, tennessee, virginia, ohio, etc. just have nowhere else to go and are just dying play football at LSU because we are the fricking mecca of college football. that's just great to fricking know.

I just find it fricking hilarious how some people on this site spin shite to make him the worst coach on the planet. It like if we neglect his first three incredible seasons including a NC and lump in a good season in 2009 with his one poor season(eventhough not a losing record) we can finally make him look just average.


Yeah right. Never mind the fact that Miles is probably the most incompetent coach in the history of college football to luck into what could possibly have been the most loaded football program in college football history. Do you think if Saban hadn’t preceded Miles that Miles win/loss record at LSU would be what it is today? Would LSU even have lucked into another national championship game in 2007 despite Miles had Saban not preceded Les Miles?
