What, specifically, was shite about the game plan? I saw curls, screens, posts, go routes, wheel routes.... Harris missed on many of them. Unfortunately, there is no elixir when your quarterback is just plain inaccurate.

Had we not run the same shite show in the first half, we would NEVER have been down at the end of the game.

Yeah, whatever... as usual, everybody, especially a poorly coached QB, is at fault and not Miles.

I'm sure your infrequent visits to the site will become practically nil once Miles is gone. No other point for you to visit.

This is 100% coaching. You are focusing on one play.

1. Got blown off the ball on both lines of scrimmage all day long.
2. Game shouldn't have even been close.
3. Continue to ask BH to do things he's not good at in preference to things he is good at.
4. Can't ID & address even simple issues like out of bounds KOs or timely getting plays to the huddle.

He just isn't (and never has been) a top notch coach.

Bama btfo USC and Saban's post-game comments were about what they need to do to get better.
Fisher's comments were the same after last night's game.

Miles comments after a defeat or sloppy win are all about the things he did right. Not once have I ever heard him man up and say "folks, I had a bad game plan and won't happen again".

Today's pc he basically threw BH under the bus (which most of this board roasted PMaineri for) and blamed everything else on injuries. As if the other FBS teams didn't have "nicks" in fall camp.

If we had completed 5 more passes we'd have 5 more completions?!?
WTF?!?
If we had called a jet sweep to Chark or screen pass to Guice, maybe every single person in the world wouldn't have known the first play would be that worthless, asinine toss dive left like it is every single damn game.

Sorry, zsav, you're not getting rid of me that easily.
You'll still have to listen to my opinions on who to bring in next.

Tom Herman and James Franklin are on the short list, btw.

For a long time I've given Miles the benefit of the doubt. For way too long. Partly because of his personality and partly because he has won a lot of games. But looking back even when we win, most of the time, it hasn't been fun to watch. It's like driving down an ice covered interstate. It's miserable, tense and you're gritting your teeth the entire time and you get completely worn out from the experience. In the end, when it's over you're just glad to still be alive. I'm tired of lucking into wins and finding a way to win based off talent. I want to get back to dominating. And for that we need a dynamic coach who can make changes to his game plan during the game.

And then you'll fade away when Miles is shite canned? Ok, that's cool.

Take your "save Les Miles" shite and stuff it up your arse. The rest of us (the true LSU fans) have had enough of him.

This is way more than that last drive. He's getting killed for the whole game. Even if we had won he'd still get slammed

We need an "RA for Miles apologist" or " RA for another Miles excuse" option

I just wonder what should have been done differently when the quarterback is playing THAT badly.


Ok, I get it. Not everyone understands football. I'll help you out:

They do a REALLY bad job of putting Harris in a position to succeed. See, they recruited a kid who had only ever played in a spread system and whose talents fit a spread system, and have expected him to become a 7 step drop passer. A good example would be Tebow fits perfectly in Meyer's offense but he wouldn't do well in an air raid attack like Mike Leach or Texas Tech.

Couple having to make that completely unnatural adjustment with the fact that the predominant number of passing plays called require lower percentage downfield throws and you have a recipe for disaster...or at least a lack of confidence.

They need to allow BH to gain some confidence and get into the flow of the game/rhythm with some high percentage shorter passes - quick slants, swing outs, TE pops, screens.

But Les can't watch game film and see that.

Instead, what you get is three straight runs to the left to open the game, which if I knew that was coming you can damn sure bet Chryst knew it, then you get a couple low percentage passes and you've got a guy on third and medium/long without any rhythm and he hasn't had a chance to allow the game to slow down for him a bit.

Because we were suppose to see a new offense. But instead we saw the same old offense we've seen since miles got here. Everyone watching the game knew the first play was going to be a run. Why not run a play action? Even if Harris can't hit wide open wrs. Atleast it would have been something the defense wasn't planning on seeing.
