Im sure he wouldve stayed to coach the NC.

skip bertman had already told him "make up your mind and either get the frick out or commit to this program" .. hence the "have a nice day" press conference ..

i can't remember the site (now a paid one, and it's not the Lair), but i was blacklisted and given a "bad" rating for implying LSU would make a parking lot out of the box, as to make $$$$$. As opposed to LSU's future plans for a facility. This was a few years ago...
I'd sure like to hear from that MF that told me otherwise and basically kicked me off the site. Here's to you....

i thought it was basically common knowledge that the site of the old box was being eyeballed for future parking ??

He held that press conference to answer the ESPN reports and because his players were freakin' out.

The point is that we almost didn't get there b/c of Miles pursuit of the Michigan opening

You could have been a stain on your parents bedsheet had your dad pulled out...

See that didnt happen, are you blaming your dad for thinking about it?

LSU had finally gotten healthy and played an overmatched Ohio State team that had gotten destroyed the year before by Florida for the title ... had LSU managed to reach that game after leslie left, bo pelini and the rest of the staff would probably had the same result ..

---

I would have never argued that point...
but its hypothetical.

If we go 8-4 or 7-5 this season, what excuse will Miles and his followers have? A seasoned QB, a veteran o-line, a defense with a competent leader. I'm sure he'll just keep firing coaches until he gets lucky and wins 10 games.

Keeping Crowtown was a pretty savvy move for Miles in terms of job security in the future.

I see Sabanism at play here...and yes Les Miles won a National Championship as the HC at LSU as much as it pains you to believe that

---

it is pretty simple math and facts .. count for yourself .. uh duh .. the signing class of 2005, which had already been recruited by the saban staff and nick handed les the blueprint to was basically nick's class .. that group were juniors and redshirt sophomores in 2007 ... all of the third and fourth year players on that team were saban recruits ... how hard is that ?

quote:

---

A few down years and you are ready to throw in the towel?

---

understate much ?? it is more than a few years down ... see the ole miss debacle ..

quote:

---

The last few recruiting classes have given me hope that LSU will be on top again, until a few more years pass theres no way to know if this team can turn back to being the feared team they were a few years ago..

---

recruiting means nothing without coaching ... list the players recruited by this staff that have clearly improved under this staff ..

I am optmistic, I am a fan.

so in order to be a fan, you have to be eternally optimistic .. OK ..

If we win the SEC West what will all of you have?

a cardiac .. because we will finish third ..

It was Miles' third year. Recruited by Saban....coached by Miles. How hard is that?

quote:

---

but yet you won't give him credit for the 50+ wins, two SEC west titles, an SEC Championship, a NC

---

dude .. les miles is one of maybe 50 coaches that could have done that with the talent left here in his first three years .. the 2006 team was probably the best in the history of LSU football ...

quote:

---

or unbelievable recruiting.

---

his first true signing class was 2006 ... so far that group isn't setting the world on fire over the last two seasons, so no ..
