GFY, liking or not liking your HC has nothing to do with being a real fan or not.


Liking doesn't necessarily equal supporting. I support him because he is the HC at LSU. I want him to be successful simply because it means the team has been successful. I may not like a lot of what he does, I may not have faith in him to turn the offense around this year but I support him because if he is successful, so is the team.

You've missed out on arguably the most exciting five+ years in LSU football history.

I still support the man. But, I am afraid of the future. The more I think about it, the harder his head appears to be.

When we lose a game to the obvious, then my compass will begin to point south. BUT, while we are 4-0 and have kick arse special teams and D, i support him.....he did have a hand in those 2 ya' know.

First of all, GameDay coaching skills have nothing to do with class and dignity for the most part.

And secondly, Miles goes out of his way to protect his players, so your second comment is not only baseless, but exactly contrary to how Miles treats his players and assistant coaches in the media.

He is a horrible communicator and doesn't "sell" his team like Mack Brown and the fella at Alabama.

No. I constantly get tired of hearing the same old recording and seeing something different on the field. I certainly would like to get JL and mike ford in the game and give them significant playing time

Then how the hell has he won 55 games, including some very big ones, in a little over 5 years?

BTW...i already know your answer, i just want to see you say it.

Miles has the greatest winning percentage in LSU football history. Of course I support him.

All it would take to stop a whole lot of this negativity would be for him to put JL in and let him perform as I think he can. I do not support him thumbing his nose at common sense by playing JJ regardless of his inefficient play.

Yes, he is the head coach of our football team. We should support him until he is not.

If I don't like someone, why would I support them? The one thing he had going in my mind was he supported his players. Then he just disgusted me with the whole JL thing after the interception. You can't do that and think you still have my respect.

Miles is a very poor communicator, who is a great recruiter, who makes poor decisions on player personnel assignments too frequently, who's as hard-headed as they come, and I would not have hired him , nor would I chose to retain him....I wish him health and happiness in his personal life.....Since he holds the reigns for my LSU Tigers, I wish him the absolute best in that capacity also, and even with poor coaching snafus, he might just pull out a championship in the 2010-2012 window.

Does that count?
