re: "Doomed to always be a 2-loss team with Miles"

I am and will always be happy with going 10-2 every season then having a couple off years and then having a great year

Ok, i'm not one of the miles cant do anything right people, but I dont believe for one second that he is an elite 4-millon dollar a year coach, if he wants to make that kind of money he should be in the top two in the SEC every year...the trend some people are seeing is that Bama and Fl are going to run away with the conference the next few years...They (as well as I) believe that we need an elite coach to keep us in the top 2...(we still have ole miss and AR left) Now, I think miles is a great coach and an even better person, but this is about winning...I like Saban, thats no secret, he is a diciplinarian that does what ever it takes to have his team prepared to play and it shows, he's mean and tough and sharp as a razor and his players start to take over his personality over time... I know he'll never come back and thats fine, been over that, but there are many coaches out there waiting for their big chance and will work till they die to achieve the ultimate glory...I think Patterson of TCU and kelly from Cinncy are just two...Miles loyalty (while I love that characteristic) is whats going to get him in trouble, I hate to say that because your suppose to teach that but loyalty is suppose to be earned and I believe that he gives it to everyone...some who havent earned it...Ala JJ...

I dont know why people are so optimistic about Jefferson, if you couldnt tell that that guy wanted no part of that game you are insane...A twisted ankle can be wrapped, put in air cast and, tapped etc....Play with some pain and balls for once...Now, ive wanted to see Jarrett Lee get his shot all year and he got it, didnt do anything with it, and I applaud Miles for leaving Lee in, he saw that JJ was scared too imo....That settles that...Les better find a quarterback that isnt scared to play in the "Big One" LSU shouldnt settle on mediocracey...LSU should have a damn good QB with all the recruits out there...(and if you noticed, Shep wasnt scared to play and ducked his head to run through the player close to the sideline) And perriloux was two years ago...so i dont want to hear that.....hiding the QB was miles intention from the beginning of the year b/c he knew he couldnt afford another 8-5 season but he could get by with 9-3, 10-2 and it be considered a success...he played for the record, not the championship...much like kiffin played for the scored in the florida game..You cant hide THE Quarterback,you cant do it and win Championships...Both players have had their chance...id like to see what shepp can do, Ive seen him throw, its not as good as JJ and Lee but I believe he could get the job done with the combo of his arm and his legs....get him stronger in the weight room and work on his throwing all spring and summer...

I think we can all agree that Steve Spurrier is probably the greatest SEC coach in modern history

disagree
-Urban Meyer 2-National titles, and maybe a 3rd in 4 years?

Nick Saban,In his 7 full seasons in the SEC, he has lost less than 2 games in a season once. ONE time. Out of 7. Hell, he's only lost less than three games in a season twice out of 7.

Does this include him building TWO Major College Football Programs from Mediocracy to greatness?

Do your homework...it has come out in the media today and was stated on air last night that JJ got his ankle wrapped and wanted back in the game. The coaches wanted to stick with JL for some reason...probably read the crap you bitches have been posting here week after week.

Is Miles so much the softie that he will risk production for seniority? Is this what we are seeing with Shep?

frick YOU NEGATIGER SCUM, SUCK IT!


Love or leave it - there is only ONE

Carl, I agree with your post.

I think that there are only two truly elite coaches in college football (Meyer and Saban). Since Les is not in that category, people want LSU to upgrade, but that is essentially impossible since neither Saban nor Meyer are going to come here.

Whenever you ask someone to name the coaches who would do a better job than Les Miles, I always get a kick out of the list that is posted, especially when people unhappy with the current LSU offense mention Butch Davis.

Being a 10-2 team isn't bad if you don't mind waiting for Bama to have an off year to win the west.

You could flip that around. Bama benefited from us having an off year last year. Yesterday they benefitted from a couple of favorable calls and injuries to our key players. But that shite happens in college football. That's why it's retarded to take 2 seasons and try to see trends. But you can take 5 seasons. And the trend with Miles is that his teams usually win 10+ games, lose 2, and finish ranked somewhere in the top 5.

being the 3rd best team in the SEC

We are currently the 3rd best team in the SEC. But less than 2 years ago, we were the best team in both the SEC and the nation. And Florida was about 4th in the SEC that year. They lost 4 games with a Heisman Trophy winning QB. Less than 2 years ago. shite changes from year to year. But to act like losing 2 hard-fought, extremely close games in a row to Bama somehow means we are destined to forever finish behind them is retarded.

People have no perspective.

Come on. Meyer has had a great run here. But his team will return to earth next year. Will they still be a damn good SEC team? Absolutely. But he's benefited from a couple of things:

1) The Dissolution of divisional foes. Tennessee, Georgia have been down.
2) The presence of a once-in-a-lifetime player. Tebow is that good beyond his physical skills, his intangibles and his ability to move the chains like a rb and throw the ball with enough consistency to keep teams off balance.

Before long, Strong is gonna leave (probably this year)... so there will be staff turnover. Even more importantly, Tebow is gone. Brantley may be a damn ridiculous passing QB, but he's not going to present the same dynamics to that offense Tebow did. Hell, they loss of Harvin has shown visibly on their offense this year... they aren't nearly as explosive or effective.

As far as Saban goes... Alabama was in the same talent spot LSU was when he got here. His teams will go down. They've been great as of late, but they'll run into walls.

The fact is, every coach goes in cycles. Is Miles among the elite? Hard to say. He's done some damned impressive things in his coaching tenure for people to argue otherwise (notably beating OU twice with vastly inferior talent while at OSU). Mike Gundy still hasn't done that in 5 years and his teams have been much better.

Stoops, Brown, Carroll, Meyer, Saban, Tressel, Rich Rod (even though he sucks right now), Miles... these guys are all very very good coaches with track records to prove.

And honestly, if you go into any fanbase during losses, they sound about the same as ours. USC's fans were sick to their stomachs after the arse beating they took last week. Did they want Carroll fired? No chance in hell. And he hasn't been as successful as Miles against lesser competition.

It's part of being a top dog - perfection is expected every year and it's just unrealistic. If we drop 2 more games this year, then we can start to worry.
