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

Just out of curiosity, if Miles isn't "your boy", who is? Who exactly do you cheer for? Are you an LSU fan?

---

First off, this is the dumbest question ive answered, you can be a fan of other coaches that are not at your school, I can be a fan of meyer and saban and still want LSU to beat both of those teams...I dont have the same hatred for saban that yall do...He left for the NFL, not for Bama...get over it..And I prob have more LSU gear than 95% of the people on this Rant, not saying im a better fan by having more stuff either, people driving in Houston, have no doubts that I am a tiger fan, been so since i was 10...

With a coach with a top tier salary, the idea should be to be in a championship game every season; not merely win more than we lose. Whether it be SEC or National we should be able to compete for this every year. We should not settle for second tier or mediocrity in playing or coaching.

---

Arky,Georgia,Auburn,and Tenn fans are saying the same thing.
When you played,did ya'll win every game or district championship?
Please respond.

I was looking for an in to post these comments and this provides it.
As I stated in a post regarding the outcome of the game, I'm just an Old Fart haunted by the ghosts of the past in the LSU-Bama series. For years under Cholly Mac, no matter how good LSU was, Bama always managed to be just a little better or have the breaks go their way and pull off a win. It was one of those series where Bama was the dominant team, just as say LSU-Miss. St or LSU-Kentucky.
The other team might get a run, such as LSU has had against Bama recently or MSU and Kentucky had against LSU in the '70's. But eventually the series reverts back to the pattern of the one team being dominant over the other as before.
The OU-Nebrasaka series also comes to mind here. For years OU dominated and Neb. couldn't win for all the rice in China.
It is just one of those series where one team has the other teams number and I fear that we may have reached that point in the Bama series again with the Little Prick coaching them.
This is not a knock on Les, or even a prediction of LSU falling from competing for SEC and NC honors, just an observer of history looking through clear rather than p&g colored glasses.
Under Les I believe that LSU will continually recruit as well as Bama and field teams as competitive as Bama. But, as before, as long as we're on just an even keel with them, it may not be good enough to beat them. And the thought of that absolutely makes me sick!

---

On the other hand,Bama may not be able to beat LSU either.

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.

---

waiting has nothing to do with it. it just the cycle that now exists in the sec. no team stays on top. bama hasn't been in the elite this decade but now they are. lsu slipped a little but is still a very good team. these cycles are normal.

quote:

---

9-3 or 10-2 will get Miles fired as well

---

that would be unprecedented and lsu would look like total dog crap if that happened

quote:

---

he was here for 5 years and took over a team coming off 2 losing seasons

---

yeah but that team had a significant amount of talent and was grossly underachieving.

quote:

---

not one a year removed from a NC and LOADED with talent

---

why are you ignoring the fact that miles is still doing a great job? it's not like he's running the program into the ground. how about d. peterson, randle, shepard and p. peterson all getting p.t. and looking good doing it. the future is not bleak whatsoever

Why would you want to get rid of a coach with a record like Miles?

quote:

---

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

---

name the sec coach that has EVER been able to sustain that kind of success

quote:

---

I think miles is a great coach and an even better person, but this is about winning

---

then you should be very happy because miles wins more than the vast majority of his competitors.

quote:

---

loyalty is suppose to be earned and I believe that he gives it to everyone...some who havent earned it...Ala JJ...

---

name the qb on the team that's better than jefferson. in fact, name the sec qb's who have a better pass efficiency rating than jefferson. name the sec qb's who can run better than jefferson.

quote:

---

if you couldnt tell that that guy wanted no part of that game you are insane

---

you have an interesting perspective because for 3 quarters, nick saban's mighty defense was getting pushed around by jefferson, crowton and dumb ole miles

quote:

---

I believe he could get the job done with the combo of his arm and his legs

---

like jefferson isn't "getting it done". friend, you need some perspective

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

let's see how meyer does over the long haul first. he's got a long, long, long way to catch up to spurrier

Why would you want to get rid of a coach with a record like Miles?

---

Not saying that I would want to get rid of him for say, I just dont like the way things are looking..I dont like his intuition, or the way he coaches, I like the get in your face make you do it coaches, not the I'm asking you to do it, kind of coaching...I like a hands on type coach, not a coach that is worried about the media or his shows or any book signings, (all that crap comes with winning, but a good coach stays focused on his team) i want a coach that is worried about his teams preperation, knowing there assignments, and putting the best players on the field...We just look so sloppy and that reflects on coaching...IMO I just dont like those CEO type guys, and I think he is turning into one....

keep on making excuses for your boy miles, fact is he got whipped by a better coach, again...

---

again, where did I say I hated Miles?...I can think that Urban and Saban are better and not Hate the other guy..

quote:

NT in 5 years, (learn how to count) and he never had to rebuild, he was handed a winning program with a new winning attitude.

---

but he's done exactly what you want a coach to do; continue winning. alot.

keep on making excuses for your boy miles, fact is he got whipped by a better coach, again

name the time when miles has EVER lost to a team like ulm, much less at home. what about UTAH? what are your excuses for that?
