re: Guilbeau: Coaches Must Be On Drugs...Or Just Stupid

- but what about when it was 30-17? Don't you think it was time for Shep to start getting some serious touches after that?

Good point, but Les Miles is too ignorant to understand that Butch Davis made Les his bitch in the all important 2nd half...Like the other poster said, "SOS" from Les.

After 2 seasons of horrible coaching & not competing for the SECCG, you'd think that Les would've wanted to make a statement against NC. Les is just not a good enough coach to do that.

" Pellini and Jimbo think our coach is an idiot."

Still waiting for direct quotes verufying this.
When, where did either of them say, "Les Miles is an idiot"?

Maybe they figured the chances of a 97-yd TD pass were 0 in a million. Um, make that 1 in a million. Anyway, maybe the man-to-man was based on assumptions that a big play from Yates was unlikely?

Oh so thats why they had first time players in man-to-man and Patrick Peterson, the best athlete in college football and best d back, ON THE BENCH!!!

Who won the game?

what coaching staff looked a lot better in the 2nd half?

Instead, LSU went three and out on its first three possessions of the second half

This is incorrect. The first possession of the second half consisted of 2 first downs prior to the third series in which Ridley coughed it up.

Otherwise, Guilbeau makes many good points in a strung out inelegant manner. That article was hard to read and could have been half that length and said the same thing. Does this guy get paid per word or something, or maybe he has to fill up a column qouta?

He is right about the coaches decision and thinking, but he is poor in his profession also, so maybe someone should call for his job also.

Ok here is the point. Guilbeau is right to an extent. The whole point is, and if you think about it I'm right, out of all the major programs in the country we had the most to prove that we were still a legitimate power. And this is all the intangibles, from coaching to talent. The whole knock on this coaching staff is the fact that we dont go for the kill. When we have our foot on peoples throats, we just let it sit there and delay the execution until the cavalry arrives, like in some cheesy Hollywood movie. I said this in another post, I never had a problem with Spurrier back when he was with Florida. They played the whole 60 minutes and never put the foot off the accelerator. People bashed him for being unsportsmanlike, but he empowered his players to always stay aggressive and to never quit. Even if they were up 30 with 10 minutes left in the game, they were playing like it was a close game. These days you got to have that mentality. Last years Moo State game should've been a perfect lesson for Miles and the coaching staff to learn from. I would've hated seeing PP or RS or RR get hurt up by 20, but UNC was not quiting, even though they seemed out of it. When that 97 yrd touchdown happened, that should've been the wakeup call they needed to crank the engine back up, but you all know that its hard to get that competitive engine revved back up after it has been turned off.
If it is Crowton's fault that we are all of a sudden going conservative and sitting back on offense, then fire his arse but Miles is the CEO of the program, and the players and the coaches take the cues from him. If he feels its in the bag, he is going to alert the coaches to do the same and thus it filters down to the players. Throwing his players and then the coaches under the bus after every game is getting old. If you want something done, then by gosh make it so.
Miles just seems he doesn't have what it takes to do it at this high of a level. Him and Houston Nutt are pretty much twins. They do their best work when they are out gunned and out talented.
I dont know how many times I have said this, but hopefully this will FINALLY be the lesson they needed to learn to get things turned around. Stay behind the boys through all of this and hope talent will rule at the end of the day and not the coaching.

Shepard did touch the ball in the second half. He got sniped and tackled himself. Now we are leading and trying to run the clock out with our rb. Rs is a fricking wr. You really want to run the clock out with him? The problem I saw was the discipline and the stupid penalties killing drives. The playing calling was super conservative. I'll give him that. Running up the middle on 3rd and 8 when it's 30-17 is fricking baffling.

GG tells it like it is. Tigers are paying too much money for coaches who DUH..aren't brillant. Think that all of the best coaches left after the first year, or asap. The grapevine always said that they saw the handwriting on the wall. It is going to take a lot of luck for us to be a winner.

Would he have been just as scathing if Shepard or Peterson had played the entire second half and suffered a torn ACL

It's shite like this comment that make the Rant unbearable sometimes.

I have been a Miles sympathizer in the past. I just can't do it anymore. If you can't see what is wrong with this man and this team you just really aren't paying attention or just don't want to see it. There are always a couple people on here that support him, but I can literally find zero people in real life that are still on his wagon. I really wish I could find one so I could assess whether or not they actually know anything about football.

Are you paid by the Athletic Department to get on here to try to do damage control? Does it pay well? Is there a fee per post, or is it an hourly rate? How does that work?

You have no answer. You have no proof. Yu have no evidence. So you attack me personally? You made a flat statement. I'm just asking that you man up and back it up. Or admit that you lied. It's that simple.
