No because you picked that one post and ran with it.

I said Miles was trending down. Im trying to look at the whole body of work here. You want to wipe away anything on the books before that just because I said trending down, and you want to disprove my "trending down statement" to try and discredit the whole post. If you really think the program under Miles was trending up you are retarded.

O's whole body of work at LSU is pointed upward. He has won more games each year. Of course there are questionable losses that I dont think Miles would have lost to. I;s also not going to give Miles credit for wins wither.

“No”

I believe I said part of the meat of a schedule. I think most reasonable people would list Wisconsin and Auburn as having some meat.

It’s not all that unusual for LSU football to start the season 4-0 or 5-0. That’s why the clamor on the rant used to be, don’t tell me what you’ve done in Sept., tell me what you did in Nov. That seems to have changed with some for whatever the reason.

No less ridiculous than using 1/3 of a season to claim a downward trend.


How is this ridiculous? Miles wasnt the first coach to get fired after a slow start to the season.

You said final 2 years. Then, when you realized his final 2 years weren't a downward trend you decided to expand the criteria to meet your needs.

That's called moving the goalposts.

Sure. O's whole body of work over 2 years is an upward trend. Just like Miles' final 2 years were actually back on an upward trend, even though you claimed they weren't.

I'm glad we were able to clear that up.

I 100% agree with this. Which is why after a 2-2 start, that is when the decision to make a coaching change happened.

I cant remember but Wisconsin was ranked but Auburn wasnt correct?

Ill spell it out for you next time. I figured common sense after I said 13 wins, 11, wins, 10 wins, 8 wins you would get my argument.

Thats not moving the goal post at all

Arkansas And Ole Miss


The problem is they beat us by a lot of points. Both of them.

We averaged 16 pts of affense a game all November 2015c

In the three losses we were outscored 99-47


The game we won we score 19


2016, scoring offense was bad. In the two losses we scored 14 and 13 points

Ok man I'm done.

8-5 to 9-3 is a downward trend for Les Miles.

See this is the problem. All I was trying to do was use the whole body of work for each coach. Not just 100% of O and 20% of Les, like I stated in a previous post. Guess you missed that one.

Common sense is using 4 seasons to illustrate a downward trend, but ignoring the final season that had reversed it?

You went from using his last two years to.

9-4 to 10-3 is up. a 10 win season to 8-5 is trending down.

The way the offense was playing, who knows?

Losing 5 of 9, averaging about 14 points a game in those losses will tend to get you fired.

My fault. I got your statement and Lonnie's mixed up.

Lonnie's original post was:

quote:

Coach O has done a good job, but acting as if 5-3 in the SEC or 10 wins is anything special for LSU football is strange cause the guy we fired 3 yrs ago did that and more on a fairly regular basis.



This is what I had originally responded to

Thought you were done

Then what did I say after that. I agreed that we would have beaten McNeese. Then I said I was only posting the record on the books.

None of this has anything to do with what im talking about. Would Les Miles win or lose against 2016 Ole Miss and Arkansas. Les would of ended the 2016 season with exactly the same record as O ended up with

I've explained in this thread that I've laid off the cursing and name calling. It's incredibly difficult but I'm working on it.
