I have spent several years defending on message boards and to other football fans because I know that he is a good man and loves his players.

Last night was piss poor coaching at it's best !

Everytime that the camera panned to Les he looked lost and kept mouthing "What happened" ? How can he not know what is going on ?

We have one of the best running backs is the SEC and maybe the nation and we can't get 2 yards ?

Great coaches would have pounded the ball and got those 2 yards and ran the clock or made Clemson use timeouts.

And these fake injuries everytime Clemson drove the ball, is that what we have been reduced to ?

I am beyond sad for our team.

I know it's a little thing, but I can't stand that Les refuses to actually answer the questions he get's asked by the sideline reporter when going in to halftime. Wasn't it the Florida game and he was asked what they would have to do to adjust in the second half, and the man starts talking about the weather? I know some might say he's just being coy or "Les", but from what we've seen over the last couple of years, I'm starting to lean towards he just doesn't have an answer. Just pound away at what we've been doing and if we persevere enough, we will come out ahead.

Not anymore, Les.

Fake injuries? I think they were cramping like a mofo from being on the field for 100 snaps........no?

Once again “Choking Chavis” goes soft when it is time to man up again.
We lost the Alabama game because of it, now we play “soft” and allowed
Clemson to march down the field and win.
Same thing he would do at Tenn, giving Fl the win.
Hopkins caught 13 passes for a game-high 190 yards and two touchdowns….and set up the last field goal.
From ESPN:
The Tigers' defense totally collapsed on Clemson's final two drives of the game, allowing scoring drives of 77 and 60 yards.

Yes, he has great stats, but what do they matter if we lose the big games?
Congrats to the “D” players…what a hard and unbelievable effort with all the plays that Clemson ran and no rest given to them by our Offense.
Oh yes….. our Offense ???
what offense… yes 24 pts, but also “8” three and outs” ???

Our offense, so easy even Clemson liked it.
Before someone starts to quote stats, let me say it..
Only ONE thing counts..did we win ? did we lose?
Quoting stats for the Off or Def is like saying that someone ran the fastest 90 meters ever in a 100 meter race.. if he did not win, it does not matter.
We need changes in philosophy and/or personnel (additions or subtractions)
or this will continue to happen.

...where is our head man.

CBLSU316 is on the money. Our D was on the field for 59 minutes. I'd be gassed too.

Very same reason our D finally broke against Florida.

don't worry. there are plenty out there who still think miles is a real coach, and deserves to be paid the insane amount he gets,and for the unforseeable future to boot. sooner or later the recruits are going to see through the good ole boy front, and start watching the coaching moves, and we will really have something to whine and bitch about then.

You'll switch back next year when he wins the SEC. Why be so emotional like a sixteen year old girl?

Have you ever heard of Benedict Arnold? He stabbed George Washington in the back by being a traitor.

That's what YOU are doing to Coach Miles. You are stabbing OUR "George Washington" in the back.

Stop and think about it, dude. Coach Miles IS LSU FOOTBALL. Support our Field General. Don't give up the ship.

Nope. That's not it at all.


I kind of hope you're trolling.

I doubt the injuries were faked. 100 snaps will lead too cramps.

Miles is terrible with clock management and at hiring/ firing coaches. No excuse to not hire a good OC.

The TO he called at the end of the first half just shows he doesn't think fast during the game. That TO should be called with 10 seconds left and not 5. Clemson could have thrown a Hail Mary.

Please stop the "he's a good man" crap. Anyone that has ever had to deal with him on a professional level will tell you he has the credibility of Baghdad Bob. Plus, the way he blindly supported JJ when he clearly was not the best option, while sending out Lee to take knees against UGA tells a lot about his character in my opinion.

I have no issue when a player is really hurt, but lately it seems that we have really been using this method to slow down a game.

Did anyone force Les to give a real answer on his decision to air out on that last drive?

I have looked but not seen it. If he said they had trouble running it - well most teams struggle trying to run up the middle against 10 in the box over and over again. Ford around corner would be 1 option.
