re: I keep hearing all these kids on here saying Miles has underperformed here

numbers lie..in that you can make the bad years look good w the numbers from the good years....

2007 was the best example of this. It was actually a terrible season where LSU wasn't even bowl eligible, but Les Miles' numbers lie and that leads many to think that LSU has a national championship that they actually don't have. GREAT POINT.

Miles gets paid EACH AND EVERY YEAR, I expect him to perform EACH AND EVERY YEAR.

How much do you pay him?

Fine, if youre saying that he isn't underperforming this year, then he must've underperformed last year.

Met was an awesome quarterback, the DBS were great and ego plays snaps in the nfl, and the online had trai turner plus everyone this year.

Take your pick. He underperformed this year or last year. Or you are saying the players underperformed.

But please, enough of your threads.......

There is really no point in comparing saban and miles. Saban is the better coach. Ask people across college football.

Irrelevant.

Now onto the more pressing issues. This is possibly the 3rd year in a row of LSU not living up to expectations. Is that okay with yall?

---

Of course. This isn't a pressing issue. It's an extra-curricular activity at a school. What dummy would get bent out of shape about such a thing?

Are you retarded? People who care about lsu football that post on messageboards care about how our football team performs.

And if they perform poorly, what happens?

Basically what do you mean by "is this ok with y'all?" What happens when something happens that isn't "ok" with you?

The Ole Miss loss last year was bad. I'm not sure who that was on....whether it was Mett trying to win a Heisman or something...I'm not sure...certainly if it was LSU for met to throw into double and triple coverage, that is on him. Was a very bad loss.

LSU played well in the loss to Georgia...this is when Georgia had all its players before the massive injuries...and it was on the road and Georgia won in the final seconds. No shame.

Alabama....nip and tuck into the third quarter...bama fakes field goal, game over....but again, how did LSU underperform @Alabama???? Alabama has the #1 class practically every year.

This year, we simply don't have an experienced QB. It makes ALL the difference in the world. You swap Prescott and Jennings/Harris and see what happens to both teams. Prescott maintains drives, completes third downs, keeps the ball, runs the clock, rests his defense.....LSU has not done that, at all....it's simply the difference right now. We see better QB play (and we will) and things will turn around quicker than some people want to see (the miles haters don't want to see progress).

LSU is young, too young. The season isn't over, and I suspect before it is some of you will be eating crow. LSU will be very good again starting next year for at least a few years.

Saban isn't all you think he is and that is a fact

I think Saban is a dick. I'm amazed the wheels haven't fallen off before now at Alabama, because I didn't think he could last this long.

The SEC was a different league back then. LSU went into the SEC Champ game at 8-3 if memory serves me...for 2001. LSU had a good year in 2003...no doubt....but also severely underperformed against florida that year...I remember being at the game and even the Florida fans gave florida no chance.....

---

looool you are ridiculous.

quote:

---

Saban, despite having the #1 recruiting class every single year, has won 2 SEC Titles in his 8th year at Bama now.

---

Is that the sentence you would use to describe Saban's tenure at Bama if your life depended on you being honest about it? No. You are cherry-picking facts to obscure the truth.
Just like Miles defenders always do. "Don't mind what your lying eyes are telling you about what LSU looks like year in and year out on the field. Look over here at this sparkling W-L record (and ignore that it's inflated by cfb going to a 12-game regular season in 2005). Never mind what you saw in 2003. LSU was never really that good before Miles got here and saved the day by fielding teams that, year in and year out, make you go WTF all game long and suck all the joy out of watching LSU to the point that people can barely be bothered to attend SEC home games."

The problem lies in the DEFINITION of underperformed..

if you look at his OVERALL record he has done well.

if you look deeper at specific situations and years and relative talent, then has not done as well as he should

only my perception, not saying I am right
but I seem to see a pattern of:
URGENCY followed by COMPLACENCY
and then back again


almost as if he does not get overly involved until the wheels come off

..fixes the problem and backs out again
