Also Patterson at TCU has done way more with less talent the past 5 years.

Look I love Miles as our coach as much as anybody but you're crazy if you wouldn't take Art Briles,Saban,& Meyer over Miles.

At the end of the day only one thing matters .... W's..... thats it. Miles is ahead on that for sure but damn he can be frustrating. Better tighten up CLM





Actually there is a lot more than just winning. A lot more.

It is just a football game.

LSU's recent SEC record has been
2011-8-0;
2012-6-2;
2013-5-3;
2014-4-4.

Time to start heading back to the plus side.

Dude he beat our Murray for the starting job at UGA until his legal trouble happened! Cam took somebody with a Cannon and polished him up.


Is that why he couldn't even pick up corner blitzes off of the slot in 2012? Why didn't he have the knowledge to use his snap cadence to fool defenders into jumping presnap some that they tip there hand? Mett was crushed by several of these corner blitzes in 2012. He was hit so hard against North Texas, he had to come out of the game & Stephen Rivers came in.

How about his deep ball? He consistently over threw open receivers on deep routes that same year. Why? His footwork on his 5 to 7 step drops were terrible. You can thank that Stud of an OC for that. The steps on a drop back are timing mechanisms to let a QB known when to throw the ball. If the steps aren't right, the timing will be off.

3 Step Drop = Quickest passing drop; deep designed routes, excluding nine routes (also known as 'go' routes) will usually be around 15 to 20 yards downfield. A 3 step drop is about 1.5 strides time to getting the ball out, and should be 2 to 3 seconds if play is properly executed.

5 Step Drops = Moderate passing drop; designed routes, aside from nine routes and go routes, will be 25-35 yards. QB will drop three full strides and then take a step to collect his momentum before he throws. This will help him push the ball downfield. Ball should be out in 3 to 4 seconds.

7 Step drops = Deepest passing drop; designed routes will mostly be 20+ yards, with the deepest being 35+ yards. The QB will take five full strides and step to bring his momentum forward for his throw. This play takes the longest to develop, but the ball should be out at around 4 to 5 seconds.

Why didn't Bobo & Richt teach him this in the 5-6 months he was at Georgia then?

Miles is fine only if he takes hid hands off the offense.

Not Briles because he doesn't control the clock and run the ball when he needs to.

Mettenberger would have been great at Georgia if he hadn't gotten in trouble. He came here and saved Les! fans like you act as if it proves miles staff can develop a qb from day one. Mettenberger learned a lot at UGA. I admit cam polished him, but my original statement stands. Les Miles staff has yet to take a qb as a freshmen and send him to the Pros since Jimbo developed JM, and MF. Facts are facts man

If LSU got to play Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Missouri, the SEC Eastern non-division opponents Cupcake Schedule like some team has gotten, everyone would love Miles. Sure is easy to make it to Atlanta with a non-divisional schedule like that.


LSU went 2-4 vs. the SEC West last year. 2-0 vs. Florida and Kentucky from the East. Imbalance in the cross-divisional schedules was not the problem, at least not last year. The problem was being arguably the second worst team in the SEC West, and definitely one of the bottom three. If being a good guy was all it took, then Charles McClendon and Jerry Stovall would have won several national championships.

But if we play at Kentucky instead of Georgia in 2013, we go to Atlanta


If we had played Kentucky instead of Georgia in 2013 (assuming we beat Kentucky), we would have gone 6-2 in the SEC and finished behind Auburn and Alabama. How in the hell would that have put us in Atlanta?

quote:

The East Schedule has been the difference of us..and them.


No. Four losses in a row to them has been the difference between us and them. 5-1 vs. 2-4 in the SEC West last year was the difference between us and them. Being the hapless punching bag that ended a 17-game SEC losing streak has been the difference between us and them. Not showing up for a national championship game has been the difference between us and them. Not being able to protect a 3-point lead at home for a minute and a half or less TWICE has been the difference between us and them. Georgia hasn't had a damned thing to do with it.

No he did not. He wasn't there long enough to fully be developed at Georgia learn. Plus he was not going to start over Murray.

quote:

After briefly hesitating, Richt answered the inevitable question of whether Murray would have been No. 1 even if a third quarterback, Zach Mettenberger, had not been kicked off the team on Sunday. The answer, Richt said, is yes.

“I’m not out to hurt anybody worse than they may have been hurt to this point,” Richt said, “but Aaron would have been the No. 1 quarterback.”

Yes Cam did polish him but he was not going to start over Murray & he wasn’t anywhere close to being finished product when he was forced to go JUCO.

You won't get any argument from me here. Crowton was on his way to getting "coach burnt-out" when he got LSU & Stud was an absolute joke. Miles hung on to Crowton about a year or two too long. It was unfortunate what happened with Kragthorpe & nobody could have envisioned him getting hit with such an illness not long after being hired. The last part of your statement is going change soon with the combination of Cam & Harris.

I like Miles but he's not the best coach out there and this thread seems like you're trying to convince yourself

I wouldn't trust Meyer. Florida players ran roughshod over in Gainesville.. just look at that arrest record and the fact that Muschamp was hired to "Clean up the program" He's a great coach, but I wouldn't want him

We lost every game but one. I was a second string QB until the starter broke his arm.

I felt huge pressure from that coach. You could compare him to saban. Our successes were miniscule and our failures were monumental.

Doesn't sound very Saban-esque to me
