Geez some of you are just obtuse.
Team was in great shape under miles. Still practiced way too hard and way too physical and way too long on a daily basis. That wears you down and slows you down.
There was a great article this year about speeds during practice and how O and jack communicate about them and use them to gauge how hard to go. Miles got the same info and completely ignored it.
There is a reason miles teams had so many struggles in November each year. Even bad teams like Arkansas and ole miss many times. Teams were just exhausted. Hell Houston Nutt should be paying miles the read of his life for making his career.

Les Miles lucked into a championship. The man should thank whoever shoved that horseshoe up his arse. It eventually came out and we had to watch several years of bad football until he was mercifully fired.

How does shortening practices mean not working hard?

Coach O, Tommy and Jack work those kids hard, but they know how to control it. You can feel it out and cut periods shorter to save legs. Les was extending practices and would run them into the ground.

Sure as hell had no clue on 1/9/12 and whenever he would face a team that could beat his version of bully ball.

I’ve always thought that preparing for that hurry up offense is what paved the way for us to have the year we had that year.

Can't be.
All the truck nutz baws say different.
Well, that season ended with LSU playing for a national championship in New Orleans against a team they had already beaten on the road. In that game, LSU barely passed the 50 yard line and didn't score a single point. Yea.... I guess Miles knew what he was doing with the best conditioned team in college football.

I see it both ways. You could see it coming when we played UGA in the SECCG. We had no first downs in the first half. With that being said, we woke up in the second half and blew them away. But it was the same looking offense. And I like Miles, I still do. But you can't keep putting the same offense out there game after game after game. You have to change things up.
We had already beaten Bama so if they're so great, that win should have counted for more than it did. It would have had it been reversed. I don't understand why a team who didn't win their conference or even their side of the conference should get a redo. It wouldn't apply to any other team.
We play another game and Bama gets to rest for an extra week. That's garbage. They've done this twice now. Gundy should've advocated for his team more than he did. The next best team lost, bring in the team behind them. If it's a blowout, so be it. Nobody flipped out when Bama knocked out McCoy in the natty and they faced a true freshman. I'm so done with these other sets of rules that apply only to them. It's BS. You even saw it this past season. They still lose and Gary's on there saying, "I get it, their strength of schedule is weak but they can still be in there." Glad Auburn destroyed that.

I would counter that by saying he had some very good fortune in his early years, where the ball did bounce the right way for him.

That 2011 team was insane. We were not only stronger but we were faster than Oregon too.
Yep. And Saban had been gone 7 years, but I’m sure he somehow deserves the credit.

That is funny right there. Miles was the only coach in the BCS era to play for a title with 2 losses. Think about this for a minute. All the 4 and 5-star recruits, all the future NFL players, and inheriting a program from Saban (arguably the best college coach ever) and without West Virginia dropping a game that they were a 5 Touchdown favorite. Miles has Zero National titles. Miles did nothing to advance LSU.

I think something had an adverse effect on your brain. Indeed, this thread is so stupid that obviously something is wrong.

Miles was a retard
Hardly. He was a good coach that didn't evolve with the game and processes it took to be an elite college football program. All of it passed him by. He also had a hell of a lucky streak that eventually ran out.

Miles was given every opportunity to fix his shortcomings and he didn’t that’s on him
If marucci couldn’t get him to change his practice habits no one could
Despite that he still had some very good teams and with the right bounces could’ve had at least two more titles

LSU is a really good job. I’ll leave it at that.
hallman, dinardo, archer, arnsparger, and mcclendon say hello, none of whom even sniffed a natty
what Les did at LSU was GREAT......was time for him to go, but there's no reason to talk badly about someone who kicked arse while he was here
