Tee Bob asked him about the personnel including the wide receivers and he did not mention any of the wide receivers.

He talked about Joe Burrow's "moxie" and he talked about Myles Brennan's running ability? Moxie is great but what about passing accuracy? Is it overrated? And I did not know Myles Brennan was a threat running the ball? I thought he was a pocket passer. I don't care if they win running 100% qb sneaks. Just win, but I would love to see a proficient passing offense.

Yep the O haters won't quit. They have a disease and they are what they are. If O can't get us to the next level he needs to geaux. Until that is absolutely proven to be the case with the test of time then he deserves a shot.

When it became crystal clear that Miles could not exceed what level he had already obtained I wanted him gone too like the majority of folks. And I was no Miles hater by no means and appreciated what good he did for the program. But the haters don't know the difference. They have to make up for what they are lacking as people. They are chitte and deep down inside they know it.

Ed Orgeron is still our head coach and Steve Ensminger is still our OC. It will be another 3 loss season.

Y’all do this to yourselves every year. tRant posters, the Dunning Krueger of college football.

EXACTLY why I said they will go ground and pound at the first sign of stress (see: Matt Canada).


Ensminger wants to throw the ball. It's in his DNA as a former QB. It's why he and Slocum parted ways at aTm long ago. A good offense has to be balanced. As good as Brees is the Saints threw it 52% of the time and ran it 48%.

Seven defeats in two years, but this year we win the west.

Love to see it, but it goes against five years of O being a HC.

What did Miles do before LSU?

The last couple of years with O at LSU aren't out of line with that...

I remember everyone said that Miles couldn't win without Sabans talent. It took a couple of years but he proved them wrong.

Bingo. Let’s not give Ed a fair shot because you hated the hire originally.

I agree 100%, haters don't understand that you can't expect a coach to realize success in three years or less. O just needs time to get his guys in there and to get his system in place. For goodness sake Miles left him with NOTHING!

Had a head coaching record of 28-21 (16-16 in conference) with two wins over top-5 Oklahoma and two third-place division finishes.

Compare that to O's prior record of 10-25 (3-21 in conference) with zero wins against top 25 teams and finishing no higher than 4th in his division.

Miles won the West in his very first season, then again in his third season, then again in his seventh. In his first eight years, he finished lower than second in the division just once, and it was third place.

Take over a program that was under .500 for the seventeen year period before his arrival and beat the defending national champion his first season and go to three straight bowls and end up eight games over .500.

I like how you want to compare what Les did at Oklahoma State in the situation he walked into with what O walked into at LSU. That's funny.

19-19 in conference, a terrible conference.

But of course it's easy to dismiss when you have a particular bias.

I've got a clue for you, coaches..like players, improve.

He was 16-16, but that's a distinction without a difference. Regardless, neither is as good as O's 3-21 conference record once you factor in all of the things O had to deal with. It's actually a miracle he was able to win 3 SEC games during his tenure.

I think o is a better coach than he was at Ole Miss, but really I think He just walked into a exponentially better situation.

He knows his limitations now, and has a ton of money to pay for guys like Aranda and Basically whoever he wants at OC.

I think LSU has elevated O way more than Onhas Elevated LSU so far.

I think So far he’s really just knocked down a few road blocks Les put up.

Recruiting is good but it was good under Les and Saban.

I hope the first play of the season is a toss dive. It would be a magnificent troll.

Bias would be you trying to act as if there is no difference between the situation Les walked into at Oklahoma State and O as LSU. That's a reach the likes of isn't even seen here very often.
