I think the reason so many are responding the way they are is exactly because they don't see the point of being critical with Miles.

I mean it's not like the man is losing games while remaining loyal to a defensive coordiantor who insists that Thomas Dunson be a 'drop linebacker' or some shite...

I think Miles' record suggests that he will. He certainly did not put a leash on Russell in 2006 and really didn't put much of a leash on him in 2005 even when JR was making more mistakes. He certainly "let it rip" in the Sugar Bowl against ND and the 2007 offense with Flynn and an excellent run game was the best in school history by statistical measures.

Why the frick would we want to have an air attack in the second half of a game that we are dominating up front.

We have an advantage up front with our oline and rb. Why not take advantage of it.

Please Stfu. YouR shite is getting boring.

also, this is the reason we are able to get great non conference games. CLM is a class act and we dont run up the score...sure we beat down people but opposing schools appreciate that we do not embarrass them (opposing OOC coaches have made comments like this before)

eta: no teams want to play USC's of the world because of stupid shite like this

Les Miles is one of the classiest coaches in cfb.

You're SUPPOSED to like that.

i seriously doubt that other coaches could have gotten more out of jj and jl. some qbs are better than others and it really begins to show at the college level. however, some people simply do not like coach miles and every mistake he makes is magnified and brought up over and over again. overall, he is one of the best hc's lsu has ever had and maybe the best. sorry that he's not perfect; his mistake being he signed 2 qb's that just didn't have what it took to go all the way. those are rare. hopefully, mett is one of them.

Good points all. Maybe the JJ/JR thing is some weird statistical anomaly. Would love to learn the back story one day.

Agree completely which makes 1/9 all the stranger. Probably just a miscalculation on his part. It happens and I am sure he learned plenty from the experience. Looking forward to a great 2012 and more idiocy from the denizens of this vaunted board.

Then, why do you keep bringing 1/9 up?

What else can be gained from bringing it up again and again and again?

Basically, our fans who want way more passing are bored with the way Les Miles runs the ball.


We all want what we want and what I want the very most is to have a healthy Mett for all 14 games.

I think the best way to have that happen is run the ball down opposing teams throat, when we can, and use play action passing to help keep the D off Mett/playing honest as much as possible.

So, I can live without the excitement of a more open attack if it helps keep Mett healthy.

you must not have watched Jamie howard throw 4 ints @ Au when we were up by 21 and lost the game in the second half.

you must not have watched florida, coached by s.s., against Au in 1993. He's up by 6 late in the fourth and throw's, (to run up the score) au ints, Au wins. Florida loses out on a chance of n.c.

Tenn. 1998, s.e.c. championship game. Arkansas has the game won. Clint Sterner drops back to pass, loses his balance, fumbles, Tenn recovers. Wins the game and n.c.

You secure the win. you don't "practice" in a game. The game is to win or lose, not experiment. Practice is to practice.

What did work against Alabama last year? How did ArKANSAS' passing attack work? What type of atack gave Alabama its only defeat last year?


Here's some advice for ya. Go home. Learn something about football. Come back. Post again.

I just hope that LM takes advantage of all that the personnel on this team have to beat teams like Bama the next time


We beat Alabama 2 of the last 3. In 2010 the key play was a long TD pass. In Nov last year, the first FG was set up by a long pass that should have been a TD, but it was under thrown and the WR turned the wrong way. In the BCS CG, there were long passes called, but the QB didn't make the throw.

There is a difference bewtween criticism and message board trolling/flaming. You are in the later category, when you keep harping on the same thing (1/9, bad QB's) over and over and over again. When you question whether the coaches will thrown more and ignore what they did with better QB's, you demonstrate that either your are a moron or just flaming.

Questioning that they should throw more in blow outs, because you are not satisfied they have practiced enough is also not a valid criticism. They do not have to throw 50+ passes a game to prepare for Alabama. That game will depend on what team executes and makes the fewest mistakes.
