Let me get something straight...the 13-0 is more of a testament to our fabulous football players than the "brilliance" of our HCs offensive system.

Yep.

Keep on hating.


Tell you what birdman, I think you and those like you are pussies hiding behind a computer screen throwing out verbal shots at people. You don't have a nut on you and if you were in front of me you most surely wouldn't be so brave saying stuff like you're saying. THAT I know for a fact.

You want to disagree, that's fine. Want to prove me wrong, then do it with facts. Otherwise stop being a little girl and calling people names knowing they can't hit you back over the internet.

It still was within reach and he thought Jefferson gave him a better opportunity.


how does a man who accounts for 25 total yds of offense against a weaker defense (UGA) the game before...give you the better chance to win.

I'm sorry, the numbers , and reality, don't support that belief. You may enjoy being lied to, but I don't.

yes, yes it is. Lee accounts for less sacks per touch, and more yds than JJ.

Biggest criticism of Miles going into this game was his unwavering faith in JJ. So yeah, you can see why some people are a bit critical.

Listen to it again, dear sir. That better? He admitted it. That's all I'm saying.

Knock off the internet tough guy routine.

The reactions of everyone on this board is the EXACT reason why coaches don't beat down the door to coach LSU.

Yeah, the current one that led the team to a 13-1 record has to have something wrong with him.

Les explained his thinking multiple times. You don't have to accept it, so let's just move on

But I guarantee you there wasn't a single LSU fan (probably including Miles) that wasn't saying to themselves in the third quarter...."If we just put one score on the board, this whole game is about to change in our favor."


I know I was. Hell, I was thinking that with 10 minutes to play in the game. I was also thinking: "C'mon guys, we need to stretch the field." If Jefferson or Lee went downfield looking for Randle and single-coverage...even if they missed, it still puts that thought in Saban's mind. Knowing what we know about Saban, he would have tightened up like the a-hole he is, McCaron would have never thrown a pass the rest of the game, he would've went completely conservative on offense and defense. This is why I thought Lee was the appropriate choice in the 3rd, and definitely the 4th. He doesn't always make good decisions, but he does make decisions. I liked the idea of his quick release versus Bama's rush. Would he have gotten blown up? Of course. But he was our only shot, short of the staff calling plays and instructing JJ to air it out and not hang onto the ball. but I'd be surprised if not one coach on the staff between 2008 and 1/9/12 hadn't already given JJ that advice.

We played 2 teams with a top 10 defense.

We struggled MIGHTILY against both. (UGA and Bama)

And don't give me 42-10 bullshite either. we all know it wasn't the offense that busted that game open.

The problem was exactly what we thought it was all along, and feared would come to pass. LSU has another opportunity next year, hopefully Miles will learn to adapt more and not fixate.

ofcourse....who needs practice, drill, film study.

these kids could've just shown up on Saturdays right out of high school and won 70+ games.

the game is over, the press conference is over, move on

I wasnt the tough guy, and I didn't resort to calling names. That was you.

YES, that's much more civil, and I will, but I listened to the whole thing in it's entirity waiting eagerly to hear something, anything of substance, and didn't.


Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I sneezed and missed it, but I don't think I did.

your continual, and exclusive use of false dichotomies in your posts is getting tired.

Please develop a new strategy.

The two best defenses LSU faced, the offense laid down for the most part. MIles will have to be more flexible in the future.

Miles explained he messed up, his staff messed up, all the other stuff I already typed.

Let's move on.

If you guys really dislike Miles that much, get some signatures and get him ousted?I think the guy is the must trustworthy coach in SEC.This man loves LSU has great family values.Also he has done nothing but win since he has been here,what are you guys looking for? :geauxtigers: :geauxtigers: :geauxtigers: :geauxtigers: :geauxtigers:
