Let me see if I understand your thought process.

You see a 82% winning record for the past 3 yrs as a "undeniable tailspin' from a 72% winning record of 08, 09, and 2010...that right?

I don't see it, but then I don't see the cliff diving mode some go into on a regular basis.

Troll LSU fans until my wife says I can't play on the internet anymore.

That's his thought process.

Are the people who hate Les Miles trolling? You've got a great coach and a consistently good team. Reading these posts is like a psychological study.

There is a HIGHLY vocal minority that has always wanted him fired from day 1. These types really hate when people show pride or admiration for Les. But you're right, it is quite a psychological study. So much misplaced hatred on Les that stems from him not being Saban/us not being Alabama. Most people I know IRL that hate Les are pretty much generally unhappy people.

There was a big thread on the OT about people with kids getting rid of cable and if it's a good idea.

I pitched a fit when LSU hired him and wouldn't shut up about how much he sucked for his first three years. He's just won too much for me to justify anything close to that attitude at this point, and the people who still want him fired and think he's not a great coach are flat-out insane.

There simply is nothing that justifies an opinion that Les Miles should not coach at LSU for the foreseeable future.

Nick Saban seems like he'd be an arse. Les Miles looks like someone you could have a blast with.

If we don't REALLY clean up on signing day and then have another 3 or 4 losses next year, I'd start to get impatient. Other than that, I completely agree.

100%. I'd love to get hammered and talk about life with Les. Would be a motherfricking blast.

There could be some question marks at that point, yes, but LSU still will be a legitimate heavyweight contender capable of snagging the title.

Agreed. Hell, in our "tail-spin", you can take out 5-6 plays and we're in a BCS bowl three straight years (including 1/9). Or are we only allowed to use hypotheticals in a negative light?

Actually, there is a minority of fans who actually think he is a great coach.

That's fine. You guys that have your head in the sand and refuse to acknowledge the poor season ending results the last three years can pretend like it didn't happen.

Pretend like we not getting past the 50 in the National Championship game didn't happen. Pretend like we never even put in the QB that had got us to the National Championship when it was obvious that Jordan "kick em while they're down" Jefferson was tossing the ball right to Alabama linebackers.

Pretend like McCaron after the 2012 game didn't say after looking at game tape we knew if it came down to the 2 minute drill we were going to win.

Pretend like losing to Clemson in the Oh No We're going Back to the Atlanta Again bowl didn't happen.

Pretend like it's "just Football" we have enough talent to spank Auburn and A & M then lose to Ole Miss, Bama and look like total crap for 59 minutes against a godawful team like Arkansas. Including maybe costing Zach millions of dollars in the process cause we can't block god forsaken Arkansas defense with the game on the line.


Pretend like with the game tied at 17-17 in Tuscaloosa this year we didn't have the mental toughness to compete to the end with a team that was not more talented than we were.

Pretend like having having basically the same offensive line that showed zero improvement all year is gonna suddenly have the lights come on and be able to pass protect a totally inexperienced QB when we're breaking in all new receivers next year.

Pretend like we have a Coach that can handle the pressure of a two minute drill. Pretend like bizarre and bozo playing calling never actually happens.

Pretend like don't have as much talent as anyone in the country and have nothing to show for it the last three years except steadily worsening W-L record.

You guys enjoy the Outback Bowl, all ten of you planning to attend.

Go ahead and look forward to another Great Win Loss record and Bowl game next year too.

And obviously any sane person who looks at the big picture sees no tailspin.

If they win on 1/1/14, these seniors leave LSU having gone 44-9 in their four seasons on the field. The previous four years LSU went 40-13. There's a piece of hardware I really wish we had in Baton Rouge, but there's no tailspin. Somebody should tell Penny's wife that he's being bad so he gets a timeout.

Who do these people (the ones who grouse about Les Miles) want as the LSU coach? You can't have Art Briles.

Get the frick over it. I'm assuming you're a grown-arse man. Act like it.

McCarron being supremely confident and clutch is Les' fault? Got it.

Very dissapointing game, but means little in the grand scheme of things. I liked our gameplan and play-calling, just couldn't get the job done. Not to mention - We didn't want to be there, Clemson did.

It is "just football" you numbnuts. Do you think that EVERY favorite wins EVERY time and EVERY underdog loses EVERY time. Open your fricking eyes and stop with the willful ignorance.

Explain to me how Bama isn't more talented than us. I'll wait.

Again - What? How about that 2-minute drill against Arkansas? Or was that Cameron who did that? Oh, that's right. All the good stuff is Cam, and all the bad stuff is Les. How silly of me.

You're literally going out of your way to be negative for no reason here. Sad. There's a good chance we'll have a new OL coach next year and everyone will have another year of experience. Plus, a mobile QB can mask deficiencies in pass protection.

I wish I could go, but I can't. And I'll enjoy the shite out of it on TV. Because I'm an LSU fan. Which means, I enjoy watching them play football and cheer for them and hope they do well.

Yeah, that would suck to have a great win loss record and go to a bowl game.
