When Saban was HC at LSU he used the term "Catastrophe Syndrome" to describe LSU fans.



can you link this. I am so tried of hearing about this.
Sure I can. It's easy to do. You don't know how to use Google??

Following spring practice, segments of LSU supporters are experiencing a relapse of catastrophe syndrome.

Head coach Nick Saban was the first to put a label on the malady that leads sufferers to take what are normal, everyday occurrences in college football and blow them up into fatal concerns.

Most of all, Saban changed the way LSU fans looked at themselves and even gave the old way a name — “catastrophe syndrome.”

Scroll down to the 4th from last paragraph in the article

So...

If a WR is open in the end zone, and Harris overthrows said WR and gets WR killed, is that on Harris or on Les Miles?

Les called the play. The play, in essence, works. Harris doesn't "execute" a pass my 8 year old could make.

Fire the coach!

Fully agree. A team's demeanor more often than not reflects that of its coach. When was the last time this team showed an elevated level of intensity as a whole and played to actually beat an opponent and not just not lose or protect a lead? I'm not talking about individual celebrations or spirit. Compare that and Miles' sideline emotion and involvement along with the top tier coaches around. I know I'll be eviscerated by the worshipers here, but the intensity just does not seem to be there. That and Miles already claiming that no real change is needed is not encouraging.

Of course it's on Les Miles because the play didn't work. If the play worked it was all because of talent.

Spot on. It is blatantly obvious that the offense so confused and poorly coached. It really is sad to watch.

what is funny is that if you blame Harris missing this on coaching

you also have to give credit to coaching for the other 10 players executing properly

but of course, that never happens

if it happens once, yeah.. thats on the kid. if inaccurate and/or just bad qb play continues not only game to game, but year to year, with different qbs, thats on coaching. And even if it is the QB, its on recruiting.. why cant you recruit a competent qb? so again back on the coaches...

What was wrong with what he said? Defense, ST, and Offense still need to execute. If you call a fg, then the kicker needs to execute. If you hit the ball carrier for a loss, you need to make the tackle and not let him slip for more yards.

Why do people shite on everything he says? Y'all are seriously reaching here.

No one is celebrating anything. Again...you appear to be slow...the point being made that those with experience and knowledge and objectivity don't see it the same way as the dumbasses on here that only want LSU to fail as long as les is here.

You are making my point. I think Harris can make that pass and any pass. He's no Warren Moon but he should be able to hit on a lot of those passes. You can theorize whatever you want but the coaches are directly responsible for the execution failures. I believe with the proper amount of repetition and one on one coaching, Harris drills Dural between the numbers and LSU scores.

Or maybe its the leader on offense that is confused? Funny that the offense didn't look confused in 2013 with the same coaches.

* Penalties are rampantly out of control because technique is poor. False starts, illegal formations, holding, etc... Why does Miles accept this from his teams?


He has said more than once that he didn't necessarily think penalties were 100% a bad thing because it showed "a sincere want of effort" or some such nonsensical ridiculous bullshite.

LSU waxed Auburn. They faught extremely hard against UF. Tamu game the players were flying all over the field.

I swear, you people don't watch the fricking games or your too busy getting drunk and yelling at Miles the whole game.
