re: Letter to the Advocate - Unhappy fans

Here is a link to John Coopers career at Ohio St. Last two conference records are identical to LSU's last two.

I just don't get how more people just don't truly understand college football today. It's about talent and your QB. Les Miles will never be a Curly Hallman because he can RECRUIT! If you can round up all the best talent you don't have to be the best X and O guy in the game...far from it. Don't belive it? Check out how well Bob Stoops and Pete Carrol did this year without a good QB. How come Nick Saban couldn't dominate at Michigan St? How come Spurrier is pedestrian at USC? The best coaches in the game can't win unless they are at places they can recruit. First you have to recruit well and then get lucky with your QB. AND your schedule. How about if we swapped schedules with Bama the last two years and let them play Fla twice and we play Tenn twice. Anyone think there wouldn't have been a different result. The thing that makes most of the nega tigers on here so tiresome is that they don't really understand the nature of the college game today...or really football in general. They have a simplistic view of the game that generally parrots TV announcers or sportswriters opinions. This is evidenced mostly in their take on the end of the Ole Miss game and the Penn State game. Find me a sportswriter who has ever played or coached the game and you have a true rarity. It would take me a book to explain how most are ignorant about the end of those games...and it would do no good as negatigers and rantards rarely listen to logic or real world football explanations.

At the end of the day, it will not come down to Les Miles football acumen. It will come down to whether or not he can continue to reel in top ten recruiting classes and then get lucky with his QB. RP hurt us and JJ is just "OK" and until we improve at that position we will continue to see results that are less than satisfactory. But a great QB can fix a lot of ills. How in the heck do you think Curley Hallman got this job in the first place? Remember a guy named Brett Favre?

I only read the first 2-3 sentences of your post.
Thats all I needed to.

I agree.

your right polar bear. i wanna hire mike leach

I bet you couldn't keep a straight face when you typed the above sentence. Danfraz, you are amongst the biggest Miles Apologists on the board. Everything you write is an Ode to your confidence/man-crush in/on Miles.

You say you've never expressed your belief that Miles is the right man for the job and that his work product warrants the amount of money he makes...Yet you criticize a letter to an editor (calling it an embarassment) that criticizes Miles for being overpaid and unfit to coach the LSU football team. And I have suspicion that come October, you'll come around to my way of thinking. Then we can both be fools.

The national media aptly dubbed the Penn State game as “The Dummy vs. the Mummy.”

Well I preferred "Joe Pa versus Faux Pas" anyway.

Your an idiot and clearly have a problem with reading comprehension.

Feel free to rant and rave about how the current head coach should be fired. With a career record of 51-14 at LSU.

It was a embarassment. Please explain how that letter helps LSU football in anyway whatsoever?

Child please, I have a clear conception of reality and understanding of how things in the world work. Something you and the Les Miles Must Go after a 8-5 and 9-4 season do not get. No one on this board has any idea how next season will play out, all your ranting about how you "know" the future is doomed shows how little you really know

Really? I'll just let everyone else read your posts in this thread. I'm surprised you're in denial. No I'm not. You still think Les is gonna turn the ship onward and upward. Nope, we'll be the same team next year, and the year after that, and the year after that, until 4 and 5 star recruits figure out that they're never gonna be able to play for a national championship because Miles will never beat Meyer or Saban. You can call my guesses doom and gloom, but if it looks like shite and smells like shite...

Never said it did. But it won't hurt LSU football as much as keeping shite for brains around for another 3 years.

No, you clearly fricking don't. I called you out for being the Sunshine Pumping Miles Apologist you are, and you say I'm not reading your posts well enough. I cite how you've criticized a letter by calling it an embarassment and praising those things that are the antithesis of the authors points, and you say I didn't really understand what you wrote when you called the letter an embarassment. Cause it sure as hell looks like you think Miles is the right coach for the job and that his performance warrants the cash he makes.

Its true...everywhere I go or talk to people that aren't from Louisiana always brings this up...

Its embarrassing, seriously. We'll get on the subject of Football eventually about the SEC. When we get to LSU they'll always say, "so LSU has some talent, they get some of the top recruiting classes every year with Bama/Florida."

*moment of silence between us*

They respond: "Good thing for the rest of the SEC they have a coach who can't manage the clock. Is he hiring a clock assistant yet?"

Exactly what this board needs...more Nostradamus'
