re: Letter to the Advocate - Unhappy fans

and we wonder why recruits decommit.

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

---

And at Ohio State, one of the truly elite programs in college football history, that's not good enough, and he got fired.

In nine seasons since then, they've been to BCS bowls about a hundred times, won a NC, played for two others, and have absolutely owned the Big Ten.

But by all means let's keep Miles at $4 million a year because he's better than Curley Hallman.

What a fricking loser.

quote:

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.

---

Yes, the different result would have been that, in 2008, they maybe go 11-1 in the regular season and win the west, while we maybe go 4-4 and still finish 3rd. In 2009, they probably still go 14-0 and we maybe go 10-3 and still don't win the west or play in a BCS bowl.

quote:

---

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

---

Why does he have to "get lucky" with his QB, while others simply recruit good ones and develop them?

quote:

---

a great QB can fix a lot of ills.

---

Yes, maybe Miles should recruit one and develop him.

quote:

---

How in the heck do you think Curley Hallman got this job in the first place?

---

Because the same bargain basement attitude that got Les Miles the job in 2005 prevailed in 1991, also.

typo:

"i hate you !!!!!!!!!!! Yoand everyone simpleminded like you!!!!!!!!!!!! "

Should read: "I hate you !!!!!!!!!!! You and everyone simple-minded like you!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I so sorry that I had the first typo on TD ever!!!!! and by the way Tigers rule The Earth go frick yourself.

please copy and paste where I said that agent99.

"I expect this team to be in Atlanta for the SECCG in 2010… I expect things to jell next season."

"9 wins isn't broke, just disjointed...of course he can turn it around."

Let me guess...you didn't use those words (w/emphasis) "onward and upward," exactly (w/emphasis).

please share how you KNOW this to be a FACT

Never said I did. I said if it looks like shite and smells like shite...

Maybe you need to take a reading comprehension course.

quote:

you writing those checks? Is keeping or not keeping Les Miles your decision?

---

Why the frick does this matter? Why does it matter where I do or don't put my money? How does my inability to shitcan Miles have anything to do with my position that he's not the right man for the job? Google "ad hominem." If nothing else you'll increase your vocabulary.

TigersRuleThe Earth,

Punching a bitch is like charity work I normally only do it once a year and I feel good about myself afterward!1!

Damn...Tressel is the shite.

The sad thing is if supposed "Fans" want the team to succeed next year, they would not be publishing a fire LM article in the Advocate. I don't believe you can argue out of both sides and say you want him fired at this point and want the team to succeed next year. To me, that's not a true fan. That's a poor person whose tired of being heckled by a family member or friend that lives in Alabama, Florida, or Mississippi. That means that is where your head is.

Two years with two different inexeperienced QBs and we end up here. Suppose they let him go now, then you would certainly lose recruits before signing day. At this point, LSU would suffer tremendously because the best options at coach are already signed with other teams. It absolutely makes no sense to complain at this point. It makes the best sense to see what happens during the spring and look forward. Yes, you're embarrassed to have a 8-4 and 9-4 record two years in a row, but it's not the end of the world. Should you be satisfied? No. Should you put it in perspective? Yes. That's what is missing.

After 2004, Saban left LSU by choice. Not solely because of the money, I believe it was because he was not happy here in these surroundings. Heck, one year he almost drowned to death here. He did not leave on top, nor did he leave with a stellar bowl record.

All you're setting yourself up for is for LM to actually succeed and leave on top. Then you'll be in the same boat as with Saban back in 2004. Once again not being able to appreciate not being in the Independence Bowl year after year and becoming Notre Dame. We are still better than that with a LM coached team. Maybe we need to get that supposed "Sure Thing" coach and watch the team win only six games in a year ladden with seniors. Or maybe we need to have that one coach come in go 12-0 or 13-0 and watch him leave within two years to realize that most high-profile coaches look at LSU as a stepping stone and not a home. Les Miles has treated it as a home. Unlike Saban who left, he turned down the Michigan job when given the opportunity. He believes in this team and this town despite all the crap he has to deal with from the nega-fans.

I wanted 10 wins this year, but I'm still optimistic because of how many games we were able to win with 2 different young QBs back-to-back. I like where we are because 8-9 wins is the result of a Les Miles down cycle as opposed to Curly Hallman or Gerry DiNardo. This is the down cycle.
