We DID compete for the conference title this season.

We were very much in the hunt.

bullshite. We lost an 8-game race by three fricking games plus a tie breaker, and were eliminated a month before the SEC championship game. That's not "in the hunt".

People say compete for and what they really mean is WIN. Expecting that every year is unrealistic.

By your idiotic definition, Vanderbilt "competes" for the SEC title every year.

Letter to the Advocate - Unhappy fans
Jesus H. Christ....im really starting to hate the LSU fanbase.

Perhaps the feeling is mutual.

Well, we were one play away from beating Bama till they kicked that FG with bout 3 mins to go in the game.

Yea, we were one play away from getting beat by MSU and going to the Liberty bowl.

I hate the shoulda woulda coulda crap. You saw what was on the field.

Wow...you will say anything to bash Miles. Did you even read those links? You're a sad, sad little man.

51-15 record we have going over the last 5 years.

---

lets look at that a little closer... one of the losses is a non conference loss so, 14 conference losses in miles tenure. the last two years we were 8-8 in conference. that means in Miles first 3 years we had 6 conference losses and in his last two years he's had 4 conference losses each year. Average 2 conference losses per year his first three years, and average 4 conference losses per year his last two... and we pay this clown nearly 4 mil a year?????

People like this are humiliating.

I agree.....

Wow...you will say anything to bash Miles

and you will say anything to defend him....

Time management is merely another symptom of the bigger problem. LM may well be a nice guy, but when you stubbornly refuse to change the offense, after finishing last in the SEC and 112 in the nation, you're telling me not to have much hope for next year.

LM and Crowton returning, a very young defensive front 7, and the inept offense. Sounds like a recipe for a 6-6 year to me.

That's Les Miles definition as well. And therein lies the problem. We have a whole lot of 'want', and not a whole lot of 'will'.

Hyperbole:
-The tragedy of the “Meltdown in Mississippi” is that there was no meltdown. The world visualized lack of preparation and inability to adapt, tempered with incompetence.
The country learned (what everyone in the SEC already knew) that LSU coach Les Miles is way over his head. In all human endeavor, you get what you tolerate. We have tolerated the insanity that is Les Miles for too many years. Our program is in free fall.
-We have a duty to demand the termination of Les Miles. He has coached our very talented players into underachievers.
He has embarrassed LSU and our state. MIM was not poor clock management. It was ignorance at the rate of $4 million per year. And we are paying the bill. We demand better.
Offensively, there has never been a game plan, a scheme. Random would be a compliment to the play-calling. Defensively, “bend, don’t break” keeps the score low, but it does not get you off the field.
- The failures are systemic, and they start at the top.
The secret of MIM is twofold. First, it is not a secret. The national media aptly dubbed the Penn State game as “The Dummy vs. the Mummy.” Second, it did not start at Ole Miss. It started the day Les Miles was hired. We get what we tolerate. Les Miles must be terminated.
It is time for the humiliation to end. The athletic director asked for his job. He should do his job.

Everything in that post was true. You can call it hyperbole, because of some of the terms he used in exaggerating his point, but the core basis of everything that he wrote is true. If he just took out some of the more controversial terms like "insanity", etc., there would be nothing you could find in that letter that wasn't factual, other than his opinion, which is Les should be fired, which he is entitled to.

I will not defend Crowton because i believe he should have been fired...but just because Miles kept him does not mean he is not changing the offense. He's brought in two new offensive coaches and has repeatedly said in recent interviews that he recognizes the problem.
