No coach says his team played like shite. It's a slap in the face to the kids that sacrificed for that season.
I don't buy this, Ricky.
(And I know you got pissed at that one guy for calling you Ricky because that's not your name...but F it--your username is RickyDaddy, so I'm calling you Ricky, dammit).
A coach can choose his words carefully, but still admit he didn't like the way they played. I'm sure the players don't think they played well in November, so what's wrong with "WE don't think we played well?"
BTW, Merry Christmas.

Alabama prepared to stop Fournette at all cost and they succeeded.

I just have to laugh that I got 72 down votes on the first page for saying that the coach knows lsu didn't have a great season.
This fan base fricking sucks.
Hate to burst your little bubble, but that says more about how much you suck, not the fan base.

So it is your opinion that they only had to stop fournette. That's all they had to game plan for?

No. I want you to answer what was the only thing they had to game plan for, and what we ran.

No, that is all Miles came up with, so it was pretty much all they had to stop.

By the way, why don't you come up with your own questions and answers. You seem to want to argue with someone, so do it with yourself. You may have a chance then.

I know I am 16 pages late, but Miles is a goddamned retard and this is just more reinforcement for that fact.

So, the fact that we ran 23 rushing plays, and 22 passing plays says what exactly? That you didn't watch the game? You don't know what you're talking about? I often wonder where you guys get some of this. I'm really not sure if it's perception, or if you just get frustrated, turn off the game, and then repeat rant talking points.

If anything speaks to Miles' Dinosaur Thinking this does

But again, this was one of the most balanced games we have ever had in Les Miles' tenure at LSU with respect to rush/pass ratio. Why are folks still ignoring that fact? We didn't run over and over and over again.

16 pages? Is there another coach in the country that has every word he says picked apart by idiots more than Miles? I doubt it.

Why don't you post the sequence of plays instead of the overall play count and maybe you can argue that

In his last season as coach of the Falcons, Mike Smith look utterly bewildered on the sidelines. It was clear he was in way over his head. He had really good players on the field but was losing anyway, and he didn't understand why. As a Saints fan, I loved this!
This past season Les Miles has had the same exact look on his face when the camera would point his way. Comments like these only support this comparison.

The strength of group-think myth on this board can be frustrating. This poster is typical because while he recognizes something is wrong, he is incapable of understanding what it is.. so he just defaults to grammer-school football talk.
Dude, why don't YOU do this work, and post the play-by-play and your corrective recommedations? Many people who actually watch and analyze games have broken that Alabama game down over and over, play by play, failure by failure ... yet here you are ... again ... just repeating talking point crap garnered from some talking head babbling like a cretin.
LSU tried every play and sequence in the play book against Alabama. Alabama defensed it all with their base 3-4 almost the entire game, including in many of the few short-yards situations. And they did it with the base defense regardless of the formation, or situation that LSU posed.
It wasn't a matter of "one-dimensional," "stop the run or LF at any cost," "put 8-9-10-11 or 12 in the box" or whatever BS bromide football-challenged people want to throw out there to sound as if they have a clue about what was going down on the field.
The only thing Alabama did differently was play their "heavy" package on the DL a little more than usual. But that was situational.
So.. what should LSU have done about being so completely dominated (the score margin doesn't reflect the play on the field in my opinion)? The most telling moment of the entire Alabama game week was the presser after the game when Miles was asked what he could do different and he answered in effect... "I don't know."
Truth is, he doesn't know. It isn't being stubborn, or hard headed, or ultra-cautious. No, he genuinely doesn't know how to do anything else, or reorganize, or re-tool, or whatever.
It is time to fully grasp this point ... Miles doesn't know how to play the game any other way than the way he always has. And he doesn't know how to change or learn to do something different. He doesn't even know what is wrong.
Say what you will about Saban or Bryant... when they found their systems being outflanked, they found someone who could help them, or learned how to adjust. but first you have to recognize that something is wrong and have some idea what it is.

Yes. I haven't gone back and looked at the play sequence (and will not - too painful) but I suspect that a lot of those passes reflected in the raw totals occurred on third and long or at the point in the game where we were behind in the score and desperate.
Certainly no one who watched the game could honestly argue that we, for example, came out with the strategy of passing to set up the run, or getting the ball to LF in space. We were going to run it up their gut. This didn't work, but from my perspective, this strategy was continued long after it was painfully obvious that it wasn't going to work.
I think Jacknola summed it up and put a bow on it in his post. Whenever our power run game is stopped, as in the Alabama game, there doesn't seem to be a plan B, or any attempt to "outflank" the opposition as he put it.
Saban was sitting on our fastball. We knew, or at least should have known that. We didn't try to catch them off balance with a curveball or an off speed pitch. We served up a big fat fast ball right down the middle.
