re: Miles' general thoughts on the season...

You make me laugh at how utterly STUPID you are.... Talk all you want... You say the same shite all the time and it gets you nowhere... I have NEVER disputed ANY facts you have posted here... I am NOT your enemy... I am just trying to get you to see the light... There is more to football than just #'s... 

---

Little momma ' s boy, you're the laughing stock of this site. I know there is more to football than #'s and have never said otherwise, but when it comes to a measuring a coach's tenure their is nothing more important that wins and losses. No one will care or remember that our offense sucked after Mikes is gone. Coaches are measured by wins and losses and titles of which Miles has both.

quote:

---

And you keep talking about the FACT that LSU went 5-3 in the SEC this year... OH BOY!!!

---

I bring this up solely in response to posts saying we are getting worse each year in the sec because FACTS prove that statement to be bullshite. I'm not some dumbass that agrees with statements that are totally false. I don't care how many times I get called an idiot for posting FACTS.

I notice you don't want to talk much about how we were abused by those three teams and barely beat a shitty A & M team.This team has underachieved the last two years.. THOSE ARE FACTS........... 

---

Actually that's an opinion. That's where you get called an idiot. The above statement of yours is an opinion. What's not an opinion is we have a chance at a top 15 finish. Who expected lsu to go good last year when we were starting the second most freshman in the country? Only football idiots.

remember Bill Walsh for the NEW offense he created that changed the NFL more than his overall record... Sure he won 3 sb's...

---

No one would give a shite about the west coast offense if it wasn't backed up by wins. You act like the wins didn't give validity to that offense. Want to guess why more teams don't run a west coast offense right now?

One LSU was lucky to get into,

Do you apply this same reasoning to Saban and Meyer? MEYER backed into everyone of his titles and Saban has 1 title that he didn't have to back into. Unless you start the season ranked 1 or 2 and run the table you got lucky to get into the game. I love how you blast Miles for only having the best sec season in lsu history. We lost to bama. Get over it. Losing in a title games isn't some black mark on a coaches resume. It's amazing how much you move goal posts for Saban when he was here and you blast Miles for the same things.
Yesterday you said Saban only made 2 mistakes wheb he was here and he lost more games during his tenure than Miles has in the last 5 year.

does not exist. there is no such thing as a "3 loss program". 
that's just loser spea

---

It's actually factual. Miles inherited a program that had lost less than 3 games once in the last 5 years. I'm sorry that fact doesn't back up your opinion that Miles was given a top 5 program.

98-7 losses
99-8 losses
2000-4 losses
01-3 losses ( it's a shame Miles can't coach in a sec where 3 conference losses will win the west)
02-5 losses
01-1 loss
04-3 losses



So tell me again how Miles inherited this juggernaut program.

is if you look like a brainless idiot in doing so.

No its doesn't. Making a national title game and losing is better than not making the national title game. You have poster on here saying losing to bama was worse than losing to UAB. I guess Kelly,Spurrier,Jimbo,Stoops all have huge black marks because they lost worse than lsu did in title games.

Prove to me where I have blasted Miles for this..... It was the best regular season in LSU history.. I have said this numorous times...

He was a pretty good coach while he was here....

and you blast Miles for the same things.

---

AGAIN... I have blasted Miles for the talent he has wasted on offense the last two years... I don't care what he did 10 years ago... He has coached some great teams at LSU... No denying this... But the last couple years[which are all that really matter] LU has underachieved... AND its NO lock LSU finishes in the top 15 even with a win.....

These coaches didnt look completely overmatched though on the big stage. If we would have at least scored anything/crossed midfield/switched QBs...something to try and stem the flow, Miles would have come out of that game with some dignity in tact and more of the fan base still supporting him to some degree.

He basically looked similar in the 3 losses this year......deer in the headlights....no answer to what was transpiring in the game. Arky was toying with us for gods sake in our own stadium at night. Inexcusable.

What do you see has our problem in the passing game?
What do you see in games that you would do different?

---

We have the talent at WR.
We have the talent at QB...yes..Harris is talented but that talent has yet to be harnessed by the coaching staff....and the kids only been here for what 2+ years..I mean come on!!!!!

I believe the disconnect is with the type of passing patterns we run. We seem to throw deep or not at all. Very little in the way of throwing to the flats...we rarely throw slants or work the middle of the field with the TEs...most of our attempts at screens result in the ball being thrown behind the back or at his feet....hell we dont even try those stupid bubble screens anymore. I dont know if the coaching staff doesn't trust harris or doesnt trust the receivers but whatever it is has resulted in a "see spot run" mentality with our passing game that is very easy to dissect and defend.

Now THIS IS A FACT...

Where do you see this talent? His deep ball is the only thing he has shown that is above average.
His accuracy on short to intermediate throws isn't good.
His footwork in the pocket isn't good.
His ability to keep his eyes down field once his pocket gets muddy isn't good.

---

The passing plays that are called in the game are the plays that the offensive has ran successfully in practice. I'm sure the coaches have realized that Harris' deep ball is really great and his timing routes arent. If you were a coach and knew your qb had a great deep ball and a poor intermediate ball, which play would you call?

---

---

Because these are timing routes that have to be thrown even of the wrs doesn't look open. Clearly Harris doesn't trust himself and neither do the coaches. Most of the screens and flare outs have been off target.
It's hard to keep calling these type of plays wheb your qb is getting your skill position players lit up.

---

What it is is that our coaches know the strengths and weaknesses of the players more than we do. They don't call short or intermediate passing plays because our offense doesn't execute them well in practice. The reason they call plays with longer passing routes is for 2 reasons. Harris has a really good deep ball and it runs defenders away from the LOS and takes away defenders if Harris tucks and runs.
Now Harris' inability to complete simple timing routes is all on the coaches

The above statement is an opinion of the poster making the post. It contains no facts. It's like I'm talking to a 3rd grade
