I know a lot of Miles supporters like to spout off about his record at LSU, I'll be the first to admit that it's impressive, but I'm looking at an alarming trend and wanted to get your opinion on it...

His "used to be perfect bowl record" is now 1-3 in the last 4 with 2 of them being embarrassing loses and the last 5 loses to teams in the top 12 at the time of the game. I understand that those 5 loses were over a 3 year period but my question is simply this... Are the elite teams/coaches figuring out Les's weaknesses and taking advantage of them to a point that LSU is now at a disadvantage when facing them?

it doesn't take much to figure his offense out...

just read offense for dummies at barnes and nobles and you should be good to go

I like Miles, but this is what is hard to swallow for me.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying his losses are to teams that are at least in the top 12?

He's been figured out, thats why the vanilla offense has sucked for 5 years. Only reason he has a job is because of Chavis carrying his arse this whole time.

I think so, But that would be a good thing. Means we aren't losing to nobodies.

Hasnt it been pretty obvious he has been figured out? I guess to most rational people it has. Not that hard a forumla to start with. Stop the run, make them beat you with the pass, and wait for miles to make his usual 3-4 mind-numbing calling decsions each and every game.

If everyone hasnt already figurted it out... Miles is an idiot, plain and simple. His post game interview "answers" should explain everything. When you have a site devoted to stupid shite you have said, you are an idiot.

I'm saying that in recent years when playing "elite" teams with "elite" coaches, his win/lose record is taking a hit...

Are these "elite" programs figuring out Les and putting LSU at a disadvantage in these games? if you go back to the 09-10 season of the 9 loses all but 1 were to teams ranked in the top 12 when we played them, LSU scored on average 13pts per game. This is during a period of time that LSU has been considered in the top 2 or 3 talented teams in the country, does that help clear up the question?

Miles has had a reputation as being able to get his teams up for big games and having them ready to play with extra time to prepare, is that still an accurate repuation?

In Spanish, there is a saying...
Cria fama, y acuestate a dormir"

"Make Your Fame and Lie down to sleep"

Miles has created his reputation (fame),
he is now asleep.

It's not rocket science
Put Ford in here comes the toss sweep
Put Ware in run up the middle or guard him coming out of the backfield (where was that play Mon night), or the little slip screen
Put Shepard in (if ever) here comes that end around
You don't have to guard the TE's - there only blockers
You don't have to guard Boone or Wright, because Landry and Beckham get most of the targets
