My concession about the state of the program

I've never been a "Negatiger", but neither have I considered myself to be a "Sunshine pumper". Probably a good bit closer to a sunshine pumper, but really somewhere in the middle.
I finally resigned myself yesterday to our lot in life with our current regime. I think Les Miles is a GREAT person and a really good coach. However, as recently as just a couple of years ago I had myself believing he was the best coach in the nation. Well, it is ABUNDANTLY clear that this is nowhere near the truth.
The funny thing is, when I say it happened yesterday, I don't even mean last night watching that garbage of a first half. It was actually while watching the first half of the Alabama-Tennessee game and thinking back to our game against Ole Miss. The Furman game last night was just the cherry on top I guess.
2011 was lightning in a bottle. I had hoped it was the beginning of a run of years of dominant play, but it was the exception and we are right back to where we were before it. The CONTINUAL inconsistency that this program shows on the field has finally just beaten me down and I'm conceding.
And of course, the true dagger is that sonofabitch in Tuscaloosa having that program humming along like a fricking MACHINE, just destroying teams, while we wallow around, playing down to Furman and losing to a depleted fricking Ole Miss. There is no fricking excuse for that bullshite!!!
I had hoped that 01/09/12 would just be a temporary setback and we would bounce back from it quickly. Turns out, it looks like it was just the beginning.
As much as I've defended Miles over the years and truly pulled for him, it just can't be denied any longer that there is one person and one person only responsible for the continued, infuriating inconsistency that we see on the field. And no, I'm not calling for a firing and I don't know who we would replace him with, blah, blah, blah. I'm just voicing my extreme discouragement as someone who used to be firmly in his camp. As for answers; Hell, I have none.

Not to mention the recruits we are losing out of Louisiana to Bama...have to keep all Louisiana talent, and that has not happened as of late...

We are like all the other teams, hoping to be compared to Alabama.

This should go well. Your thread title will get anchored however.

Pretty much the truth that the sunshine pumper choose to ignore and accept Miles mediocre performance by saying 80% ,most of the 80% came against teams that we should destroy any how

Sorry bud. Just saying what I feel. You'll be hard pressed to find a bigger fan than myself and I fricking LOVE LSU. Grew up in that stadium and have seen many of the all-time classic games there.
What I posted doesn't make me less of a fan.

Bottom line, he brings nothing to the table on game day. Guys like Spurrier, Urban and Saban bring a swagger and are able to take over X's and O's and put a talented team in a better position to win over an equally talented team. How can you justify that salary when you can't provide on pay day. Great guy, kids love him, he'd be an excellent recruiting coordinator or player personel guy.

It's really difficult for any LSU fan with eyes to dispute this.

There is only one Nick Saban.

I feel exactly as you do. I like Miles, think he is great family guy and would make a great college coach if college was truly amateur sport as it was 20+ years ago.
Now its a minor league. Now its a place where big arsehole coaches seem to do well.
I would love to see what Shiano could do at LSU but it won't happen. Miles isn't going anywhere until the cupboard is completely bare.
Alleva really needs to go first IMO
