Some of you guys are starting to sound like the BAMA fans you always make fun of. So think about that one for a minute.
Best part of a great post!
I'd like to see 10 pages too, so here's another bump.

I just read the title of your post and my reply to you is WGAFF what you think.

I think he's a great recruiter, as far as star ratings go. If he makes the right hires/decisions on his staff, I think LSU will be back to competing for the West next year.
A great recruiter who surrounds himself with top notch assistants = a great head coach.

Pretty sure he was trying to reply to BamaScoop, but I could be wrong.

He made 2 decisions that, in combination, probably cost us 2 games. Maybe 3. He put the guys in charge of the defense who weren't ready to do the job they were presented with. And he kicked RP off the team. Hindsight is 20/20, but only 1 of those decisions, at most, was a "mistake."
LM made 3 bad decisions IMO, and those decisions cost us more than 2 or 3 games this year. In fact it could be argued that they are the reason for all the losses this year. (although i think, no matter what we lose to FLA in the swamp)
1 - Co-DCs - this alone could be the blame for 2 or 3 of the losses this year.. Bad Decision
2 - Not kicking RP off the team alot earlier.... he had pleanty of reason and opportunity. This decision, IMO, has affected the whole team. They saw how many chances RP got.. Bad Example
3 - Knowing the head case that RP was, not recruiting and preparing another QB as a back up plan.. Even if RP is on the team this year, you're one play away from having to play a RS freshman or a true freshman.. Bad Planning

NO contingency plan-- a weakness for Les- he needs to learn to develop this area

Yeah, I never understood the "winning with Saban's players" thing. We would have just about the same roster whether Miles is here or Saban. With either, we get most of the players that we want from Louisiana and a few blue chips here and there from other states.

yep and right now we are sitting on the number 2 recruiting class

It is not the fan's job to assist the coach. We are not employees but rather customers. Customers do business with vendors who provide a quality product for a value price.
When customers perceive their product value or service level has dropped- they become discontented customers.
First step is always to voice your concern to your vendor and give them an opportunity to correct the problem- that is where the LSU fan is today
If problems are corrected next season- all is well

He's right. And may I also mention that bashing our Head Coach DOES NOT HELP WITH RECRUITING. And before everyone gets all pissy and says well then I don't want so and so here anyway if they care what we post on a message board...shut up.
Whether you believe it or not, you are hurting the team you claim to love. And recruiting is that team's lifeblood. More people read these boards than you think. Both dmitch and Sonny have said that multiple times.
We can disagree with him, dislike him, whatever. But he's our coach.
And as Ric Flair once said, "Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because it's the best thing going. WOO!"
While I liked Scoop's post, this one is more important. I agree 100%.

Les is a quality person, no doubt about it.. but he has made some BAD decisions....

When he was faced with the undaunting task of dismissing our star-in-the-making QB I'm sure he knew that we were facing an uphill battle on offense from that point. But it was the right thing to do.
quote:
When he replaced our defensive coordinator with coaches already on the team, I'm sure he felt it was a decision that could work. Hindsight has shown that it was a bad decision and one that he now realizes.
Question, what will you say about Miles if he doesn't hire a new DC?? If he relizes it was a mistake, surely he will fix it, righ??

LSU=AWESOME
Why did Les win more with Saban's players then Saban did?
What has Saban done? He won with Gerry D's players at LSU and now he's winning with Shula's players at BAMA?
I think Saban's a great coach, but you can't say something about Les when Saban did the same thing. O and not to mention Les kicks f*ck up's off his team unlike what Saban's doing at Bama.

Before LSU was an elite program, Saban still managed to pull in three elite classes (2001, 2003, 2004). The 2001 class was the backbone for the 2003 national title, which was awesome to see because LSU still didn't have a tremendous amount of depth at the time since we were still relatively irrelevant.
A lot of our success from 2005-2007 is due to the 2003/2004 classes (which were #2 and #1 I believe). Les isn't a hack or anything, but really, winning with those high character and talent guys isn't that hard. Saban never had the benefit of the overall talent and depth Les was able to coach. He had some great individual players, but never the depth.
quote:

When people say this, it's really a compliment. Neither Dinardo or Shula were good coaches. They both recruited decently, but not at an elite level. Saban did similar things for LSU that Pete Carrol did for USC. Bama had more talent than when he took over LSU, but the depth on his team last year and this year wasn't very good either. Bama had, what, 9 scholarship seniors this year? That's due to poor coaching and managing of a team by Shula, yet Saban went undefeated in the regular season with a team mostly made up of underclassmen.
quote:

I think Les' success is more so due to him having great leaders and talent than his own coaching ability. Is it coincidence that once all those stars and leaders are gone, the wheels fall off? I'm not talking about wins and losses, but rather a complete disinterest it seems by the team. He now has his players in at LSU. His philosophy and his coaches are here now. We're 7-5. I'm not overly optimistic about the future.

I'm not sure what you mean with this, but I'm not really up on Bama's arrests or problems.
