if he goes 10-2 or better then he's done a great coaching job obviously
If you think going 10-2 will shut these asshats up you're waaaaay off. These guys will be bashing away even if we win it all. Not to mention crying about people defending Les for going 10-2

And those networks and tabloids and articles aren't being written by "negatigers." They are predominantly being written by outside parties. I truly doubt that those writers are deciding that LSU can or can't play in the SEC based on a website.
No, thet are basing it on perception to the way they think the fanbase feels about their team. Their job is to sell mags and papers and commercial space on TV so they are going to these message boards another forms of communication to get the feel of the fanbase.
Can we as a fanbase change that perception yes we can and that is making possitive posts about our team. You go on those other teams boards and make sure that what gets out is mostly possitive post and not all negative the way we are here as fans of LSU. Go on another board and try to put down their team and you will get banned in a hurry. They do not put up with all the negatisum on those boards. Look at the rules on this board and one of the first rules is do not make negative posts about the Coaching staff or the players, but you do and even by some of the admins do it also, so they can't ban you for doing it when they do it so it opens the door for what we have now.
You will not come on this board and post a possitive post about LSU without being rediculed for doing it and to me for this being an supposedly LSU board you would never know it.

Moreover, I haven’t seen any realistic tiger fans calling for the team to lose to prove a point. However, I seen plenty of realistic tiger fans calling for better coaching so the team can win more games. Furthermore, exercising ones right to unhindered freedom of speech without hindrance from insane codes of political correctness being imposed doesn’t harm the team, it is only morons who want to impose their idiotic forms of political correct codes on others that are stupid enough to make such asinine suggestions.
So it is ok for you to post negatively and not for us to post positively? All we are saying is that there is nothing going to be gained by all this negative posting right now but give the National perception of LSU as being a poor program and you all know that is not so.
All this negative posting hurts the recruiting the young men we are trying to bring to LSU so as not to effect the level of talent on the team. No it may not make our team better with this Coach but that will be corrected at season's end. But, it will help the next Coaching staff that does end up here and no none wants that because it will effect the way the next Coach is able to win games.
This negative posting hurts in more ways than not all you do is listen to the national networks and they tell you during their reports that even the fanbase is saying their team is not good enough to compete and that comes from boards just like this one.

I think that many are misconstruing the frustration that many posters have with the play and preparation of the program over the last 2 seasons as a desire to see LSU fail. That couldn't be further from the truth.

Dead Fish I agree 100% with what u said, but half of the people on this board are happy with LSU being like Vandy. 
Posted on 8/4/10 at 8:49 am to Jack Burton
Agreed!
Posted on 8/4/10 at 8:51 am to cajunjj
Disagree. I remember the lean years. Few, if any, liked that. We couldn't recruit, we couldn't practice well, we certainly didn't perform.
Few want a Vandebilt kind of life.

, because you would prefer to keep LSU mediocre
There is nothing "mediocre" in a being the 3rd best team in the most powerful college football conference in the NCAA or finishing as a nationally ranked team in all the polls.
It's called the Top 20 of football and not the "medicore" 20.
We got invited to play in 2nd best bowl SEC teams can go to out of 9 bowls choices, but you see that as "mediocre". While that is your right, my right is to call BS on that and most of your other anti-LSU ranting.

So you'd be happy with four losses every year and a Top 20 finish?

What I am is mature and rational enough to understand that you don't piss on a season with 9 wins, a major bowl bid, and a national ranking.
LSU has bettered 9 wins 7 times in the last 40 yrs and 3 of those times came under Miles.
If you want to, knock yourself out.

No.
Maturity comes at different times to different people. You will learn that when it comes to you.

It's because the team appears poorly coached and prepared, many game day mistakes are made, games that should have been won were lost, and the coach has a poor public perception in the media and nationally. It isn't any of the things above that you've dreamed up in your latest pseudo-psychoanalysis that's worth about 25 cents.
You're wasting your breath. These people are not coming from the same place you are and you'll never convince them. The motivation that drives them is not out and out fandom for the LSU Tigers.
I'm sure their motivations are diverse - it could be that Miles would not shake their hands in the bathroom at Walk Ons; or that they still can't accept tha Saban left for the Dolphins and ended up in Bama; or maybe they had another favorite candidate for the head coaching job; or perhaps a prep player they know or like was not offered a scholly; or their favorite player has not gotten the playing time they think he deserves; or one of a million of other things. Bottom line, is you can read their posts and get enjoyment out of them and even engage them in conversation but I think it's a mistake to think that they are open minded enough on the issue to ever be convinced that they're wrong.

Exactly.
And also perhaps we just have a different opinion. So shut up OP.

On the other hand, critical analysis of the coach putting pressure on him to be better has no affect at all....which is it?
You only want the critical posting to count for something when it supports your viewpoint, but dismiss it outright when someone brings up the possibility that it just might be fan pressure on the administration and coaches that could light a fire under their asses to prove us all wrong?
