Maybe it's the smash mouth approach, maybe it's the BigCat drill but there was an amount of toughness that Miles' team showed and Orgeron coached team lacks.

Miles being a head coach while Orgeron is a defensive line coach may have something to do with it.

Not everyone has the chops to be in charge.

Other than towards then end, at least players played hard for Miles. There was no lack of intensity for most of the teams we had.

We're at week 3 of his first season here and we're worried that these guys aren't playing for their coach. I have no idea what the cure is for a lack of energy.

Les had the ability to function as a head coach.

The number one thing Less Miles was, was that he was grossly incompetent. So I agree with you. Yea...we agree!

Experience in running a program with wining seasons before coaching at LSU is a big one.

Explain to me how a coach loses his team 3 weeks into his first season? That's gotta be a record.

Your guy admitted that practices last week were lethargic and after the game says we can't let this loss tear the team apart. Again, I remind you, this is the third week in.

I've actually been thinking about that and maybe that does play into what this team is about. Also Miles has been criticized for the length of his practices and one of the first things O changed when he became interim HC was that and it has continued now that he is HC. I'm not saying Miles' practices were not unduly long but the team never looked as gassed as they were at the end of the Moo State game. So: (1) bring back the Big Cat drill; and (2) get these players in better shape (I guess running off all those penalties will help)

So many people were so excited when O shortened the practices. We did see some improvement in game day energy.

Maybe the shorter practices are a great idea, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON.

I am of the opinion that the longer practices pre-season and for the first half of the season is a good thing. It helps us drive home the plays / schemes. But then shortening the practices as the season progresses helps to not wear out our players. By the halfway point our players damn sure better know the plays and run them effectively, all we should be working on is how to adapt our schemes to the next opponent.

Wasn't that one of O's biggest talking points as the interm? I feel like he constantly talked about how we didn't have enough time to overhaul the offense, we only had time to adjust our current plays.

Look man, this is silly. The guy appeared in two national championship games. You can't do that and be incompetent.

Flame away but Fleck should've been the man if it couldn't be Jimbo. That dude is serious.

I was extremely upset with Miles for not making a Herculean attempt to keep his job, as in changing offensive coaching staff.

Miles was fine. He only got fired because he would not change his offense and the results suffered via wins and losses.
