re: Question for the "Miles will change" crowd

I get venting frustration, but this is going on & on & on, with every criticism repeated over & over & over again. This accomplishes absolutely nothing positive for the program. Booger was all for CLM moving on & said so openly & frankly for several wks all over ESPN. But even he, one of CLM's most out spoken critics, has since said that CLM is now the HC at LSU & it is time to support him for the good of the program. If half the CLM's haters stayed into the 4th quarter of games these past few yrs, let alone even attended the games, this TS would be like the old one. And ask any of his players/former players, they all say he is off the wall competitive when between the lines. THAT is why he will do what is necessary and not just fold his cards & ride out his contract.

Less deserves every bit of criticism that he gets on this board. He's running a proud program into the ground.

No he isn't. Stop being a crybaby.

Actually, you directly contradicted yourself in the very next sentence.

You did try to excuse the invective as being the result of frustration. I would contend that it is still an invective, even if it may have been an irrational response to being frustrated with the direction, coaching, or performance of the football team.

Also, if you didn't see highly critical language in several posts, I would say your bias has clouded your comprehension.

We all want better outcomes, ultimately. Some think a coaching change is required, some do not, some are unconvinced either way. Some of the change proponents think anything is better than what we have, most rational people know it is not. I, like most, think we an get a very good coach to replace Miles if we go about it properly.

I think there were good intentions regarding getting Fisher but the people pulling the strings let too much get out too early, which probably means too many people were involved, and had no plan to deal with the inevitable blow back. When you let the situation get to the point that the Republican Governor and the Democratic Governor-elect agree the path forward is opposite of what you're working for, you have lost the PR battle.

How about we all just get to and hope that next year we at least win the West and hopefully go all the way. I also expect a better exit strategy for Miles will exist next year in the event things go south again.

I for one do actually hope Miles can turn it around and can retire here with at least 1 more National Championship Ring preferably more. I wouldn't say I'm optimistic, just hopeful.

Retired already.

So, whose fault is it if not CLM?

People love to talk about HIS winning percentage, but do not like it when you bring up his recent losing ways.

quote:

---

Why would a 62 year old man making 4 mill a year feel he needs to change what he's doing?

---

Les thinks his offense is the best way to win games. He's not going to suddenly change it. Especially when bringing back a junior QB with a Heisman candidate to run it. 9-3 is good enough to keep his job, and his offense is good enough to beat 9 teams on the schedule.

quote:

---

he get paid 15 mill to sit at home eating canes and going watch his kid's sports activities.

---

That's not actually possible.

quote:

---

We have a great shot to win 10...0r what would have been 10...exceeding most peoples pre-season expectations....yet you are on here blatantly bashing. Man.

---

We won 10 games because Auburn was down and not near as good as people thought. Miles almost gave Miss St the W with his conservative bullshite. On top of that, if Grier was the QB for UF then that's a loss there.
Miles can NOT beat teams at their best. Just like all you Miles defenders, he has to hope that the other team is having a down year so that we can beat them. It's pathetic.


In the last 10 games that Vegas has LSU as the underdog, Les has lost. He is 0-10 when not favored. That's pathetic.

quote:

---

Miles honestly believes his system will work.

---

It does except in November. And with a silly fan base that's obsessed with fool's gold -- it gives Miles all the validation he needs.

I've already written off next year. We will lose 3-4 games and not compete for anything meaningful.

We keep seeing the posts popping up with ways that Miles will change, wishful thinking OC candidates, who's leaving, who's staying, etc.,etc. The bottom line is that Miles cannot be expected to make any significant changes if any at all. Cam ain't going. BDP will probably be back. We have no experienced, quality QB depth to rely on, so that's not changing. Miles sees no need for change. How many times has Miles spoken of upcoming and needed changes, only to present the same product, maybe with a couple of half assed wrinkles, but still the same? Maybe he'll surprise us. I hope he does.
