re: Quit bashing Miles

I've said this a few times already, you people who have self appointed yourselves to be the happy fan police really should just take a few weeks off from Tigerdroppings, or just go to OT or Movies/TV board.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being content with LSU. I wish I was.

But most of us are still very, very angry and need to vent.

Coming on this board and attacking the fans and starting drama from within is not helping the matter at all. You're not going to say anything enlightening that is going to force a sudden change of heart. Just let us vent, please. Thanks.

vent away

not trying to judge anyone, just adding my opinion to all the others.

I am unhappy too. I hate that we lost to Bama. I am disappointed in certain aspects of the coaching the past few years. I am in the crowd that feels this coming year, with JJ/JL gone, will tell the tale for me. If it is a mess again, then I will be ready to start hatin.

No, a woman would not be able to understand how the man could be so pissed off from an LSU sporting event.

You got it backwards.

Bama not only whipped us on the scoreboard = they sapped our spirit because we tossed in the towel.

Yep, people are upset because it appeared that Miles was going down with the ship rather than fighting, and did appear to give up early in the 4th quarter. At least the appearance of a fight, a change, an effort. But it didn't happen.

blazing---stop using the word moron to describe people who disagree with you. Football is now a money game and the LSU fans have spent a great deal in supporting their team, and most assuredly deserve a better showing than the one they got last Monday night. Miles unbelievable game plan was destined to lose, and if you watched the game you knew five minutes into the game it was over. LSU fans deserve better. Of course you do not run Miles out of town, but he should be brought to explaining his unbelievable stubborness when it comes to Lee.

How can anyone say anything less than Miles is incompetent in pressure situations on game days? He is not a good gameday coach. Plain and simple. For all the things Miles does well, being a gameday coach isn't one of them.

I would also point out that Georgia Southern in their second season of football made 14 first downs and gained 341 yards against Alabama. LSU should not have had to beat Bama again, but let us hope that the BCS makes needed, badly needed changes.

I do, however, feel that the group that is claiming he never was and never will be a good coach, and all that extreme jazz, are

all bandwagon fans.

That game was ALL on Miles.

See if he lifts the Crystal one more time let alone 2 more times let his opponent did.

He fricked up BIG

I don't think it is bashing Les Miles to say

- Zero adjustments were made on the offensive side of the ball
- Our defense played Championship football and our offense played JV ball
- The difference between playing ability betweeen JJ and JL is miniscule when compared to the difference between either one of them and a good QB (and I only bring this up b/c of your 1 TD / 7 INT quote)
- I've never seen a Miles coached team be that flat in a bowl game
- I've never seen a Miles coached team be that outplayed
- I've never seen a Miles coached team employ a strategy that was that ineffective
- I've never seen a Miles coached team that didn't have some wrinkle/adjustment to at least TRY

I still like Miles. I still think he is a great football coach. I wholeheartedly agree that he knows exponentially more about football than I do. What I cannot fathom, is how when it was obvious to everyone else that I have talked to - even die hard JJ supporters who thought he was Mike Vick or Vince Young - that JJ was not the answer that night we didn't try anyone else. What's the goal there to lose by less? If so, then you gave up. When I'm competing against someone, if everything I'm trying is going to fail without a doubt I going to try some remaining options no matter how stupid/crazy (and I don't think trying the QB with the highest efficiency rating in the SEC and the one that got you to 8 - 0 beating most of the teams that made you such an esteemed competitor in the first place is stupid or crazy) they may seem to some.
