By your standards, Miles is the definition of stupidity. He keeps doing the same thing even when it failed at the most crucial time. Not learning from your mistakes is about the dumbest thing to possibly do.

which one of the coaches that wins them all should he copy?
Fair question because no coach wins them all. What I say will be considered blasphemy, but do you think Nick Saban's game plan was the same thing they did all season long? It most certainly was not, they went pass first that night. Meanwhile Les stuck with what brought us there, and even after 3 quarters of no success continued to try it. Les miles weakness is his stubbornness.

Here's a flash. Talent wins games. Second line talent can't be compensated for by coaching "brilliance".
So if the talent is there and the wins are there, what's your gripe? Seriously what are whinning about?

2006 LSU Tigers just called.

Your point?

Probably our most talented team ever, yet we lost 2 games. I thought talent wins games, not coaching?

Yet our offense looked the same as last season. Run heavy with passing to keep a team honest
Yea i mean why would we want to run the same offense that went 13-1 with arguably the toughest schedule in cfb history, won the SEC, and played for a national title last year?
What an absurd notion.

no, and that's largely why they won the game, they found a hole in pass coverage and exploited it. I haven't defended Miles one time concerning that game. But Bama's weakness isn't a drop-back, downfield passing game. If you're going to beat them you're going to have to line-up and beat them on more plays than they beat you and not give them cheap points.
For the most part, Miles and Saban have the same philophy...pound the ball, limit mistakes and play great defense.

How many did they win? None?

You are a brave man for pointing that out.

The whole point is that it was Les Miles' vanilla offense and stubbornness that lead to the loss on 1/9.

That's the whole point. Saban saw, just like Miles, that they can run over most teams. However, they would need to be more balanced vertically against LSU and that is exactly what they did in the national championship. Now that light bulb has to come on for us in the same regard. I have said that Miles will definitely make that change as it was so obvious. Last night has returned the doubts for many. Obviously, the Bama game this year has yet to be played so no one knows how it will be called. But if his thinking is like yours in that, it has worked so often in the past therefore we can impose our will.... we will be in trouble again. Will agree to disagree.

again, the gameplan was horrible, but I doubt he could have called a good enough game given the QB's we had, that would have won the game vs. Bama's D. The reason Bama won was they didn't make mistakes or allow LSU the big special teams or defensive play that changed momentum...i.e. November.
Posted on 9/2/12 at 2:07 pm to ForeLSU
Nope, it wasn't about mistakes. It was them making plays down the field and our O was so incredibly easy to defend with equal talent.

Put me down as someone who is not even remotely concerned yet.

And you have concrete proof that runing a Jailbreak passing offense would have done better?
Ummmmmm where would LSU have gotten an Andrew Luck type passer? Wait in your view he wouldn't have helped because his Stanford team lost games?
Really man get over it. It's past. Done. Gone.

You agree it was a subpar game plan, we have improved at qb, yet we still stick to the old game plan. Why are people so hesitant to see an improved passing philosophy, it can only improve our running game. A game full of wr screens isn't gonna do Dick shite to prevent teams from loading up the box to stop our run.
