re: same old rant problem regarding miles

You think Bama and Auburn care about # of wins vs actually winning things?

I fully acknowledge that bama has been better but, they're the only team with that claim. auburn hasn't been better, maybe equal with one more championship win, same number of appearances plus the bad seasons. I think they look better now but, lsu will look better historically. moreover, it remains to be seen if they can keep up with lsu's pace of high win numbers.

getting into the ncg isn't in the hands of the team. even if a team goes undefeated, they can get left out. auburn '04 is a perfect example. how much a team wins is in the hands of the team. that's why I think the team that wins more consistently will be looked on more favorably in the long term.

the perspective is no more SEC championships or national championships

first, miles isn't done as lsu coach. he might win another sec championship. second, he's already had as much as anyone not named saban and his last was just 2 seasons ago. his legacy is already secured.

btw, are we really criticizing him for not winning ENOUGH national championships in this era of the sec west? honestly, that's unreasonable

Last night we lose big if Wisc does not lose that Nose Guard, plus they lost the other lineman early

I don't agree.

Without more, Les Miles won last night on talent, good fortunes for other team losing a few key players and his def coordinator making great changes.

OH MY GOSH THIS WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!! how many years of this has to happen before miles is actually A GOOD COACH? he's beating the best competition every season despite massive losses to the nfl.

i'll say it again, if your description is right, then the sec isn't the toughest conference and/or miles is not playing the best competition. it's just plain illogical and I can't understand why people don't see that.

his coordinators making some changes

so wait, the coaches are actually good? what are you saying? miles wanted to lose but, they somehow convinced him otherwise? you know miles coaches with them right? he's in gameplan meetings with them all week. how can they make good adjustments and he's just completely uninvolved. people will say anything to prevent giving miles ANY credit. it's unbelievable.

I just don't get Les Miles. I personally think that he is getting to comfortable. We play close games with teams that we should just destroy. I never hear anyone challenge him. Why is it that we don't destroy teams on the scoreboard or in the game. I'm just tired of games like this. We need to let him no that even though he is winning games; it's not acceptable.

Wait, seriously?

Why would we take advice from someone who writes "we need to let him no" anything?

So tired of the excessive, over-the-top bitching about the most successful coach ever at LSU. He is still winning, so let it go. This is the greatest era of LSU football EVER. Of course he could do some things better, and I am certain he would admit the same, but for all of our sake, stop with the, "Les has got to go," crap.

ETA: Although I responded to SmackDaniels, it was in no way directed at him.

LSU has a coach that damn near every college team would love to have, but when he wins, it is, to some of the fans, "despite his bumbling," blind luck, his assistant coaches, the ineptitude of the opposing team, etc.

No coach who uses terrible game plans, is inept, and relies on luck has anything close to the won-loss record of Les Miles in the SEC.

This was the opening game against a ranked team. The comeback was awesome.

---

Agreed. I'm getting sick of hearing Miles haters say the word luck. By the way they throw that word around he is far and away the luckiest person in the universe.

Les Miles, in all his quirkiness and even with our team's clock management issues, has forgotten more football than 75% of this board will ever know. The thing that blows my mind the most about so many posters on here, is how little resolve they possess. Ready to give up at the first sign of adversity. Pitifully embarrassing.

isn't it just possible that there is more parity now? with the proliferation of communication technology, coaches have more access to information now more than ever. they know the tendencies of their opponents and gameplan accordingly. in game adjustments and talent make the difference. lsu wins, other teams lose. lsu is just plain better across the board.

and what about chemistry? it's part of winning and miles should get credit for that too.
