Do you think the players will say they quit? What do you suggest he should do to keep them from being demoralized?

What was the HC supposed to do to keep those guys from fumbling the ball? Let's face it, 2 fumbles is what ultimately directed this game.

Miles will never get praise, he loses it's his fault, he wins it's because LSU has more talent than their opponent-----If LSU wins a game with 5000 yards rushing and 40 touchdowns the play calling was horrible because the offense should have thrown more, if they throw for 5000 yards and 80 touchdowns they should have pounded it on the ground------If the defense holds the opponent to -200 total yards people will bitch because it should have been -400 and eleventy billion interceptions returned for touchdowns.


if miles weren't the coach the same bitching would take place

unless anyone thinks it will be easy to replace a QB who is currently 35-2 as a starter....I'm not so sure.


Well they replaced John Parker Wilson, who led them to an undefeated regular season. And they replaced McElroy, who led them to a national title.

Bama won't always win national titles, but they won't go 8-4 or 7-5 like the 2013 LSU Tigers.

Promie, we've basically blamed the players for Ole Miss, and now Bama, so does the coaching staff deserve the blame for any losses...like ever?

I'm not quite as hardcore on miles as others, but it sounds as if people are absolving the staff of everything.

are our players getting any better? are they still making the same mistakes as they were in week 1?

How many games did Bama win in 2010?

How many games has LSU lost this season?

You got a crystal ball telling you that we are going to lose the next 2 games.

GFY.

You are violating Rule #1 of the Sunshine Pumper Rulebook my friend.

See my sig quote.

We cannot be as good as Alabama, so we need to be happy with what we are. We are as good as we can be. Make peace with it.

Bama sends just as many players to the NFL, yet they never seem to get decimated by early departures

It's beyond strange how Bama players, with the exception of a couple RBs, never seem to leave early. Even after already winning a NC or two.

He's lost this team, that's on the HC. He admitted as much before the Furman game.

Have them motivated to play. Teams that are well prepared and motivated don't quit in the 4th quarter. For reference check out Bama in the 4th quarter Saturday night.

We've fumbled more this season than in a long, long, time. I'd say fumbling is a problem. How about focusing on the fumbling issue & not letting a player who hasn't played in weeks take it in from the 1. Hill or Hilliard should have carried it. Period. That's on the HC.


Your right. They head coach isn't ultimately responsible for talent evaluation & recruiting.

For starters, not hand the ball to a defensive tackle. This is not second guessing, I have been bemoaning this play for two solid years, you can search my post history if you like.

And yes, that is Miles' play, not Cam Cameron's. Miles started running the fullback belly with Copeland last year before Cam was even here. We have NFL talent at tailback, but we give the ball to a defensive tackle.

It's little things like that that LSU has been able to overcome because in the past few years we have "out talented" other teams. This year, when the talent is not overwhelmingly in LSU's favor, we get beat by UGA without Gurley, Ole Miss without about 6 starters, Alabama (yes, everyone else does as well), A&M is about to hang 60 on us, and who knows if we get a repeat of 2008 with Arkansas.

I agree. Les is a fine recruiter. He isn't a legendary coach, but he's a hell of a guy and hes a good coach. He's beat little nicky more times than any coach has. I'm not saying if we have a better coach lined up for his job then i wouldn't take him, i'm saying that people need to stop blaming LES for ALL the losses.

One thing that I do believe might want to be looked at is the strength and conditioning program. Every year we hear about how great the current team is doing and it seems like recently LSU has been in close games, only to lose them in the 4th quarter. I know Moffitt is the greatest in the world, blah, blah, blah, but he definitely needs to look at changing some things up so come the 4th quarter, the players don't appear to be running out of gas.

well not here though. you have 17k posts so i assume you meant other places but not here. otherwise i'd welcome you to the rant.





can anyone honestly say that if LSU just had half the defense they've had in recent yrs that all 3 L's could've easily been wins. I know UGA that's true.

probably ole miss would've just been an ugly escape win (we still threw 3 picks).

and this bama game becomes a toss up.

it's as simple as that. anyone who says different has an agenda.

then geez, u must have missed the "It's Mett's fault, did Miles tell him to throw 3 picks?" posts that happened after the game. I think even Prom can tell you that.
