I share a similar opinion.
He was thrown into the fire too soon. What's worse was that he along with JL was poorly coached for much of his career.

The original post. I am supporting JJ and coach miles. Miles just got his arse handed to him last night by Saban. With that said I still think Miles is LSU coach for a long time and I support him. For some reason he had the "brook trout" look last night. JJ did his best given the horrible gameplan that was in place. I know we all would hope that offense was better but hey it was against possibly the greatest defense of all time.

Thank you not benching JJ. As stupid as it seemed in the moment, it will pay dividends in the future. You don't know how much players appreciate that..that even in their darkest moments, that their coaches will always have their back
Then why did he pull Lee in the first bama game?

Jarrett Lee couldn't agree more, I'm sure.

Honest question, how do you know this?

JJ was atrocious.
Maybe OBUDan can put together a screenshot collection so you can see how horrible his play actually was.

You know what it tells future players? What "dividends" it might pay? It tells them, "you can stick it out....you can choose to stay where transfer might be personally better....you can then be called on when Miles needs you and you can peform well enough to lead your team to 8-0......and what kind of respect will be shown to you afterwards?.......
you'll lose your starting job after a poor quarter and a half against the best defense in the nation. THEN, he'll be allowed to COMPLETELY STINK for ENTIRE GAMES and you wont set foot on the field.
I think that more than a few players most certainly will take note of that going forward. Both recruits and players who maybe have a poor start to their careers. Sticking with Miles apparently earns you nothing in return.

Wonder what that huge recruit Zack Mettenberger thought about Les Miles sticking with Jefferson? Remember when Mettenberger was told that he would have a chance to compete for the starting position? Remember when Mettenberger went all season long and only throw a couple of passes against Northwestern St? Remember when Mettenberger just wanted to do something, anything, other than hand the ball off to the fullback with 7 minutes left in the game at Ole Miss, so he ran a qb bootleg? What if Mettenberger was given a chance to gain game experience passing the ball, would Les have put him in last night to try the simple forward pass?
Mett's chance will come in the next two years. If he happens to feell this way, then here's his shot.

Are you fricking serious?? Or is that just a sad attempt at sarcasm?? You are on the kool aid too. The better team didnt win, the Off. was horrible, while JJ didnt have his best day, it was the coach that had the duty to try something different... JL truly got the knife in the back. And your last statement about not being able to win all the games!! WTF is that? If thats your philosophy, hell... lets just not keep score so nobody has to lose and get thier feelings hurt...

Les told Lee he would still be allowed to compete after his tough freshman year. I mean obviously JL would have transferred if he would've known he would NEVER live down his freshman year with Miles.
I think it's pretty obvious Miles blows smoke up his players' asses.
And, I'm not sure that this fact is going to continue to go unnoticed by other players.

Unless their name is "Jarrett Lee" in which case you get benched when you throw picks. But for everyone else, yeah.

Recruits saw that, and the younger guys saw that. Good point, I never thought about. Recruits are going to see how you can step in for a charged felon, and take the team to an undefeated record and number one ranking, and despite what you do on the field, your head coach will take a huge shite on your head. No matter what you do on the field, if you aren't his pet, you sit the bench, and he embarrasses you and your family. I bet recruits (well, certain ones), will be chomping at the bit to come here. Especially mid-tier, ignorant, semi-athletic, self-centered, underachieving primaddonas. quote: their darkest moments Now we're getting somewhere, Nostradamus
Couldn't have said that better myself.
How are recruits suppose to take what happened to Lee? How he stepped in, played very well only to be benched for one shaky start just to watch one bad game after another and not get the chance to compete again... How do you think that plays in?
Oh and StrongSafety, I understand that they're your boys, but open your mind a little bit please... Sir.

not at all. The OP made the initial error of crediting the 07 SEC win to JJ, conveniently forgetting that whole RP time period.

he broadened the scope to the entire LSU program by including the "we" (unless of course Ztiger87 is in fact JJ).
However, as most LSU fans know, we went to the SECCG in 2007.
I guess technically since this is 2012, by the calendar, no we have only been to one since 2008
