Things I am tired of Les doing
Posted on 11/25/09 at 5:03 pm
Posted on 11/25/09 at 5:03 pm
- Playing seniority over talent
- sitting on a lead and getting conservative
- inability to make adjustments midgame
- use timouts when needed
- wasting time outs
- only having our team prepared for bowl games
- setting a record for career illegal formations
- benching the hot hand
- press conferences
- waiting till the offseason to fix problems
- losing to bama and florida
- patting players on the butt after penalties
- Not instilling a killer instinct in our players
- having the want to win but not the ability
- RUNNING THE OPTION
The point I am trying to make is that Les Miles is not the guy LSU needs. These things I am listed are not problems that started since the Ole Miss game but rather go back to his very first game at home against Tenn 2005.
Les is a good guy that can recruit with the best but thats it. We need a coach who can recruit, lead, coach, prepare and develop players.
I dont care if Les beats Arkansas 100-0, its time for him to go.

Mastrshake,
When LSU won the NC under Miles and he signed that 4 year contract, I knew LSU had made a big mistake for the long run.
I have disliked Les starting Tenn 2005 and it grew Auburn 2006.
LSU's most talented team was not the 2003 team or the 2007 team, it was the 2006 team and Les couldnt do crap with that team.
I ALWAYS WANT LSU TO WIN AND NEVER PULL AGAINST THEM but I will not let that blind me from seeing a dumbass taking an elite program downhill.
I have never liked Miles PERIOD.

An excellent list!
We should have won at least one more NC in either 2005 or 2006. A decent coach would have been successful in doing that.

I think it is time to move on. I was really upset over the game....over the season....over the past two seasons.
However, it is time to move on. Les Miles is our coach and will be our coach next year. If we know he will be our coach next year, let's focus on what could improve our team.
I'm quite sure we will see some changes at the end of the season. I hope for all of us, for our team, for us the fans and for the entire university......that the changes will result in positive results. If they don't, the leadership at LSU will have another decision to make.
I was sooooo very upset. Prior to the game/earlier in the week, I had posted that I was not real happy because....If you feel like your team is well coached, you think there is the opportunity to win every game. If you feel like your team is not well coached, you feel like there is the opportunity to lose every game. I feel like there are times our team is not well coached.
However, with all of that said, Les Miles is our coach and will be our coach next year. I support our team and I hope we win our next two games. There is nothing any of us can do to alter the fact he will be our coach next year. I honestly feel sorry for him....at least a little.
Let's be excited about the possible upcoming changes that will hopefully have a positive impact on our team.

2006 was a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM.

All well and good, but this line of thought is not reality.
Over time it has been proven:
There is not improvement with Les.
There are not positive adjustments
There is no learning from mistakes

I agree. 2006 was complete. I didn't have to worry about anything with those guys.
3rd down conversion? easy.
4th down conversion? easy.
Win? easy.
Dominate? easy.

Agree. I have felt all year long the lack of emotion that the Coach shows. I am not suggesting he throw headsets but the same emotion, win, lose, or draw is contagious to the players.

Touche. However, it is reality. Les is our coach and will be next year. Do you think anything negative we say at this point will change that? Do you think any negative talk will improve our team?
Hey, understand I absolutely know there are serious issues. SERIOUS issues. But at this point, what good does bashing the man do? Other than letting us all vent.....

this is the "rant" by definition isnt that what they are doing? do you think anything blindly naiive and rainbow positive we say will magically make 3,4,or 5 loss seasons okay. "they cant beat bama or florida, but look how happy they are with the crap theyre being handed"!

Again, as I stated, understand I know there are serious issues. I understand the Rant....do a bit 2 much of it myself.
I'm just saying I want two wins to end the season so I'm trying to move on. And we have to move on with Les as our Coach. At least at this point.
Posted on 11/25/09 at 5:57 pm to wryder1
could't agree with you more. When will LSU move on without Les as coach
