pretty close (maybe overlaps) to the concept of

all must be well.

Excellent post JT, please tell my wife this. I have been bringing this up for 5-years and she is what I would characterize as a Miles apologist, she doesn't like the conversation and now we no longer sit together or watch games in the same room if on TV. She calls me a Saban lover, it's not that it's his plan and long term direction that produces results, one can easily tell the man is way above average as a coach and program builder. Can't help it, call it like I see it, and that is why many of us have felt so frustrated watching games under Miles with so many continual minor mistakes at key moments made on the sidelines and on the field which end up snowballing into big setbacks by game's end. I'm over it, something changes or it doesn't, but without change the program will never be what it was.

think maybe there is a chance that Miles suffers debilitating panic attacks in these situations. He was literally incoherent during the on-field interview.
pretty much a textbook choke job...one could also compare it to buck fever.

I've been with you on this topic all along, it's all very Sabanesque "relative to the process of winning.." and "the now missing minutiae" at LSU.
One guy hammered his players for being late to meetings, made 'em run..the other can't show up for his own pressers nor booster speaking engagements on time.
The 'tells' were there from jumpstreet in 2005.

If your theory is correct why was Saban such a horrible failure in the NFL?

Parity.
And it's hard to tell a multi-million dollar player that is more valuable to the franchise than the coach that: "You are playing for your scholarship today."
Saban's tyrant like qualities of intimidation work great on 18-22 year olds playing for a shot in the NFL. Not so great on NFL Veterans who can quit on him and get him fired in a year.

That doesn't explain Jersey's theory at all. The NFL has parity due to the draft. College success requires recruiting. But Jersey didn't say Miles should be fired because he was a bad recruiter.

It also looked like the state trooper had to tell Miles that the game was over.
That was nothing compared to the august LSU policeman on the other side!

Well, he only coached 2 years in the NFL right??
Who knows, but I bet he woulda gotten much better??
I mean, Belichek didnt set the NFL world on fire his 1st 2 years coaching, but it's kinda worked out for him.

That's the dude that cheated right?
I'm not that big of an NFL fan. ETA: He coaches the Pats right? Yeah, he sometimes has brain farts even on Monday night football.

One of the best posts ever on the rant. I totally agree with you and this TRUTH that you have stated is what I have been feeling the entire time Miles has been at LSU.

Having many of the best players in your league, that also never graduate nor run out of eligibility, doesn't hurt neither.

What does that have to do with anything that I said?

Get back to me when Miles has any process in place that even remotely resembles Belichick quality.
