No one has less credibility than you on this entire board because you simply CANNOT admit, you are constitutionally incapable of admitting, that Miles makes errors.
Ive admitted many times that Miles has made and continues to make errors....just like every other coach in the country. Its just that im not blinded by hate so i can understand the difference between coaching mistakes and player mistakes. Unlike you and the other sheep on this board that blame Miles for everything....blame him for everything, give him credit for nothing.
But while you're over there wallowing in misery and bitching like a 14 year ole emo chick...i'll be over here enjoying the season and a soon to be 7-0, top 10 ranked football team.

And nothng to do with a kid blowing an assigment? Tell me what team anywhere has played the perfect game. Tell me which team anywhere has had no mental errors by the players during a game. Let me guess you never played sports but are a whizz at Madden.

Of course they would - the same jackholes were bitching about the 3OT losses WHILE we were prepping for the big game, almost implying we would somehow be MORE in the big game had we won those games against tough, SEC opponents.

Oh, you mean like when Saban was here?

UC, let's face it - players coached by Belichick, Saban, Parcells, Meyer, Carroll, etc., simply don't have mental breakdowns, make mistakes or blow assignments. They never do because those teams have "real" coaches. Therefore, they never lose games unless somebody "outlucks" or "outtalents" them.
(All of those guys are outstanding cheaters, by the way...)

Those who were truly concerned after
the UNC, Tennessee and Florida games probably still are. Those games should have been put away long before the last play(s) of the game.
Those who see the talent that this LSU team has are still concerned that it is not being used to its potential - a potential that will be required to continue winning.
This team can not rely on Les' luck if it expects to beat Auburn, Alabama and Arkansas.
I appreciate what Les has done while at LSU, but I worry that continued close play will lead to a loss that shouldn't have been.
ksliman I understand what you are trying to say. Although Les and the team has done a good job going forward, I want to be first inline to act like a little bitch incase something happens I don't like. Examples, a close win, Jefferson playing more than 4 snaps or God forbid we lose in any fashion.

Well, Miles is the head coach of LSU football and has been for six years.
As such, he is ultimately responsible for every recruit LSU signs, every assistant coach hiring, every decision about what scheme to run, every decision about personnell, every decision about game management and clock management, every aspect of practice, every play of every game.
He's the head coach. That's what it means to be the head coach. You can't be the "head coach" and then try to insulate yourself from responsibility for various aspects of the program.
Moreover, I have on repeated occassions bluntly explained my opinion of Miles: He is a great recruiter and a very mediocre gameday coach. His assessment of assistant coaches is still in question. On the one hand, he hired Chavis. On other hand, he retained Crowton and, almost unforgiveably, promoted his two moronic cronies to Co-DC in 2008.
Overall, I don't knwo whether that combination of atributes can regularly win SEC titles, which is the ultimate goal here.

And yet...with all this...players still make mistakes that are out his control.

Routine?!? When was the last fumbled punt or TD on special teams. I bet you have no idea without looking it up. Routine means common. It has been years since. Figure out what you are talking about, before you simply b@#$% & moan about a 6-0 team & coach.

So by luck Miles has just kept winning, I guess you would rather a coach who is mediocre at recruiting, but he coaches up everyone who plays. You know what happens there, 2 to 3 losses every year. The coach you think you want rarely exist.

No, I'd prefer a coach who recruits well AND is sound tactically.

Not sure where you are going with this. LSU has suffered four or more losses each of the last two seasons. And at least two losses in every season under Miles before that.

we allowed a kickoff return because our lane assigments were absolutely crap. We blew a lane assigment. It was mental error. That has everything to do with coaching.

No coach is perfect
This is a coach who has pulled 3 wins out of his arse in only 6 games, one against the 2nd string of powerhouse UNC, one on a last play at home gimme by the worst Tennessee team to put on a uniform in the last 10 years, and another on a lucky bounce on a fake field goal.
You get the idea.

Do not confuse concern with lack of support for the team. I am not predicting a melt-down and multiple losses. I am only pointing out that the luck, breaks, karma (pick a noun) cannot be counted on to win close games.
Also, being happy with success and worried if it will come to be are 2 different things.
If LSU were to succeed I would obviously be ecstatic because it would mean that the problems that we fear were corrected. But until I see fewer mistakes and better use of the talent on the field I will continue to be concerned.

Are you serious? That is the most ridiculous statement I've ever heard. I could cite dozens of examples for every coach you listed. You must be trying to sarcastic.

There's nothing lucky about winning nearly 80% of your games.
If Less was able to instill as much discipline within the team as you do with your broken record posts, there would be very little to talk about on this subject. Unfortunately, both of you are entirely too consistent with your ridiculous ways of working.
