re: Trading High On Les Miles?

I wouldn't be upset per se, but I'm really hoping to sell high on Crowton.

You should always sell penny stocks at their highs.

finally. an answer.

Not swapping Les Miles one for one with another coach. I set up the conditions of this question. Les Miles leaves voluntarily. Would you be upset or not?

---

I think, at this point, anyone NOT upset by Miles leaving better be careful what they wish for.

I know it can be painful to watch at times, but at some point all this winning is no longer just luck.

But since LSU is in a position of having to have a head football coach (well, unless we let the Rant do the job via message board), the act of "selling high" requires a corresponding act of buying--thus a "trade." Cany consideration of whether to sell must be made in light of what is available to be bought. You're like a sector fund--you have to stay invested.

---

Fair enough. But it's not a one v. one trade, as per the poster's stance above. It would be a forced sell, then due dilligence, and then re-investment.

i think the grounds for not being upset is based on volatility. have you ever dated/known someone with bipolar disorder?

In the SEC every, repeat EVERY, team needs luck to get through the season. Look at what has happened to Fla and bama this year. Auburn could very well have four losses right now. Mississipi St. COULD be one loss and SEC West Champs. That's it for me. I am out of this dumbass thread.

man, this thread is filled with dumbasses alright. it has one less now that you've left.

I don't know. If Miles left it would be very difficult to bring someone in who can replicate his success.

He's been here 6 years and in 4 of them we have been at least in the discussion for the SEC and BCS titles until late in the season.

If he left volutarily that would be hard to replace. And I am on record as wanting him gone earlier this year. But 10 wins with JJ and JL at QB is pretty impressive.

I've been around longer than most so I've seen more down side than up side hireing coaches. Some times I think it's a crap shoot when a University hires a football coach for that matter most any other college coach.

Keep the one we have. These are the best years for football at LSU that anyone can remember.

One of the problems with many of our fans are they are not willing to eat a big plate of Crow.

Damn... too many on this board born in the '90's, came of age about the time when going to a bowl game was expected. Pissed when we don't win 10 games.

i was born in the 70's and remember the Stoval era. with that being said, Miles needs to go to Michigan if offered IMHO. LSU is the only 10-1 team in America that has looked TERRIBLE and is a pubic hair away from being 7-4, maybe even 6-5. it was LUCK that the UNC tight end dropped a TD at the end of the game. it was LUCK that Tennessee had 11 men on the field instead of 13. it was LUCK that the ball bounced DIRECTLY into the hands of Jasper against Florida. had all of the lucky bounces gone DiNardo's way in 1998, LSU would have been 10-1 as well. DiNardo had BAD LUCK against UGA in '98 and lost by 1 point. DiNardo had BAD LUCK against Kentucky in '98 and lost by a FG. DiNardo had BAD LUCK against UF in '98 and lost due to one pick 6 being called back and one being dropped. DiNardo had BAD LUCK against Ole Miss when Larry Foster dropped a TD in OT. DiNardo had BAD LUCK when Abraham Booty dropped a TD against ND late in the game. DiNardo had BAD LUCK when he lost his 4 year starter at QB and lost to Arkansas. talent and LUCK is winning, not coaching.
