re: Trading High On Les Miles?

Les is not leaving. To post this thread is stupid unless you want him to leave. He's happy at LSU.

Getting a new coach doesn't guarantee success. It doesn't guarantee anything but uncertainty. The LSU fanbase as a whole has never grasped this concept and I think never will.

This is spot on. The morons crying for Miles to be fired need to have this beat into their thick skulls.

Rich Rod was considered a top coach and was highly sought after when Michigan got him. Look how that worked out. Dan Hawkins kicked arse at Boise State and he sucked arse at Colorado. etc etc

Wow! And you call yourself an expert?

Please rewatch the end of this year's Tennessee game, last year's Ole Miss game and the bowl game against Penn State.

You must have a very short memory.

You like Les. That's cool, I get it, but you can't be serious. He is far from the best in the country.

hey kid, you could come up with 3 games in which ANY head coach made mistakes in IF he has been around for more than a year. THEY ALL make mistakes, including your dream bj nick saban......The bottom lines is wins/losses and keeping our arse clean, and with a little bit of class and minus the thuggery. There are very, very few coaches who have done this better than les miles over the last six years..period.

I for one would be VERY upset, not so much at Les Miles, because honestly how the "fans" have treated him they deserve this, but because of the fact that we are losing our best coach we have had. Now, let me back up that last statement with a little bit of reasoning and stats. Les Miles is the fastest coach in LSU history to get to 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 wins. He now has AVERAGED winning 10 games in a season 4 out of 6 times. This is while coaching in the toughest conference by far in that time span. No other coach in LSU history is even close to that. He has lost 1 out of conference game since he has been here, and some of those wins weren't against teams like ULM either. There is also his ability to continue to pull wins out in games where a loss seems a 100% possibility. But besides all of his accomplishments on the field. Look around at college football and tell me what programs have had continued success after making coaching changes from a guy who was a proven winner? Tennessee? Michigan? Miami? USC? Even Alabama went through about 3 or 4 coaches before getting Saban. It is just really hard to get a guy that will come in and continue winning at the mark of the guy before him. This current coach is winning at almost 80% through 6 years. That, among all of the other facts, is a very good reason why I hope that he doesn't do anything but sign an extension with LSU.

In fairness, the late personnel change in the game did ULTIMATELY succeed in confusing Tennessee.

The objective was not to confuse Tennessee, it was to substitute to a different personnel package in order to execute a specific play. It was an absolute meltdown of epic proportions, and coming on the heels of the two previous meltdowns, it confounds reason that anyone would claim the architect of these 3 meltdowns to be the "best coach in the country."

GMAFB. You homers are unbelievable.

You had no point.

Did I think it was a stupid thing to do? Yes, but you can't sit there and say it didn't work.

Crowton admitted in an interview it was a stupid thing to do and to try to spin it into something that was not intended, i.e., to "confuse Tennessee" if not so laughable would be inherently tragic. Crowton and Miles fricked up the back end of that game, just as they have several other games at the end of halves.

this thread is full of laughs. and no i wouldn't be upset.

Any good coach could come in here and give us 9-10 wins per season WITHOUT an SECC or NC, same as the last 2 years. To get a championship usually requires a lot of things to fall into place. A new coach would give us a lot less headaches, a lot less closer games, and a LOT less national embarrassment.

ahahahaha please lock this thread, it has reached its apex now

I must have missed how Miles was responsible for the Penn State "meltdown." We were about 10 yards out of Jasper's range with time left for another two or three plays.

Then the Penn State LBer decided to sit on Brandon LaFell and let the clock run, and we were penalized 15 yards when someone (Hurst?) decided to shove him off.
