I don't disagree with you guys about Miles, I've always had some apprehensions. But the idea that anyone could coach a team of 18-22 y/olds to 34-6 record because they were highly ranked recruits that played for a year or 2 under Nick Saban is ridiculous.

Miles did a good job from 2005-07. He did not do a good job in 2008. So far this year looks questionable.

Yea thats what I want to do in my free time. Crowton calls the plays Miles doesn't ask any offensive player on the team.

You right, its terrible to go 11-2 with the only loses being on the road to top 10 teams, including the eventual national champions.

who? based on what I saw it was basically Byrd, Taylor and Jean-Francois...

I know it makes you guys feel better when you project your quitter/loser mentality on others...

byrd, taylor, and derry beckwith were the biggest cancers

coleman went for big hits/highlights and didn't care to do anything else

our LBs didn't hustle (could be on derry's whining)

our CBs also had a lot of problems. that's why PP got in earlier than most true freshman (thank god)

I'll be glad to. just wondering how many points would you consider beating the piss out of someone? my definition of that is at least 3 tds. i doubt the most positive of positigers would predict a 3 21+ point win vs auburn at this juncture.

everyone I talk to who knew Miles and of Miles and what he did at Okie St were totally against his hire. In fact some guys were saying (before the hire of Miles) that LSU will make a huge mistake with this guy. He will bring this program down. And you know what...I see it happening before my eyes. This is the most undeciplined team I have ever seen. I really feel bad for the players. They are playing their hearts out and giving it all they have and our coaches are not putting them in the right position. These guys are way too talented to play the way they are playing. I really feel for the team....NOT the coaches. I see us going 8-5 this year and maybe the same next. Now if everyone is happy with that then keep Miles. I am not saying we should win the NC every year but damnit we should be much more competitive than what we have shown. And don't come with this.... well we are 5-1 ranked 10th, lots of teams would take that. But have you seen the way we are winning. Even the way we played ULALA was a disgrace because of our coaches. If it weren't for a few lucky breaks, we could easily be 1 - 5...EASY. Oh and I know..if if if....but look at the teams we almost lost to.

You are correct gxtigs1, in fact, I think there was even an Oklaoma St. "Fire Les Miles" fan website while he was there.

No. A Dumbass who is likely too young to figure out yet that changing Head coaches every 3-5 for the past 30 years has caused LSU too many problems to name in just one thread.
