No, a dose of reality once in awhile is good enough.

Look, man, I'm sorry, that is not my nature. I just don't agree with your opinion.

Well, okay. The club has a good chance of tying UGA in conference championships this year and leagues first repeat since 97/98. Seems it would be better to follow it with anticipation and hope rather than trepidation, but as you will.

No, really I hope Miles wins a NC. Should have last season. I don't pull against LSU football and he is the coach, but to continue to ignore the coaching flaws like they do on here is just not something I can do.

It's more a 'taking the good with the bad' for me. And realizing that the options are much more limited than what is realized.

And another thing to consider: Hiring two coaches in a row that wins around 80% happens enough to give optimism, but it's not the norm. Hiring 3 in a row has never been done (but I'm not through researching though). After CLM a drop should be fully expected, so why not enjoy, as much as possible, now.

Not a problem. I understand that you FEEL differently about Les Miles- but you have to realize that in all factual measures used judge a coach, Miles is to be counted among the best in the nation. I myself couldn't understand the decision to not put Lee in and try to move the offense, but what good does it do you to carry this hatred for him? What good does it do for the team or the fans? What good does it do for yourself?
Worry about that which you can affect and you'll be a lot happier. I have no hatred for Saban- he's a damn fine coach and probably the best in the nation, but the point is he is not our coach anymore and won't be again.

Always grateful for 2000-2005 Now he's just another guy in the way.

I'll tell you a secret: You can rally with eyes wide open. Maximus will never understand this.

Feel free to call him out. I never will understand the playcalling and clock management from Ole Miss and I'll never understand the decision not to put Lee in the second half, but he is a great coach and motivator even with his weaknesses. He and Saban are literally the ying/yang of coaching. One all about process and precision- other about inspiration and gut. Two freight trains entering the tunnel from opposite ends. This year's game should be Amazing. Looking so forward to it. We'll see who walks away 4-3 and who walks away 3-4.

The conventional wisdom is the'better coach, better recruits, better team' Barring the ISU meteor, that ain't helping. My money is still on Les.

Yes, it wil be another tough, hard fought game. I expect nothing less, I just hope Mettenberg has his shite together by then.

Even if he beats Saban in the NC, they are still arguing who the better Coach is , not one game does a coach make!!!
