Thia is one of the most ridiculous ideas ever posted on this board. Brady was/is not a particularly good coach (fired at LSU and not successful at AR State), nor does he relate well to his players or to us, the fans. There are far too many good up-and-comers out there to even think of taking such a backward step.

Agree. The pathetic wanna-bees are destroying this board. Les brings a long term winning atmosphere to the LSU football program and sure, he sometimes makes moves that all us know-it-alls don't agree with, but overall he is one of the best. Les Miles exhibits more class on a fulltime basis than any one of our screwball negatiger posters has ever shown. This forum is called Tiger Rant, but that doesn't include the right to continually post nonsensical negative garbage. Cheers, and let's stomp the Foolish Irish from South Bend.

All of the positive comments about the man are pretty much on the money and the negative comments about his coaching ability and failure to get rid of Tepper are also correct. He was a pleasant individual and represented the university well in many ways -- any haters are looking only at the results, not the man. He was an avid LSU fan in everything and in the football off season often attended/supported other events including the so-called minor sports and women's sports.

-50. As a Tiger living in AR, I saw Nutty close-up and I can assure you he's no better than Petrino in the class department.

Nutt may share the "motivates up" ability with Dale Brown (sometimes), but you are demeaning Dale Brown to suggest that they are alike in any other way. Whether you liked him as a coach or thought he was awful, Brown is a good-hearted gentleman of upstanding character -- Nutt is not.

Unfortunately, the western part of HSV is on Entergy and they have outages far too often. Your statement is completely correct for the eastern end of the Village (where I live) which has First Electric service.

Using the same well-reasoned logic shown in your post, it's obvious that if you had another brain cell rolling around in your skull, the pair would be lonesome.

Templars -- You were out when you started. It's clear that you don't have a clue. Brady was a fairly decent coach who was fortunate enough to have great recruiting help and rarely coached his players to their full potential. He was and is a nasty individual and did little to enhance LSI's image in the community.

In his first year with a group of players who struggled under Brady, Trent Johnson coached them up and took them further than Brady could have ever dreamed of. Brady left the cupboard bare, so yes, the team is struggling this year. Johnson represents LSU with far more class and is gaining community respect that Brady was unable to achieve in all his years here.

No true comparison is possible for another 2-3 years, until we see what Johnson can do with his own recruits. It will be a huge shock if he doesn't far surpass the expectations held by you and your Negatiger buddies. Why don't you just shut up with the Brady crap and get back to us after the 2012 season? Cheers.....

Wow, you make an astounding accusation that a message board almost determined a recruits decision on what school he wanted to go to and then back it up with a whole lot of zippola.

You my friend should work with Olbermann. You would fit right in.

As of yet, I have never seen, regarding any recruit in any given year, for any given school across the nation, in football, basketball or baseball, any type of confirmation that a messageboard determined some kid's final school of choice.

So call me silly if you will. I just don't believe this happens but I am sure that this anonymous person on the Rant will tell me I am an idiot for not believing someone I don't know who is throwing out a crazy accusation without having the balls to even try to remotely back it up.
---------------------------------

Silly would be too generous. Your posts in this thread indicate that the anonymous people (and you can include me) calling you an idiot are on the money. If you think that the tone of the comments on the message board don't say something about the LSU community, you're delusional.

Constructive criticism is one thing, but the nasty, destructive comments on this board the past several months go far beyond reasonable. Most of the Miles-, Crowton-, and recruit-bashers seem to DEMAND performance that has not been reached in any major sport since the days of John Wooden at UCLA. Get real and think before you post -- the overdone negativity helps no one.

Approve. It's doubtful if any of the idiots who disapprove are as good at their job (for those who are old enough to hold a job) as Miles is at his. If you ask them if they think their job is in danger, however, you can be sure that all of them are confident that they are at the top of their group and more than safe.
