He admitted there was no plan for that situation and they(he)couldn't come up with one on short notice. That tells me he is heart and mind is not in it for some reason. How hard is it to signal in to JJ to snap the ball before the clock starts and try to make something happen. Instead they did the worst possible thing,nothing. No plan???

I am a long time STH(season ticket holder) and went to LSU and that does I believe give me the right to an opinion. Les Miles is a good man, a good college football CEO, a good recruiter, but a terrible game day coach. I have watched games get mismanaged for 2 years now and get away from us in an instant. There seems to be very little strategy and basically he puts our guys against their guys and hope ours are better. I won’t say his name, because people are saying get over it, but the former LSU coach in many cases took inferior talent and constructed his game plan to where in most cases LSU could compete and in a lot of cases win over superior talent. Les can’t seem to take superior talent and in a lot of cases win out over inferior talent, much less put some inferior team away. Bear Bryant once said “the way to stay head coach at a major school is to win all the games you’re supposed too and at least one per season you’re not supposed too”. Here is what I see, the offense has struggled all year, two reasons I see for that. 1. We run the same 10 or 11 plays we were running at the beginning of the season with no variation. My son and I can tell you what play they are going to run when they line up. You know opposing D coaches can figure it out. 2. We run the clock down to the last second before snapping the ball, which always means we are snapping on the first hard count. Other D’s have figured that out to so they know they can come full force on the first hard count which puts our O line at a bad dis-advantage against inferior opponents. That little first jump gives D lines a clear advantage and JJ is running for his life. This is basic coaching, you got to keep the other guys off balance, and we have yet to do that. I won’t even talk about running the option to the short side of the field. I think in general what we're all talking about happen to Florida a few years back, great program mgr, great recruiter, bad game day coach. They fixed it with Urban Myer, and I gotta say, it has worked out pretty good for them. I heard Les say a few weeks ago, his goal was to end up in the top 5 every year, I wonder if that’s Urban Myers goal, or Nick Saban’s goal. If we (LSU) don’t get this fixed now, this could revert to another 15 year slump like before that coach whose name I won’t mention.
