re: For the old-timers...when did Cholly Mac first get on the hot seat?
Posted by TigerBender on 1/31/13 at 6:02 pm to AlwysATgr
I don't know about y'all, but from 1969 to 1979 I can remember leaving tiger stadium at least once or twice a year with my dad threatening to beat Cholly's brains in.
It was really bad in 1974 when we thought we were going all the way only to fail again.
My dad's gone now but I can still remember him jumping up and down in the living room one afternoon hollering yes finally he's gone. We thought he had lost his mind. He finally calmed down enough to tell us Cholly had been forced to retire.
So what we are seeing right now looks like an echo from the 70's.
And this is definitely the best thread I've seen in years.

Gary Crowton was the OC that engineered the offense that won the last title. You don't have to like it, it's OK.
Not true they were still running most of Jimbo's offense for the 2007 year. The personnel didn't fit Crowton's offense. In fact Crowton said after he left they never ran his offense the whole time he was here.

The BEST that any fanbase can reasonably hope for is that the program is put in a position to COMPETE for championships. Especially in today's college football world, as there are great athletes at every school.
If the Gump's felt this way too we would be the ones with 3 out of 4 NC's.
But they feel like a NC is the only acceptable outcome every year so they have the crystal balls instead of us.

First, this sentence is inaccurate. Second, the day the AD and/or TAF get involved in assistant coach hirings is the day many fans walk away. The AD hires the head coach. That's it.
If you don't think the money men a TAF call the shots, your delusional. I worked at the time the decision was made for one of the TAF board of directors. That is exactly how it went down.

It's laughable, the lengths you Miles haters will go, to discredit what the LSU football program has done since Miles was hired.
I Am not a Miles hater. But changes need to be made on offense and if he won't do it then we need send him down the road. The putrid offense he has put on the field for the last 5 years is unacceptable. Les Miles is not bigger than LSU. And the AD and TAF shouldn't have to threaten him to make a change the way we did to get Chavis.
We did get into the 2007 NC game because a couple of other teams lost. And can you ever remember another 2 loss team getting into the NC game. So we did in sorts it was a miracle we got in.

it's true, such a shame bama got the mulligan. the lineup of giants that LSU slayed that year might've been unprecedented, but for many, 1 loss erased 13 wins.
It's not the loss but the way we lost. The lack of a game plan. The fact that Miles quit on the team half way through the 3rd quarter. Not being able to cross the 50 yard line. The lack of in game and half time adjustments. All the 3 and outs. We did the same crap against Clemsen. We can't continue to leave our defense on the field for 40 minutes of every important game.

We finally have a coach committed to LSU, one we havent had since 1979.
Again it's not German.
If he can't beat the Gumps we should make changes until we can. Unless your ok with finishing second or worse in the SEC west every year.

THAT MORON HAS THE HIGHEST WINNING % of an SEC COACH to coach 100 games.
Winning percentage don't mean dick. If you can't beat the Gumps and win the bowl games we need to make a change. We fired Cholly-Mac for exactly the same moronic shite, he could'nt bear the Bear.
Do you think the Gumps would put up with this kind of crap (not no but hell no). The goal every year should be a BCSNC anything else is unacceptable. And we should make changes until we get there.
And I been sitting in tiger stadium since 1964. So I have seen the bad years. In no way will i ever be ok with not beating the Gumps. And you watch it will be 4 out of 5 BCSNC's for Bama next year. Are you really ok with that I'm not.

He is responsible for all that. And stud is not a poor oline coach. I blame 08 and 09 on saban not recruiting well enough at that position his last 2 seasons. Lets not forget in 05 saban only had 8 committed players before he bolted to the nfl.
Miles was not responsible for the Chavis hire. That was all the AD and TAF.
And even Hebert and Deke said Stud was just a marginal o-line coach on the radio last week

BCSNC is elite. Anything else is a loser and No body ever remembers the loser.

Your right, and they don't give shite about our shitty offense either or they would correct it. Instead they gave the moron a raise.

some of the responses in this thread have me wondering how our fanbase made it through seasons prior to Miles when we were losing 3+ games every year.
It wasn't as bad because we knew we didn't have the coaching or player talent to win a NC, at least before Sabin came anyway.
And like others if we showed up a gave a 100% for every game and lost I can live with that. But at 2 or 3 games a year we play down to the competition (Towson ring a bell. Or Miles has a brain Fart and loses a game do to poor coaching.

negatigers hurt recruiting bigtime
Not near as much as not making it across the 50 yard line on 1/9
Not near as much as our putrid offense we've been showing since 2008.
Not near as much as the total brain farts that Miles has at least once a year. Like the Tenn game where we needed a 13 men on the field penalty to get a win after time expired due his clock mismanagement.
Not near as much as losing to Clemsen by throwing instead of running out the clock in one of the worst displays of coaching in college football history
re: Coach Miles is learning just like the rest of us
Posted by TigerBender on 1/15/13 at 6:51 pm to Mie2cents
The only thing I've seen Miles learn is how to build a shitty Offense. He done great at that since 2008.

I'd probably fire Mainieri unless he got a better hitting/third base coach. He has until June to prove that the LSU letters on the jersey have nothing to do with his performance.
Second, I'd put Les Miles on notice. If the offense isn't ranked above 75 nationally in total yards, he's fired a John Chavis will help me pick a head coach.
I wouldn't touch men's basketball. Women's would get this year as a free ride as well. No complaints about softball or volleyball. Track needs no discussion. Women's soccer is no big deal but we'd like to be more competitive. I'm sure I'm missing something. I gave you my $0.02, what's yours Mr. AD?
FIFY
