    I voted yes, but should have voted maybe. This season will be telling for Miles. What makes me believe it is starting to fall is the fact that the team hasnt shown improvements in problem areas for two straight seasons. Two years ago it was the D, this year the O. There is one common denominator, HC Miles. Two straight seasons of imploding at the end of the season. This season was mired with serious coaching blunders as well. If Miles is going to stay at LSU and if LSU is to stay a top program this is the year. We must get back to coaching kids up.

    Its not about winning every game or expecting to win the SEC or BCSCG every year. Its wanting to see improvements. Its about putting a prepared and focus team on the field. Things LSU hasnt done in two straight seasons.

    Outside of the JJ incident I really like Miles. He has a charm and charisma about him. I just think his time here has passed. Id love nothing more than for him to prove me wrong. I think he needs that fire back, he needs to go back to balls out coaching. Not trying to out coach with Xs and Os, not his strength. He definitely needs help with time management as well. The boneheaded plays at Ole Miss and PSU costed LSU two games(they easily could have won). Two games they should have won if prepared properly in the first place.

    How many freshman started for Bama,Texas,or Florida this year? Since you're in medical school,you do realize that 90% of 19 yrs old guys are not as strong physically as 21 yrs old guys who have spent 2 yrs or more in a college weight program.
    They are not as mature either.

    What underclassman should have started last yr that didn't? How many 9th and 10th grade guys started on your hs team? Did you start as a freshman?

    Please give examples of Miles weakness with Xs and Os. Be specific. Please give examples of poor preperation in the 2 loses you mentioned. Once again,be specific.

    Hey guys,

    I don't think the wheels are coming off at all; we just need a REAL QB.

    I dont remember specific instances. As I mentioned the fact is LSU didnt improve from game one. If there was an improvement in one area there was a downgrade in another. The play calling and gameplanning was horrible. Peveto and Mallory got the blame two years ago and Crowton this year. Miles is the common denominator here. Sorry, but theres a trend.

    I honestly like the guy and would LOVE him to prove me wrong.
