It probably serves dual purposes, though you'd have to ask them directly. But reminding people publicly not only lets that particular poster know he's about to cross the line or already has it also lets viewing parties know. Doing everything by PM's and emails would double and triple the "paper work". Why not kill two birds with one stone?
I've always believed that people who go around having to say they're in charge........aren't. :wink: :thumb:
Miles did not come to LSU with a huge amount of baggage, so most SEC fans were slow to come to any kind of conclusion. From my perspective, Miles has done a very good job... Winning an SEC Championship is a benchmark that will push him into the, "great coach," club.
It's the way he recruited that was "uncivil". Trash talking the school, LSU, that treated him like a football GOD. I could understand that if LSU had fired him, but he left on his own to follow his dream. It's too bad his dream turned into a nightmare. :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
Being able to coach a talented team and win with them is not automatic. Zook inherited Spurriers players and failed to win. Dubose inherited Stallings players and failed to win. Miles took what he had and won, despite the Hurricane impacts, won the West Division in his first season, and won his bowl games too. It seems awfully important for some of our opponents that Miles has to be "bad", even thought there is no proof of it. Three of Miles' classes will be playing this year and criticism about him "only winning because he has Nick's players" will be increasingly lame. Mlles is has a better winning percentage than Nick did at LSU and he has recruited better than Nick did. If Miles ever actually starts losing then I'll bitch and moan about it. But right now . . . life is sweet.
Yep, and the more they have to do it......the less they are in charge- The more any person in a position of authority has to use it shows they don't have control.... and I hear they do it a lot. I tell my teachers this all the time. The more kids they send to the office the more warnings I see as signals of problems with classroom management- and I'm talking about 80 referrals a year. By comparison, I used to send 3-5 cause that meant I couldn't handle them and hated to have to resort to letting someone else "Handle my business". :thumb:
