Fl State had it good and look how far they fell before they changed heads. Look at UT.. I am not saying Miles is the problem, but if all you want are wins fine keep him, but the performance for 3 of these past 5 weeks is not that of a NC LSU team. I love Miles to death but he is supper stubborn.
"If you want wins fine keep him" Seriously isn't that what we are supposed to want? What do we want losses but a great passing game. No thanks I have no interest in becoming Texas tech.....
TS I grabbed yours cause it was first. True, he wins, a lot, and he is a great recruiter no doubt. Where I think he is in over his head is what he does with it. I believe we win in spite of CLM, just because of the talent we have. When matched against equal talent and it has to come down to x's and o's, yeah that is where it hurts.
We are on equal talent with other SEC teams, but we still have a good record against them. It's a myth that our "talent" could win with no coaching. Just look at the Dinardo era. There are guys that were here when he was coaching that are STILL in the NFL. But we didn't win...even with lots of talent.
The NFL is a lot harder to out talent other teams. Coaching is far more important. CFB is a different beast.
Pete Carroll's dominating record at USC from 2001-2009 was 83-19 with 14 wins being vacated between the 2004 and 2005 seasons (97-19 before the vacates). Les Miles has surpassed that winning pct.
Out of the 18 losses: 4 have been in overtime 6 more have been within 8 points (single score) 2 more have been 10 points or less 6 bad losses (more than 10 points) (13, 14, 18, 20, 21, 30) Only 3 games LSU was flat out embarrassed in: 2005 CG vs Georgia, 2008 vs Florida (legendary Tim Tebow speech a couple weeks prior), 2011 vs Alabama in the NC game.
