    In this century LSU has gone to a national championship game about every four years. It could very well be next year. Lots of schools would trade that stat with us, including Georgia.

    I meant to quote the "from time to time" part of your post but my phone didn't grab it. Like I said, maybe next year.

    Very reasonable answer, but I think this is probably a fundamental difference of opinion between you and your ilk and me and my ilk. It very satisfying to find a fork in the road of reason, it clears up a lot and makes me feel less crazy. If we're UGA, I'm ready to try something else to compete for NCs and you are ok with the consistency.

    Very well said. Yes, @red55 has an excellent point, changing coaches may in fact flop and blow up on us. Like you, I am tired of seeing more than enough talent under achieve year in and year out because of an antiquated offensive philosophy.

    Iphone changed "if we're UGA" to "for we're UGA". If I'm AD, it'd be a ballsy call to snipe Miles even if we tank this season and I'd struggle with it. If you make that move you better have significant support; a lot of people still back Miles. Not only support, you better get the hire right or your job is probably forfeit.

    Enough is enough. I'm kind of liking the Houston coach, Tom Herman. His branches are from the Urban Meyer and Mack Brown coaching tree. He is 40 years old. He has turned Houston around in his first year. He understands the media, he interned and worked in sports broadcasting while in college. He was a Presidential Scholarship recipient and is a member of MENSA, so we already know he is smart enough to know he has to go to plan B when plan A isn't working.

    I just hope he doesn't get the Aggie job when the ax falls on Kevin Sumlin.

    No doubt, and I sort of figured it was a auto correct deal. Still spot on. It is a ballsy move and I waiver on it. As it stands no, you probably leave him there and just collect 2nd place trophies until he is gone.

    It would take a couple of 5-7 and 4-8 seasons for the head of Miles to roll.
