Are you happy with Les Miles? Do you believe he is the future of Tiger football? Do you think we hired the best coach to take over a Top-5 team? I still haven't seen anyone answer my original questions. I guess it is just easier to bash other forum members than to realize the truth.
Look dude, if Pipi Longstocking was coaching, people would support him. Fortunately, he's better than Pipi Longstocking...
It's easy to bash people who say stupid things. Any talk of firing Miles more than qualifies as such. And any further conversation with such a person would be equally stupid on my part.
I will answer all of your questions in order, I did watch the game last night. I saw a flat AU team and a fired up USC team. No doubt LSU is better than USC, but USC is not a bad team. I think LSU and AU are about even in terms of talent. Tubbs is a little ahead of Miles at this time, but not by much. I don't know, I wish that we would have but we didn't. No, we should not have been running the ball at that time. I understand their reasoning, but I hoped that we would open it up earlier. I disagree with you about my responses, I am just tired of all the Miles bashing. If we are so "talented" then why do we only have ONE preseason ALL American on the team? USC has 4. We have a great talent base, but we are not the only talented team in the SEC. We have a collection of above average players that play hard on Saturday and play together. We don't have any super talented players aka Reggie Bush, though and our coaching doesn't get enough credit for the record that we have acheived over the last year and a half. Jimbo was a "genius" when we won the NC, now he is "dumb." I don't understand how some fans can get so upset when we have only lost 3 games in a year and a half. Where were you in the early 90's when we would have died for a 8-3 record?:lsup: :thumb:
I love how tough Saltyone is on the internet. It is easy to call people names online, but you are probably a puss in real life. I bet if you met him in person he would be wearing star wars t-shirt waving his lightsaber saying "may the force be with you". Look in the mirror...you are the real tool. I can handle other people's comments and reasoning on this forum whether they agree or disagree with my post, but I never take shots at them based on their position unless one was taken at me first.

Well, calling for firing Miles is what I was objecting to, Deek! Who the hell cares about what Songy or Ott or you think about every little detail about Miles coaching? Not me! People here complain about coaches all the time, to each his own. I have my own opinions, but at least they are my own opinions. I do not even listen to media whores like Ott and Songy. But I've also got a right to diasagree, too. And as you mentioned it is ludicrous to consider firing Miles. As far as running the football, You might note that LSU wins almost all of the games where we run the football for 175 yards or more. "We must run the football" sound like good sound football logic to me. One-dimensional teams do not win championships. If you imagine that a sports media type like Jimmy Ott has greater knowledge of the LSU team than their own professional coaches with winning records, you are dreaming, amigo.
