I am right there with you. In fact, I like your post so much I am not even going to read anymore of them. I mean did you see that Ole Miss game? Ouch.
You know, I've been on the fence with Miles for years now. It's hard to knock a guy who won a NC just a couple years ago. But I've come to the conclusion that Les Miles is to LSU football what Smoke Laval was to LSU Baseball. Both took over from legendary coaches. Both inherited a wealth of talent. Both rode the inertia for a few years until it just ran out. That's what I see in Les Miles. And it is painful to watch a powerhouse slowly erode to mediocrity. We saw it with the baseball program, and that's what I am seeing here. And on top of it all, the team just looks sloppy...all of the time.
why do you always conveniently read right past the parts where these "pumpers" are also acknowledging the bad things that happened? they're not pumpers. they're realists. they see the problems, acknowledge they're there, hope they are fixed, etc. etc. i haven't seen a single poster come out and say they enjoyed the way we won last night. not a single one did. we have issues. they need to be fixed. everyone knows it, and no one has even remotely attempted to deny that. but the minute any points out anything that was remotely positive you jump in and call them out because they don't agree with your warped view of reality that we should never ever struggle and our coach is the only one in the country who has ever made any mistakes.
that was a player's mistake, not coaching. on the other hand, our coaches told T-Bob to hold during Ridley's TD run, then told JJ to run backwards till we were out of FG range and get a grounding penalty.
I think you forgot the brilliant call on Ridley's last carry. Les had to have told him in no uncertain terms, "Get the game clinching first down then hand them the ball back".
