Good article and is true. I think some people will only be ok unless we win the SEC CG every year. The SEC is always going to have 6 good teams. In order to go through undefeated you have to have a dominant team which means a very experienced QB with a great defense. ( Auburn last year ) LSU doesnt have that this year. Thay have a lot of talent and a good team. Their QB has alot of potential and has played good not great. Realisticly with Russell and Perriloux i see that in our future not our present. This team finishes 9-2 or 8-3 with a bowl win and i am happy. Any better i am thrilled. Any worse dissapointed.
What a complete BS read. Saban won 10 or more games every season he coached LSU. Nonsense!!! If you do not believe me, then just ask Mr. Know-Nothing aka Ramah!
in my opinion, the coaches rank like this.... 1. Nick Saban - accomplished alot in 5 years, just think if he stayed at LSU like a Bowden or Joe Pa... domination. 2. Charlie Mac - we all love the guy, and he had a great record. 3. Paul Dietzel - led LSU to thier first recognized National Title and had LSU's only heisman winner. **Note - the only coach ever to succeed at winning a conference championship at the Coaches Graveyard ie U of South Carolina** 4. Arnsparger - could have been #1 but didn't stay long enough.
>>>Don't get me wrong, I honestly believe that Nick Saban is the best coach LSU will ever have.<<< Then if Saban is the best coach LSU will EVER have, Ramah......then all is lost? We will never have the team you want? Not arguing. Just curious.
Mine: 1. Saban 2. Dietzel 3. McClendon 4. Arnsparger Dietzel had a powerhouse going, and won the nat. championship.
Not a bad post, but ignoring---as all of Miles' defenders seem to do---the fact that his conservatism and highly-questionable game and clock management helped to facilitate the largest come from ahead defeat in the hundreds and hundreds of games played at Tiger Stadium the past century plus puts a rather gaping hole in the air of smugness such people try in vain to project. Lose in overtime to a top 10 team in a game that was close all the way---or even one in which LSU trailed big early and rallied---is one thing. Blowing a 21 point lead at home, all in the second half, to a team led by a former LSU 3rd string QB who rode the pine behind two marginal at best NFL prospects is, in quite the understatement, something altogether different. Les Miles is *not* above reproach, even this early in his LSU career. His reputation of not being able to manage large leads precedes him and, as such, will remain an issue unless and until he proves otherwise. Riddle me this, o Miles apologists: do you think Nick Saban woulda lost that Tennessee game, one in which his team held a 24 point lead (since Saban would have, assuredly, picked up the 3 pts Les Miles and JR left on the field in the first half) at halftime?
all people see when they look at Saban as coach at LSU is the NC :crystal: even the NFL did it. and to be honest it wasn't just the NC, it was his drive to win, and win or lose he had the ability to instill that in others. he had that. Miles might have it too we'll see i guess.
