Well because for one, he's been around a little longer than you and he has a helluva lot better attitude...
The tale will be told on how successful Miles will be with recruiting if the players really are as frustrated as this thread suggests. Recruits talk with players about their perspectives regarding why they chose LSU. If recruits ask point blank questions about what is going on...it could get ugly.
Hmmmmm, this is from Williams and it is 100% straight up................ ""Whatever hand you're dealt, you have to learn how to play it," Williams said. He said the players know they need to play the way the coaching staff teaches them. "Coaches know what they're doing," he said. "They know how to beat football teams." Players are not handling their business, he said, and it unfairly reflects poorly on the coaching when, in fact, it's the players not doing their jobs."" This was in the paper today..........http://www.2theadvocate.com/stories/100105/lsu_tigers001.shtml
I really don't care who he talked to. This team is underperforming and yes I made that observation after 2 games. BP's defense was supposed to be great and deasy on the players I'll take the complicated aggressive route over what I am seeing. And on Sky what ever happeed to putting the ball in the playmakers hands. JV will NEVER be a brusing running back. JA needs the ball in space sweep sweep sweep it's not complicated.
This has been my fear. The players are giving up on Tepperlini. He's not going to change because he doesn't know any other scheme.
Did Les Miles know what he was doing when he called a to after the int? Is JV a bruiser? Kyle Williams and all football players, basketball players will say things like this publicly whether its true or not. I am skeptical of the coaches until they prove me right or wrong meaning I am on the fence.
The problem, I suspect, is not that certain players just refuse to listen to their coaches, as if they were simple non-conformists who think they know everything. The reason I say this is the guy who recruited and coached them before this season is hardly a softie when it comes to discipline or accepting anything less than a "my way or the highway" kind of buy-in from his players. If they toed the line previously and aren't now, it's because they've taken the measure of this new coach and sense that he's just not that good. These guys are conditioned to be led, since they were ably led by Coach Saban; it's when you sense the new guy can't carry the old one's jock in terms of coaching ability that the inmates try to run the asylum.
You, sir, are 100% correct. That's why, if Les doesn't get this sh*t straight and soon, you're going to see a real decline in future seasons.
I felt like our team underperformed all of last season, too--under Saban and company. Maybe we've assembled a group of talented, but selfish, guys.
Possibly. DBowe said after the national championship seaon that players had this, "well I've won my championship" and played selfish....he also vowed things were different this season....
