It's gotten stale my man. Look I was a Les Miles fan for years, I lead the Les Miles charge. Always made excuses, touted the record. But if you want to talk about numbers, the only ones that matter are 2012 through now. Les has had guys on his team that are blowing the NFL up right now, but game after game we see lesser opponents hanging around, and top competition beating us. It's not so much the Alabama thing, it's getting embarrassed by Arkansas and Ole Miss, not showing up in bowl games, finishing in the middle of the SEC West. You have a right to your opinion, and if you think he can turn it around great, and I hope he does, but I don't think he can, and I'm tired of seeing what should be an offensive juggernaut flounder in big games.
yes, yes he does. treadwell, nkemdiche & tunsil, plus he hit up the juco to get chad kelly. look at the all sec teams.
I know he can turn it around. heard all this bulshit before. "miles will never win an sec title here again" then beat everyone's ass in the SEC 8-0 &13-0. something I've never seen before at LSU. but under whatever the hell this f'ed up situation is, I doubt being "optioned" for a year, will motivate miles or any good potential asst.coaches or attract any new top recruits. guess we'll see.
You named 3 people. LSU has 5 NFL players on the O line alone, and a few more on the bench for the O line.
It's not about beating Saban, I'm not sure why you keep harping on Bama and Saban. It's about playing quality football. It's about meeting potential. It's about fixing something that's broke instead of burying your head in the sand and pretending everything is perfect. Miles has failed miserably to recruit, develop and field a decent QB. He has failed miserably to come up with a balanced coherent offensive scheme. He has failed to meet the potential that his recuiting and coaches pay says he should be able to. However the straw that broke the camel's back for me is his denial that there is a problem and his refusal to adjust despite his teams total collapse. I was a Miles defender until I walked out of the stadium after the Arkansas disaster. Some times it becomes time for even good coaches to move on. I firmly believe that both LSU and Miles need a change for either or both to move forward. Is it a risk to change? Of course it is. Should LSU fans just cower in the corner shaking in fear of change? Hell no! There aren't many goals in life reached without taking some risk. Miles absolutely refuses to take any risk and change his offense. That leaves only one option if LSU wants to reach higher goals than Miles stone age offense will allow us to reach. LSU can hide under the bed in fear of change and be happy in the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl every year or LSU can take a risk and attempt to do better. Given the clear direction of the program, it's a simple choice for me. I still really like Miles and appreciate all he has done, but it's time for a change and I don't see Miles changing in any way.
Among others. ole miss had a very good 2013 recruiting clasd. the problem with going juco a lot, is what we'll see from them next year. I suspect the dropoff for them will be drastic.
@Perple brought up Saban and says others are infatuated. Then he says Bama is just god's gift to football, always has been, accept it. When Miles started LSU was second to none. We weren't quivering in our lil boots resigned to Bama's dominance, we were beating that ass. Now what has changed? You'd have us believe the pinnacle of our program was a fluke and the only reason it was so is because we had Saban. Now that the evil empire has Saban order has been restored and we should get in the back seat with the rest of the SEC. LSU football is an escape, a fiction in this hard world, and the fiction you write is to roll over and beg for mercy. Weak sauce. That you can't be critical of Miles is central to the issue; it is rational to question what we've been seeing and irrational to protect Miles from all criticism and hang your hat on air - he's gonna do it next year because he did several seasons ago. Only use the good data to judge Miles and evaluate the state of the program, and let's pretend everything else didn't happen. Capiche? Some sarcasm above:
