How long are you gonna beat the dead horse of "he averages 10 wins a season"? I'm amazed how you can defend the coaching.
LSU has made a good recruiter, and good man, but average head coach seem above average. Superior talent has masked this for a long time. Miles also had a string of really good luck. Even with the 2007 team he lost to Arkansas and Kentucky and became the only 2 loss champ in recent memory. You see what happens when the talent depth falls off a bit on the defensive side. It can't save a shitty fucking offense. I still think he was better back then, but maybe not much. It just feels like a bit of complacency sprinkled with a lack of championship coaching ability. His offense is stupid. It's like a German, taking a Frenchman, and trying to teach him Russian. Trying to make a dual threat quarterback run a pro style offense doesn't give him a chance to succeed, so they have to dumb down the playbook, and only use a handful of plays from a handful of formations, which makes LSU one of the most predictable offensive teams in the NCAA. If Les Miles wants to win a championship again he is going to have to hire an offensive genius and allow him to create his own playbook and install his own offense. But that's never gonna happen. Instead we are going to be stuck in a Joe Paterno situation where we are stuck with him as long as he wants to be here as long as he keeps winning 8 games or more. Or if people just stop coming to the games.
Tell Tell Jimbo there's 6 on the table and get over here. Just be sure you get to your car after the game before his players do.
Saban walked out on LSU in a late December and the program had to hurriedly find an affable yes man who fit the suit. Miles can recruit but outside of some risks he's pulled out his backside that went well he can't X and O his way out of a paper bag. He might be one of the worst game day coaches in the country.
You have to understand the culture of LSU footballs fan base has changed. There's 102k in that place. 80k of them only are showing up to tailgate drink and try to get laid. They don't give a rats elbow if the team is 12-0 or 7-5. Most of those are going to defend the status quo. They equate a successful season to their beer being cold and the jambalaya having enough seasoning. There's more apathy in the program than you think . At most programs that apathy resonates in low ticket sales. At LSU it means people just stay out and tailgate longer.
