Before this season started, I predicted our record would be

    Let's see if LSU is an "A" this year. Stop trying to use Miles past to make an excuse for his present. If I start failing at my job it doesn't matter what I did years ago. I still get fired. Miles should be held to the same standard everyone else is.

    Any boss that fires a man with one of the best records in the industry for occasionally having a bad day is the dumbest fucking boss on earth. Anyone asking for a coach with an 80% winning record and two NC appearances in 8 years to be fired for having two 3-point losses is beyond dumb. Way beyond.

    Alabama lost home games the last two seasons for goodness sakes. At the beginning of the year, lots were saying (and I agreed) that Ole Miss was a trap game. Spurrier lost two games this year, Charlie Strong lost at home to UCF. I agree with you Red, these games happen. I still like our chances against Bama. Copeland should be back for the game which help Mett.

    I listed the reason Georgia, Florida, SC lost. What's LSUs excuse? Inept coaching.

    Also you're assuming I'm going home. Don't be a douche and act like everyone who complains isn't a real fan. I went to college at LSU, i was there in 95/96 when Dinardo brought back the Chinese bandits for the Florida game and we stormed the field. I'll be a fan until the day I die. I'm not some bandwagoner for the good years. But I don't accept piss poor game management and excuses.

    Miles has lost his fire since winning his ring. And unless he gets it back I think we need to make a move. I honestly don't give a fuck what our record was in 2011, that was the most embarrassing experience I've ever felt as a fan. But in your book that was an "A".

    Did Les check off to three drive-killing interceptions? Inept quarterbacking is the reason for this loss. A blind man can see it.

    You're again focused on the past. Maybe it's easy to think backwards when you're old. What's the difference between big game Bob and Miles at this point? If neither can get his team ready for games I'd rather make the move before everything falls apart. Waiting for 8-4 records or 7-5 records is way dumber.

    I'm focused on the big picture, junior. You can't see past one friggin' game. Wisdom will come in time, but you ain't there yet.

    Stop making excuses for poor coaching and not getting players ready to play. If Miles had done his job during the week the team would have done their job during the game. He didn't throw the passes but he allowed Mett to be continually put into that situation without making any type of adjustment. We were able to run the ball pretty much at will. Yet 3 times while moving the ball well THEY called the play with a deep man running across the field. Don't put Mett in that situation again and he doesn't make that mistake.

    What someone does 8 years ago is really irrelevant to what they're doing now. You're using the past as an excuse for Miles present, but the truth is the past 3+ years there have been some very serious issues! most of which were masked by having an extreme amount of talent. I don't know what switched with Miles after he got his ring but a SOMETHING has changed and not for the better.
