    Huh? God forbid we should let facts get in the way of our opinions, but just for the heck of it, check this out.

    What coach doesn't? Nick loses games, Myers loses games, Stoops loses games. Some people seem to think that LSU has some god-given right to win every game but Les keeps messing up. Geez.

    I have no respect for the man Saban but honestly, there is no comparison to Miles. Saban wont two straight BCS titles. Sure he didn't have Bama ready to play Ou last year in the Sugar Bowl but he typically does.

    Again, losing is fine. The issue here is that Miles makes the same mistakes over and over with time management in more games than not. Some may not be costly but still inexcusable. Miles has not had LSU ready to play in 3/5 games this year with pathetic gameplans. I'm sorry, but that is not acceptable. The Miss ST loss should have never happened. LSU loses but fights hard this week that is not an issue.

    As for Stoops and Meyer they are both overrated. Good coaches but not as great as once thought. Meyer has not done much since Tebow and Harvin left for the NFL. So he high tailed it out of UF with his excuse of health and family.

    Absolutely. People like to point to a "downslide" after the '07 NC, but fail to acknowledge the fun and dominance that was the '11 season. It ended pitifully, but we kicked some major ass along the way.

    When have we lost two, let alone, several games in a row under Miles?

    Here's another thing ---

    There are several teams in the SEC that recruit, spend, work and set the same goals as LSU ---

    Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina to name the typical powerhouses/contenders. Now Ole Miss looks to be getting in the mix.

    These aforementioned schools all have the same point of view as us. The same "want" to win.

    So, at the end of the day, there is so much competition in close proximity to us. There are 6 or 7 teams in our conference that are our overall equals over a 3-5 year span.

    So we lose some of these games. It happens. I don't like it. But we lose them. We play them every year and they know us.

    But here's an important stat ----

    What's CLM's out of conference record?

    What's CLM's record against RANKED OOC opponents?

    So other than the gump coach is there anyone else that you would consider worthy of coaching your team?

    That still leaves poor coaching in all but the '11 season since the '07 Championship team.

    As for the consecutive losses. I was mentioning how LSU lost it's UGA, Ole Miss, and Bama games last year all the same way. The same as the Clemson game. That is unacceptable. Chavis may make the calls but Miles should over step him when is keeps making the same damn end of game mistakes. Miles should be more worried about Chavis than Cam.

    Not to mention Alabama was gifted a rematch after we beat them on their own field in front of their own crying fans. People wanna talk about gifts...
