Yes, the team should play its best at home, and part of the team is playing really great. One part of the team, however, is not, and seeing the reaction and attitude of the one guy who is supposed to be a leader is quite frustrating to the fans. Added to the fact that the staff just does not seem to want to try someone else (JL), hence, the display of that frustration. Really, fairly understandable.
So Miles should throw JJ under the bus and publicly ridicule him to please a few idiot fans? You've never been a manager, that's obvious.
Sorry I struck a nerve...Les hasn't and probably won't 'throw JJ under the bus', and I didn't say he should. But, I still don't see why JL can't get some meaningful snaps when Miles himself has said several times that he deserves that opportunity.
As much as i hate to admit is Jay, there were boos directed at Jefferson. I mean i guess you could say they were directed at Miles for putting him back in, but in that last series when he came out, man there were some boos. There were more boos for that than there were when WVU took the field. And Jarrett Lee got a nice ovation. It really doesn't make sense, and leads me to believe that not too many people have much sense. I mean what happens if Lee comes out and throws a pick, they boo him too? Where does it end? Why would you want to boo your own team? I can understand some "awwwww's" but come on. It's very juvenile.
Miles is encouraging Lee. Miles says nice things to the press so Lee, who has already shown more guts than a lot of players, won't get down on himself. But, Miles watches both players play on a daily basis and Miles, whose job is on the line, knows JJ is the best chance at a win. Only ignorant outsiders have an opinion different than the insiders. Just use the brain God gave you. If Lee was better would he ride the pine constantly? Don't give me that "we'll never know unless we try" or "it can't be worse than what we have" crap either. The coaches already know what we have and Yes, it can be worse.
I don't know about the rest of you but we as fans have to speak up sometimes. What is up with the personal attacks in the later post? Does that make you feel better? Make you feel better to verbally attack someone. You must have been picked on in high school. I know my post made it sound like I was saying booing the players but it was stated wrong by me. What I was trying to say is that we have the right to let the coaches know how we feel. Les Miles is paid a lot of money to put a performance on the field. He is paid more than some NFL coaches. Yes we are 4-0. Who have we played? We beat a weak WVU team, MSU, Vandy and NC who was without most of their starters. Our offense needs to improve if we are going to have any shot at beating Bama, Florida, Auburn or Arkansas. Our defense and Special teams are great but we can't expect our defense and special teams to win every game for us. Especially when the defense is on the field majority of the game.
So you are saying that the coaches are always right? Kinda of nieve isn't it? Coaches make mistakes i.e. Ole Miss of last year. According to you, we should just all shut up and go along with everything even though we can see that there is OBVIOUSLY something wrong. People like you live in a dream world. It is time to wake up and smell the coffee.
No I'm not "nieve" whatever that is, but what I'm saying is that the coaches have the necessary information to make the decisions. I agree that there are improvements to be made on offense and you are free to state your observations and opinions. I'm awake and I smell the coffee...and It smells like coffee.
