Absolutely. Though I'm not old enough to remember it, I've read that the old Green Bay Packers in the Lombardi days had around 20 offensive plays. They just ran them to perfection. In fact, there were many times EVERYONE in the stadium -- including the defense -- knew exactly what the Packers were going to do and just couldn't stop them. This was one of his football philosophies: And I think part of the reason for such complex offenses is two fold: 1) this current generation of athletes has grown up with Madden and other football video games. In those games, picking the exactly correct play from a huge list is one of the main goals of the game and they bring that expectation to the real life gridiron; 2) with the astronomical coaching salaries these days, if any coach installed an offense with a relatively few, but perfectly executed, offensive plays, wouldn't that lead to at least the thought that, hey, anybody can do this job? And if anybody can do this job, then why are we paying Coach X $x.x million dollars a year? Offenses (and defenses, too, for that matter) have to be "exotic" and incomprehensible to "ordinary" folks so the coaches can "prove" they are worth the money they are paid. [/rant][/hijack]
If we can't "take back" our negative plays (my dad re-watched the game and counted 17 player mistakes that killed/stalled/slowed drives), then we can't "take back" our positive plays. Both are part of the game.
And for the Sabanistas which litter and poison the LSU fanbase, this will continue to be a problem regardless of who is coaching LSU as long as Saban is in Tuscaloosa. Lets face it, if Miles leaves, retires, goes the way of Jim Pittman (which sadly, a lot of our "fans" would love) and a new coach comes in, for the douchebag patrol who lie awake at night fantasizing about Saban, the new coach will be on a short leash with LSU "fans" rubbing their hands togethor breathlessly anticipating the opportunity to bash him.
Be careful, they are lurking as we speak......waiting to pounce on anything UN-Saban like. They have erased every loss he ever had from their memory bank and now wear matching bracelets that say: WWSD (What Would Saban Do?) They are a sad and pathetic bunch that will not move on like all of those Bear Bryant fans at Bama you many years.
Holly Rowe interviews Miles Earlier on sportscenter, Rowe interviewed Miles inside the swamp. Typical Miles, he sounded clueless. One question she asked was about clock management and what LSU needs to do to improve on that. Miles response was..." We know what we're doing there, we're beyond that. We're just focusing on our next victory. " Are you phucking kidding me Miles!!! You have absolutely NO CLUE what clock management is, as you've proved over and over again since becoming coach. So yet again, i'm sure no time in practice this week was allotted for clock management in a two minute drill. But after the UT game you called bullshyt on the team. Well I call bullshyt on you Miles. These kids only do what they are coached to do. So all the stupid mistakes they make are due to the fact their head coach is a clueless ass clown. Thanks for making LSU the laughing stock of college football.
Congrats! You are the 172,512th person this week to say Les Miles sucks. We get it. Noone is happy about last week's game. Time to move on. We play Florida tomorrow. Let's support this team we love. They need us.:LSU231:
