    O-line was a huge issue and the play calling did Harris no favors.

    Didn't have anything to do with Harris running the wrong way twice and overthrowing SIX wide-open receivers?

    Keep that attitude up. I'll give you a dollar when I see you standing at an intersection with your "Will Work For Food" sign.

    First off I don't think Cam called that game and secondly if you or any one else would like to pay me that money I will be there on Saturday.

    Not saying he did no wrong, again play calling did him no favors. So I assume you think the play calling was great then, and it was all Harris?

    There is also no excuse for how the team has shown up most of the weeks or the gameplans. No matter what excuses you come up with EVENTUALLY you have to look at Les and staff. There is no excuse there. Just like there is no excuse why we have not seen any sort of improvement through the season.

    LSU should not lose in the manner in which they did. Had they fought and been in the game that is fine.

    Also, like the article mentions Miles and staff have missed on quite a few kids over the last few classes specifically. Plus they missed out on Dak Presscot who is looking like a damn good QB. He would have been an excellent mentor for Harris.

    It does not matter who Miles brings in at OC, if we continue to see the same drabby, predictable play book. Say what you want, but that has Miles all over it and not Cam.

    I've been a Tiger fan since the early 80's with players like Hilliard, James, and Martin. Through my all time favorite Tiger Wendell Davis, up until now. So yes, I've seen it all.

    I know Miles has done a lot at LSU. I appreciate him taking LSU further than Saban.

    You bring up the past, that is irrelevant right now. No matter what Saban, Hallman, Archer, etc did or even Miles for the matter has to do with what we are currently seeing. I do not expect us to win every game. I just want to see improvement. Is that happening? Hell NO!! All we are seeing is regression. We are seeing a team that has not shown up ready to play in most of its games.

    You bring up the past and the Saban, Iowa debacle. He mailed in that game, no doubt. That said, he is a much better coach than he was then. LSU lost the Clemson, Bama, Ole Miss, and UGA games all in the same fashion. All were basically the same replay. That is poor coaching to not adapt. Since you bring up Saban, fact is he loses as many players as Miles yet competes for SEC and national titles and wins them. Miles has the same talent but is not coaching them up. THat is all I'm asking for is to see improvement. Take off your rose colored lenses and see reality for a change.

    Obviously you're not seeing what is happening on the field because your head is so far up Miles' ass.

    It is easy to see the gameplan. Once the Tigers are in formation and based on personnel it is easy to see what the play is and where it is going. That is poor coaching.
