    I like the Miles we had, not the current one.

    As for the team, Im a die hard fan and will always follow them. Ill always be emotional about them. Which is why Im critical, I want to see them do well.

    Im very happy with the play of Peterson. He is an amazing athlete, best player on the team. Im also happy with the play of LaFell, Dickson, and Toliver. I like what I see in Scott and Williams. I know many think Scott isnt what he was last year, but when given holes he is plowing through with serious intensity. Im also happy with the way the secondary has come around. I think the LB play has been pretty solid as well. JJ has done well when given opportunities.

    Ive stated what I dont like that Ive seen, so I wont get into that again.

    Uhhh, how many Mileses do you see out there, amigo? The 11-2, 11-2, 12-2, 8-4 Les was pretty good. I don't see how the undefeated 4-0 Les is a hell of a lot different.

    I do not believe that Miles should be fired, move on, or that it should even be considered at all. Are you honestly saying though that you can't see that he looks different or somewhat more sluggish? I really like him as a coach but he appears to be more timid than in previous seasons.

    I wish the guy another ten years here but I sure hope whatever is bothering him gets fixed. He really doesn't look like the same guy this season. Last season he looked fine and I truly believe we just had a rebuilding season. This year might just be a continuation of that and people need to understand this.

    Like I said he doesnt seem to have the same fire he had before the title. He lacks the balls out confidence and bravado that him better than his actual coaching ability. It seems to be rubbing off on the team IMO.

    I also dont like the fact that as a whole in the last year and a half we havent seen much improvement in the team outside of the Peach Bowl.

    May I ask you . . . What the hell do you base this "analysis" on? Be specific. :huh:

    In and attempt to hold the attacks at bay, he's displaying a bit of split personalities.

    I can only reply to what I posted but the way a man carries himself can be readily seen by anyone observing the person. It takes no special training to see that he carries himself differently than in past seasons. Maybe he's having personal stresses outside the game, maybe he's upset because he can't buy Evangeline Maid bread here in Baton Rouge. I just know that I've observed him every season he's been here and something appears to be bothering him. Also when you carry yourself a certain way it affects others around you as well. Maybe his players sense this.

    Either way people shouldn't be calling for anything other than a great season and while we have a right to worry this season is still full of W's.

    maybe he is actually having to do more coaching than he has in the past because he has a very young team, and a new defensive coordinator. That could be why he isn't "showing the same fire".

    I have observed him, I have actually talked to him, and I have failed to see exactly what you are tlaking about. I am sure from your TV you see things that most people could only see by giving the lady 10 bucks and having her look at your palm. However, you are not very specific, and this seems completely baseless. Is he not staying regular, not enough fiber? Is he limping? Does he have a nervous twitch only you can see.....what is it and what the hell does it matter if he beats UGA this week? Here is your story, he loses and you say you see what no one else sees on the sideline during the game. If we win, you say "hey, he looks right again". BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, A WIN OVER UGA is the only thing that will kill threads like this......PERIOD.
