EllisHugh 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 If Saban turns down 'bama, I might have to pay for a subscription to TiderInsider just to watch the meltdown. Go ahead and waste your money. At the end of the week, we're going to have a good coach... Saban or not. You on the other hand, will have Les Miles. Things could be worse. We could have a coach who is 0-2 vs. 'bama instead of 2-0. We could have a coach who is not 23-4 in his 1st 2 seasons at LSU (which is better than Saban). We could have a coach who 13-3 in conference play in his 2 years at LSU (which is better than Saban). We could have a coach who has not yet made it the the SEC Championship Game (Saban made it twice in 5 years). We could have a coach who has not yet made it to a BCS game (Saban made it twice in 5 years). We could have a coach who did not post the 1st back to back 10 win seasons in LSU school history (2 10 wins seasons under Saban in 5 years).

You guys have lost some games because of coaching alone. There is no reason why LSU couldn't have made it to the SECCG this year.

One of the worst coached games I have ever seen in the SEC. No disrespect intended, but that's just a silly comment. Talent does not win games by itself. It's a very big piece of the puzzle, to be sure, but you can't just glibly attribute Miles's record to inherited talent. If you insist on denigrating Miles, then at least credit Bo Pelini, or Jimbo Fisher, or maybe the Golden Girls, but don't just say "he's winning on talent." There's some quality coaching happening in there somewhere. Ask yourself this: two years ago, what did you think Les Miles's record would be today? Probably worse than it is. If that's true, you have to admit you've underestimated the man. I can hardly blame you b/c a lot of LSU fans certainly did, and many still do.

EllisHugh 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Cmon now. Miles inherited ALOT more talent than Saban came in with. Talent alone at LSU is winning their games... which isn't a bad thing. One thing that sticks out on my mind is the game against Tenn. last year. One of the worst coached games I have ever seen in the SEC. Tennessee was the 3rd game of the year that had been cancelled/rescheduled. In case you forgot, there was the biggest natural disaster in the history of the United States in Hurricane Katrina, which was then followed a week or so later on the southwest coast of Louisiana by another hurricane, Rita, which was just as destructive as Katrina. That's right, LSU's 1st game was cancelled altogether because LSU's campus was used as a first response and triage center. Then the second game, a home game, was likewise cancelled and moved to Arizona State. Next was Tennessee, which was moved to Monday night. I'd say those are extenuating circumstances. I think it was more of an LSU team that was distracted and thinking that there was no way Tennessee could come back after being up by 21 at half. Anyhow, 1 conference loss during the regular season despite playing 9 consecutive weeks is pretty strong. As for talent. Dinardo didn't leave the cupboard bare. Perhaps Miles inherited more than Saban but ask Ron Zook if talent alone wins. Urban Meyer is winning with Zooks talent! And, Miles has proved that he can recruit. Look at last year's recruiting class and this year's recruiting class, LSU is in the top 5. One thing that Miles has done that Saban didn't is that he wins the games he's supposed to win whereas Saban always had a game or two that he was supposed to win and he didn't.

If you're happy with him, that's great. I hope ALL lsu fans adore him and that he stays there for many. many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'm not saying Tubby is a bad coach, but every coach has their games where they're outcoached and you guys believe Miles does it on a regular basis when he isn't. As a matter of fact, he's yet to lose to an unranked team at LSU. Can many SEC coaches say that after their 1st 2 seasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllisHugh 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 As I stated earlier, my point was that LSU's talent is being misused and does not play at the 100% efficiency mark. Riiight. Miles had LSU in the SEC Championship game in his 1st season and finished in the Top 10 (11-2) despite playing 9 straight as a result of the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history (Hurricane Katrina & Rita), which effected the State of Louisiana more than any other state in the union. Miles now has LSU in a BCS game and #4 in the nation. With a win against Notre Dame, LSU will be deemed the 2nd best team or at worst, 3rd best team in the nation at year's end. We can go round and round about Miles' ability as a coach, but to have 78% winning percentage against top 20 teams and a 84% winning percentage in 2 years is the mark of a better than average coach. In fact, he has the same amount of wins at Urban Meyer in his 2 years at Florida. The difference is, Meyer got some better breaks than Miles did...and that is how the ball bounces sometimes.

In fact, he has the same amount of wins at Urban Meyer in his 2 years at Florida. The difference is, Meyer got some better breaks than Miles did...and that is how the ball bounces sometimes. Shows you the talent you guys have at LSU. I'm still convinced he is not a perfect fit given the fast athletic type of football over in Baton Rouge. You guys could probably have another National Title on your hands given the right mind at the headset. Also, lets not ignore Fisher in this argument. He has been a big factor in LSU's success.
