Gotta disagree with you Ramah. You got personality, but you're off base with your assessment of Miles. He proved himself good last year with quality wins over Auburn, Fl., a good Bama team that skunked your beloved TT Red Raiders showing them what a real SEC defense does to Mr. Leaches offensive genius.
Miles went 11-2, lost to Ga. is the SEC championship after playing 10 straight weeks, kept his team together through coaching changes and Katrina disruption, with a talented but inexperienced QB, then went out and with a bit of rest, DISMANTLED a quality Miami Hurrincane team in the Peach Bowl. LSU finished #6 in the nation last year. Miles had a much better year in 05 than Sabans 04 season, with much the same cast (except an upgrade at QB).
If your expectation is a MNC every year, you should leave again, because your incessant whining is quite the bore.
You took the opinion initially that Miles was so-so at best, and your pride forces you to ignore his great success last year and look for the negative when all evidence is that we had a great season. Miles is better than you gave him credit for, and you can't bring yourself to admit it, and that you were wrong.
I did not know what Miles would or would not do at LSU, but I wished him success. When some wanted to throw him under the bus, with Pelini, after last years loss to Tenn., I said it was 1 game, give them a chance. After a year, I like coach Miles and Pelini.
You should never be in a position where you have to hope for LSU to lose, to make your prediction come true about Miles.
Look, we never won a nat. championship under McLendon, Stovall, Arnsbarger, Archer, Hallman (oh no), or Dinardo. Shocking? No. Worthless years of competition, well no, of course not. There are a lot of fine memories in those years of Tiger Football. I certainly wouldn't trade them to be a fan of another team, like Bama, cause they won some national championships in those years. I was born in La., my dad was a Tiger fan, and so am I.
To pull for LSU, you need to support the coach, and he has PROVEN he is capbable of leading us to a top 10 finish under trying circumstances. Enjoy what you have, it is good.
