Who cares about them? The only people truly committed to the program are the coaches and players, the rest of us are just spectators.

It's laughable that you think Coach Miles gives a rat's ass about impatient boosters or fans.

You better believe that's important. If Miles doesn't care about boosters, the AD will soon make him realize why he needs to.

Does a college head coach need to care about boosters? Sure, I guess.

Should that head coach let the mood of the boosters affect personnel decisions? Hell no.

This branch of the conversation started with the discussion about "Highly Touted" QBs, and 'Ole Stupid Les' can screw up any QB situation. And therefore we're screwed because without that Highly Touted QB [HTQB] we, that means Les, are a failure.

Here's a question about stupid coaches - Are they frying Meyer in Florida right now? Because they should. The clear favorite H trophy candidate that we are playing this weekend - was a Florida guy - and Urbane let him go. I hope your not going to tell me that Newton wasn't moral enough for this Gator team. How stupid does the 3 loss no offense anointed one look now?

Highly Touted QBs are like very hot looking women; you don't know what their worth till you get in bed with them. Colt McCoy and Greg McElry were 3 star QBs; if I cared I could make a list of HTQBs that were busts. And I can make an even larger list of HTQBs that played well on lo
ser teams.

The point - QB is one position on the team. Yes its an important position but you don't live and die by it like the NFL. If you have a coach that recruits good players in the other positions, like CLM; and he attracts good coaches, like Chief; then you can be undefeated, like LSU. And when you go through a streak were the highly rated QBs that you recruit don't work out as expected - which happens to all positions - the rest of your team can get you through. Which is were we are now. We did recruit QBs that were rated high enough that we should not be in this situation; but feces occurs. It's damn sure not perfect, it's sometimes aggravating, sometimes baffling, but we win a lot. And not many teams can say that.

I don't have a Sunshine up my ass view of Les. He's flawed, everybody is, but he's a lot better than a lot of other coaches. We are an undefeated, non thuggish team without the NCAA up our ass. I'm proud of that, its a small exclusive group to be a member of.

I don't have problems blaming Les for his FUs; but I also don't have a problem giving him credit were credit is due. That also sometimes feels like a small group to be a member of.

Does that mean you gave him some reputation already for his avatar pic?
