Sorry, but the thought of us going 7-5 and playing in the Independence Bowl doesn't do anything for me.
If you can't be happy with LSU football because they failed in your eyes to achieve the goal that YOU demanded, you might be a bad fan. I try not to be a bad fan. There's a good chance that LSU will win their bowl game next season. I certainly hope so, but, even if they LOSE the bowl game, that will not change the fact that CLM will be the head coach of LSU football in 2014.
And LSU's never been in a position to go to multiple National Championships, before he arrived. As for a change, well maybe you'll like Birmingham....I heard Betty did.
Well, I'm sorry that you won't like LSU football if they don't do as well as you expect. CLM will be the coach no matter what happens in 2013, so, deal with it. I certainly understand how you feel. I have been there myself. There were times in the past when I wanted CLM gone because I thought that there were better coaches out there -- better and smarter. I no longer permit myself to harbor those thoughts. The answer to all of such doubts is that CLM has an 81 percent winning percentage. The OTHER answer is that now the LSU powers that be have locked him up to a virtually permanent residency as head coach of LSU football. Case is closed. LSU wants CLM. I accept what I cannot change.
I expect them to do better than 7-5 next year also, but, I wanted to provide a guarantee of success for 2013. It's too difficult to predict the exact number of losses for 2013 because the 2013 roster is not completed.
This was the same game we've played under Les for years - we often win 'em despite the lame offense. I'm not excited for next year unless we get a new OC, and then... maybe. With no changes I expect the same next year - hope the defense kicks it up a notch. I feel like Les has squandered in the past and will squander in the future, opportunities. But, sure, all coaches have their flaws. I think what lsutiga said has some merit, though. 10+ win seasons aren't what they used to be. I'm thinking Les is our Lloyd Carr, Frank Solich, Phil Fulmer. That's good enough for a lot of people.
I just don't see much difference in criticizing the worst possible win (most games in Miles career) and the best possible loss. My passion is getting squeezed. How did Miles get a raise?
