Why do LSU fans still have an uneasy comfort level with Les Miles being a dominate coach?
Most do have a comfort level. But you are right about a select few LSU fans. Some of them have an uneasy comfort level because their nature is to be worried, negative and pessimistic. They have developed (unhealthily, btw) an irrational aversion to optimism and "getting their hopes up," and that has clouded their ability to rationally assess Miles and realize the rational expectations of success.

The rest just don't know dick about football but like to complain.

I actually like Mile's way of speaking and in person he is very well spoken and is kinda entertaining. As far as close wins they were wins just look back at some of the games Saban lost.

Honestly, I never got that feeling until I left Louisiana. Still don't succumb to it, though.

When deNerdo was coach I always had a premonition of catastrophe. Miles is a good SEC coach, period. PerryLouie and bum DC's screwed up last years season and Miles has now fixed it. After this season all will be forgiven.

Saban shouldn't have lost the '03 game to UF and Miles shouldn't have won the '07 game. It's the SEC - Schiitt happens.

I wonder if you have ever made a single mistake in your life in the heat of the moment and had 10 cameras watching your every move so that your decision could be dissected for the next 5 years?

Sadly, that's why I left. That and the irrational and archaic conservabots.

I find that most of my friends from north LA dislike Miles the most. I really think it is that mid-western twang that they just can't get over.

Prime example: Glen Dildeaux


P.S. I don't consider him one of my friends

3.75 million dollar coaches shouldn't even come close to producing catastrophes like that.

In general, the 2008 season left me with a pretty uneasy feeling. I don't mind an executive or managerial HC, as long as the bottonline(winning) occurs. I believe the conduct of this season will allay or reinforce some deepseated anxieties I have about Miles' ability as HC. KC.
