It can be confusing when you reply to one poster but quote another. However, I agree with you. I was hoping to see Lee start the second half.


Im a confusing man, sorry.

The guy is deliberately ignorant. There is literally no point in talking or replying to anything he says.

And boy ain't it just like clockwork around here. Anytime a post about how Miles chose JJ over Lee, day or night, the same 6 or so posters are on here telling us to move on, ain't Miles' fault, look at his record, yadda, yadda, yadda. Why do these same people care so much about what is being said Miles? Maybe it's just a couple people with multiple screen names?

Suspicious.


I'm probably one of those posters in this groupe and I'm just gonna reply to this to say you are flat out insane. I mean....WTF

HOT DIGGY DAMN 21 PAGES OF PURE INFORMATION


And all I did was post the Blackwell's comments and I see that just doing that is considered blasphemous and I'm labeled that I have an agenda.


No agenda at all though it was relevant to post on a LSU Message board.

well...it does seem like you picked and chose certain quotes that could be interpreted by certain crazies on here as damning.

I only picked what the Reporter wrote and added nothing more. I did highlight the contradictory parts of the Reporter's quotes on Blackwell because I wasn't sure what Blackwell was talking about that is until I read this 21 page thread where all sorts of information popped out.

He wants Miles out,


If we go back to 08 and 09, we will see many of these same guys calling Miles out time after time for destroying the LSU program and leading LSU to college football doom.

Well, Miles made them look the part of fools by going in 2010, 2011 24-3, 15-2 in the SEC, having the 1st undefeated SEC season since 1961, and bringing LSU back to the BCSCG.

They mad he bitch slapped their college football thought process and made them look silly in doing so.

That's why we have 20 pages of bitching/crying over a maybe not returned phone call to an X player in the heart of the final stage of recruiting process.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As historically dominant as Alabama's defense was in 2011, the consensus among LSU fans -- or anyone who watched the BCS national title game, really -- has been that the Crimson Tide got plenty of help in New Orleans from a Tiger offensive braintrust that didn't do their own team any favors. But as now ex-Tiger tight end DeAngelo Peterson has made clear with his comments at the Senior Bowl, it's not just the fans that feel that way.

"The game plan we were working on before the game, I don't think we used it," he told reporters after Senior Bowl practices Tuesday. "I don't think we used it ... I felt we were going to run all the plays we'd been practicing, but they really were calling none of it. I just think the playmakers on offense, they didn't really have a chance to make any plays. That's the big thing that bothers me. We didn't have the opportunity."

Peterson added that he wasn't alone in being frustrated.
"The play-calling bothered the whole offense," he said. "They were doing stuff that we never did all year. The game plan was to spread the ball out, get the ball to me, get the ball to Rueben (Randle), let Russell (Shepard) run the ball every now and then, give the ball to our running backs. In that game, Russell played like two plays, Rueben had like one ball, I had one ball ... I feel like if they had went to the game plan and given the playmakers the ball, they would have done something with the ball."

Peterson felt free to speak his mind during the season as well. But he isn't the first departed LSU senior to publicly question the offensive coaching during the Tigers' BCS meltdown. Quarterback Jarrett Lee said at his own all-star game appearance he "could have been given ... an opportunity to come in and get something going, you know, give them, Alabama, something else to worry about." In the game's immediate aftermath, guard Will Blackwell described the choice between Lee and starter Jordan Jefferson as a "pick-your-poison kind of deal" before saying the coaches "picked the wrong one."

The good news for Les Miles is that to-date, the Tigers still on LSU's roster haven't expressed such doubts in the media, sparing Miles the awkwardness of potential suspensions or other punishments. (Shepard might be viewed as the exception after temporarily declaring for the Draft on Twitter, but now that he's safely back in the fold, that teapot-tempest already appears over.) The bad news is that even if they haven't expressed those doubts publicly, the agreement between the LSU seniors suggests that silence doesn't mean those doubts aren't there. It doesn't help Miles that the seniors have a point: weapons like Randle and Shepard should have gotten the ball more often, Lee should have seen at least a series or two, the play-calling was completely unimaginative.

It's bad enough to lose a national title game that ruins what could have been one of the all-time great seasons in college football. But if the Tigers continue to struggle offensively in 2012 -- with Steve Kragthorpe and Greg Studrawa retained to run the offense for a second year -- and those quiet doubts are allowed to fester, the fallout from that fateful night in the Superdome could make that terrible defeat that much more terrible.


There you go.

IMHO...there is not a thing Miles has handled properly since Jan 9th (or apparently the break before) and unless he pulls a rabbit out of his a$$ on NSD then I am officially concerned about the direction we are headed. When your own players and seniors are being this vocal about concerns and questions...there is smoke and fire bro

Jump ship man, find another team to root for. That's my advice.

Blah blah blah...


I like the Lee quote, completely fragmented to say something other than what he said. Probably the same with Blackwell.

Funny how a team can score 38 pts/game beating 8 ranked opponents 3 in the top 3 and still we get dumb crap like this talking about offensive struggles.

The fact is, our best offense is what Bama's defense is best at stopping. We run the ball, they stop the run. We didn't have the QB play out of JJ to even try to pass. Our OL didn't block well, JJ didn't play well, and we got dominated. It happens. Bama came with a chip on their shoulder becasue they didn't want to lose 3 in a row to LSU. Saban didn't want to lose 3 in a row to Miles (i don't blame him listening to the bama fan base after the first game), and LSU came out flat. Perfect storm for Bama to dominate and they did. Tip your hat, enjoy the fact that we will be preseason top 3 and a favorite to get to Miami next year.

The worst thing for the LSU fan base to do is always make the success we are seeing look less impressive. 13-1 SEC Champs, beating 3 top 3 teams, 5 more ranked teams, dominating everyone we played sans Bama. If all you want to look at is 1/9/12 then I feel sorry for you. But, if you keep it up we will be following in the footsteps of Nebraska with Solich. If you don't know about Frank Solich, go look at Nebraska's record with him and then look at what they have been after. Enjoy success while you have it, becasue it all goes in cycles.

Do you people realize that the special teams and def. was the reason for the last couple of wins. JJ was so great we put up 9 pts. in overtime. Anyone who thinks the situation was handled the right way has their head in the sand!!! I have never seen a recruiting season end like this for the tigers in years! Oh yea we were 13-1 and it seems like LSU should have to turn kids away but that is not the case!!!

Nobody is talking about getting a new coach, like Nebraska did. Where did you get that from?

Players and fans were and some still are upset about the way the game was called by the LSU coaching staff. Period. I do not give a rats behind about what Saban and Bama were doing, besides the fact we should have been reacting to it and it felt to most like we did not react.

Now you have the fans and the players reactions and that is all.

I hope there was a lesson learned there and we become a better team for it.

Do you realize we rushed for over 200 yds vs. Ga in just the 2nd half and almost 300 VS Ark for the game and passed for another 200???

Where do "you people" come up with your BS??

you know the guy Saban is 3-3 against


Saban is smart enough to make sure that HIS linemen can dominate the opponent, which did happen in the big game.

Is Coach Miles that smart? The big game says, No, he isn't.

In the "who is the better football coach" department, I give the edge to Saban. Of course, my opinion does not matter. The recruits opinions DO matter and Saban has out-recruited Miles since Saban went to Bama.

I am an LSU Tiger fan, but, I do concede that Saban is the better coach. He is even better now than he was at LSU.

Has Coach Miles improved as a coach? Or does he seem to slow to correct deficiences?

The only question or comment i have is look. Im a miles fan. Not hater. But what can you hurt by putting jl in the game at halg or shite even the 4th. He LITERALLY could not have done worse than JJ. Its impossiblE. So why not try to give the team a spark. It was obvisous JJ wasnt working. And i came on here and reported things amd one of those things most of the o lineman and te's are jl boys. I gurantee they would have played harder for him and in fact despite reports there were players calling at halftime for a switch. Straight out a playets mouth im friends with.
