This has got to be a cover...
Posted by Randy Gush on 11/28/15 at 11:12 pm
This is a cover to get the media off LSU's back while they buy sometime to pursue Jimbo and retain the recruiting class during the bowl season. This cannot actually be happening - they looked no different, in some cases worse and beat a very average A&M team - Les is talking like they are a different team and is 100% vindicated in his stubborn mind. This will not end well unless it's merely a cover to pursue other candidates.
As it stands we literally fell victim to the media spinning an agenda to keep LSU spiraling downward under the "leadership" of a very likable person and very average football coach. Who else sings the entire alma-mater on live TV? What a circus.

I agree with this - defensively we have made good hires that have done a lot to develop that side of the ball. They have been great coordinators, but are they the kind or leaders that are influencing the Head Coach or his philosophy? They fall in line which is why they were hired.

Cardinals - a perennial loser in the best division in recent years. Yea, not sure your comparison holds much water here. Miles was given a program one year removed from a national title. Arians has built the Cardinals larger in part with players that Miles could not win a NC with.
The reality of where we are as a program...
Posted by Randy Gush on 11/28/15 at 11:18 am
Some of this has been brought to light some of this has not... Nevertheless, we have much to look forward to with a new philosophy and hire. My rant...
I love how appalled the media is with how out of hand the Les Miles rumors have gotten, LSU's treatment of Miles, etc - when it's 100% them that have been driving the insanity. They have been making fun of this guy and his ridiculous antics for 11 years and suddenly the guy is a legend and one of the best coaches available.
He's 13-11 in the SEC the last 3 years - he's not taking the program in the right direction and it's wise to get out now while we are still in the conversations with the top in state talent. A couple more seasons like this and the program is in rebuilding mode. Not too many Saban's to come along and resurrect the program again. A good coaching hire now will be able to come in and immediately get higher production from this roster and program.
Miles has done a great job of retaining at least the passion of LSU, the statewide mystic that captures the pride of signing in state. That I'm grateful for - but when you have the most NFL players in the league, top 5 recruiting classes every year, and only 1 NC with Saban's players, something has to point to coaching and development. There are number of coaches that could do more with this team.
What I want in the next hire:
I want a coach who is willing to evolve, and show leadership in his ability to surround himself with coaches that are great in the areas where he is not. Passion is good but without preparation, discipline, and a clear direction it doesn't take much to lose momentum and the respect of your players.
I want to see development in talent and the players becoming leaders that believe in the system and process that is being instituted by the head coach and his staff.
There are coaches humble enough to look at another coach's success and at least ponder - what are they doing and how do I replicate and improve upon their approach? Saban would bring in Belichick every year to strategize and brain storm. He's hired people he does not like (Lane Kiffin) because he knows it gives them a competitive advantage to win and strengthen areas that maybe aren't his strengths.
I can't say Miles has ever been humble or wise enough to ever take that approach. He is the same guy that he was 20 years ago, refuses to evolve, hires only people he likes or has common grounds/experiences with, and has been arrogant enough to think he could win at LSU based on talent and passion alone. That's not leadership, it's someone who is disillusioned by what they've won, not driven by what they've lost. Someone who has a staff who knows nothing outside of what he knows, hired only from the coaching trees that he's familiar with or that share the same old school philosophies. He has no answers on how to right the ship because he only knows what he and his enabling staff knows and will never think to look outside of it because of his pride and ignorance.
LSU is making the right move at the right time. I appreciate what Miles has done but the future is brighter if we can get the right LEADER hired.

This may be the only nonsense Miles could actually understand on the rant.

re: Reminder: The Les Miles Show will broadcast from TJ Ribs tonight
Posted by Randy Gush on 9/8/10 at 2:27 pm to Kreg Jennings
Any question requests for tonight's show? The Tiger Nation deserves to know the inner workings of their beloved program. The nonsense no longer satisfies the true fan. I personally refuse to blindly support a man who's taking the program in the wrong direction. It's not all his fault but it certainly can't be blamed on the players. We have all the tools and the ultimate TOOL as their head man. Sadly they have no idea what it is to have a real leader leading them into battle. A man with a sound game plan, a swagger that is based on knowledge of their opponent and preparation from the week of practice. The players following behind prepared, because they've been living that situation out all week in practice. They know that Man leading them out can be trusted, is prepared for the good and worst. That's what coaching does, that's what we lack.
