re: For the old-timers...when did Cholly Mac first get on the hot seat?
Posted by TigerBender on 1/31/13 at 6:02 pm to AlwysATgr
I don't know about y'all, but from 1969 to 1979 I can remember leaving tiger stadium at least once or twice a year with my dad threatening to beat Cholly's brains in.
It was really bad in 1974 when we thought we were going all the way only to fail again.
My dad's gone now but I can still remember him jumping up and down in the living room one afternoon hollering yes finally he's gone. We thought he had lost his mind. He finally calmed down enough to tell us Cholly had been forced to retire.
So what we are seeing right now looks like an echo from the 70's.
And this is definitely the best thread I've seen in years.

Not true they were still running most of Jimbo's offense for the 2007 year. The personnel didn't fit Crowton's offense. In fact Crowton said after he left they never ran his offense the whole time he was here.

The BEST that any fanbase can reasonably hope for is that the program is put in a position to COMPETE for championships. Especially in today's college football world, as there are great athletes at every school.
If the Gump's felt this way too we would be the ones with 3 out of 4 NC's.
But they feel like a NC is the only acceptable outcome every year so they have the crystal balls instead of us.

First, this sentence is inaccurate. Second, the day the AD and/or TAF get involved in assistant coach hirings is the day many fans walk away. The AD hires the head coach. That's it.
If you don't think the money men a TAF call the shots, your delusional. I worked at the time the decision was made for one of the TAF board of directors. That is exactly how it went down.

It's laughable, the lengths you Miles haters will go, to discredit what the LSU football program has done since Miles was hired.
I Am not a Miles hater. But changes need to be made on offense and if he won't do it then we need send him down the road. The putrid offense he has put on the field for the last 5 years is unacceptable. Les Miles is not bigger than LSU. And the AD and TAF shouldn't have to threaten him to make a change the way we did to get Chavis.
We did get into the 2007 NC game because a couple of other teams lost. And can you ever remember another 2 loss team getting into the NC game. So we did in sorts it was a miracle we got in.

it's true, such a shame bama got the mulligan. the lineup of giants that LSU slayed that year might've been unprecedented, but for many, 1 loss erased 13 wins.
It's not the loss but the way we lost. The lack of a game plan. The fact that Miles quit on the team half way through the 3rd quarter. Not being able to cross the 50 yard line. The lack of in game and half time adjustments. All the 3 and outs. We did the same crap against Clemsen. We can't continue to leave our defense on the field for 40 minutes of every important game.

Do you think the Gumps would put up with this kind of crap (not no but hell no). The goal every year should be a BCSNC anything else is unacceptable. And we should make changes until we get there.
And I been sitting in tiger stadium since 1964. So I have seen the bad years. In no way will i ever be ok with not beating the Gumps. And you watch it will be 4 out of 5 BCSNC's for Bama next year. Are you really ok with that I'm not.

He is responsible for all that. And stud is not a poor oline coach. I blame 08 and 09 on saban not recruiting well enough at that position his last 2 seasons. Lets not forget in 05 saban only had 8 committed players before he bolted to the nfl.
Miles was not responsible for the Chavis hire. That was all the AD and TAF.
And even Hebert and Deke said Stud was just a marginal o-line coach on the radio last week

some of the responses in this thread have me wondering how our fanbase made it through seasons prior to Miles when we were losing 3+ games every year.
It wasn't as bad because we knew we didn't have the coaching or player talent to win a NC, at least before Sabin came anyway.
And like others if we showed up a gave a 100% for every game and lost I can live with that. But at 2 or 3 games a year we play down to the competition (Towson ring a bell. Or Miles has a brain Fart and loses a game do to poor coaching.

Not near as much as not making it across the 50 yard line on 1/9
Not near as much as our putrid offense we've been showing since 2008.
Not near as much as the total brain farts that Miles has at least once a year. Like the Tenn game where we needed a 13 men on the field penalty to get a win after time expired due his clock mismanagement.
Not near as much as losing to Clemsen by throwing instead of running out the clock in one of the worst displays of coaching in college football history

Second, I'd put Les Miles on notice. If the offense isn't ranked above 75 nationally in total yards, he's fired a John Chavis will help me pick a head coach.
I wouldn't touch men's basketball. Women's would get this year as a free ride as well. No complaints about softball or volleyball. Track needs no discussion. Women's soccer is no big deal but we'd like to be more competitive. I'm sure I'm missing something. I gave you my $0.02, what's yours Mr. AD?
FIFY

Don't know what you consider wide. But winning 3 BCSNC's in the last 4 years looks wide to me.
1/9/12 we never made it into Bama territory. Looked pretty wide to me.
Looks like there's about a 100 point increase in IQ when you cross into Alabama. While Les is chewing grass, Sabin's chewing arse and winning NC's.
Call it what you will Miles is Sabin's bitch and it kills me as a LSU alum and fan

Nick Saban don't beat you with scheme. They beat you by training their guys to be tougher and meaner than your guys.
Not true!!!! Sabin's team are disciplined. No unnecessary penalties destroying drives. He doesn't lose players due to bar fights. He doesn't lose players habitually due to failed drug tests. He has an offense that throws to the tight end more than 1 or 2 times a year. He actually knows what a 4 WR set looks like. He's ahead by 20 points and still blitzing instead of letting the other team come back by playing prevent defense.

So if LSU loses 3 regular season games, but beats Bama and someone in a meaningless bowl, you're happy?
Regardless of what you think. My family has been sitting in Tiger stadium since the late 40's and I have been going since 1964. Beating the Gumps has always been the gold standard.
Whether you realize it or not(Sabin knows)winning your bowl games affects recruiting in a positive way and will sometimes keep existing players from leaving for the NFL.

Would never happen to any program outside of Bama and USC. Without ESPN shamelessly "promoting? Bama for the BCSNCG last year, they don't get in. Without the SEC office "giving" Bama a weak-arse schedule this year, they don't get in
Your just making excuses. If LSU had addressed it's putrid offense sometime within the last 5 years it would be us with 3 BCSNC's not the Gumps.

To the Sunshine pumper 10 wins is the gold standard
To the (realist)negatiger 10 means squat unless 1 of those wins is against the Gumps and the bowl game.
To the sunshine pumper 1 BCSNC with Sabin's players is the Gold Standard.
To the (realist)negatiger 3 out of 4 BCSNC is the gold standard.
To the sunshine pumper having an offense for the last 5 years ranked below 73 in the nation makes Miles great and no offensive changes needed. Can't be Miles, must be lack of talent, poor execution, etc., etc., etc.
To the (realist)negatiger 73 or worse means, the facts don't lie it's what we see every week on the field. Time hire a new OC. Time to change offensive schemes. Time to get a real QB coach.
To the sunshine pumpers clock mistakes are acceptable as long as we still win 10 games a year.
To the (realist)negatiger clock mistakes that continue to happen again and again means Miles has a screw loose and needs to let someone/anyone other than him manage the clock.

I will pull for LSU because I have been going to tiger stadium for 40 plus years. And my dad, mom, myself, and 2 of my kids graduated from LSU.
But I am now resigned to the fact that we will never be able to compete with the gumps as long as Miles is there. So I have lowered my expectations to be ok with 9 or 10 wins a year, beat the Gumps and win our bowl games about 1 out of every 4 years.

This belief that Les is scared to open it up is false. We tried and failed when the WR kept killing drives when we all discovered they forgot how to catch the ball.
Then the line couldn't block... no time to throw. It isn't him scared unless it was scared that Mett would die.
More like trying to win instead of being scared. Then we have a full back and some of the rb's that can't pick up the blitz and a qb who couldn't see it coming.
It isn't that Miles is scared it is that the team couldn't do it.
I might be able to buy this for one year. But we have seen the same old shi--y offense for the last 5 years, the same moronic clock screw ups ever since Miles has been here, total lack of player discipline since the Sabin players left, rampant player drug use, too many issues to even list.
