Re the Youtube vid

Miles says "I'm listening to the headphones...." (He goes on to say "there is no clocking it")

Well, I see Miles listening to his headphones. In fact, at the :28 mark of the video, Miles can be observed skipping. Whatever iTunes tune he had playing at that time must have been a pretty festive song.

Anyway, more seriously, pretty damning evidence that he was indeed calling for the spike (prior to the skipping, I assume)

Wow, I watched this game last night, what a bone head. How do you let that time tick off before you call that TO, and then call a spike???? I can see if you don't think you can get your FG unit out there, but hell at this point, try to throw a pass in, at least you have a chance. A spike??? Really??? Does Les know how the clock works? He should have just taken a Knee if he was going to spike it. I can understand mistakes, and not having your FG unit ready to run on the field, but I can't understand how a head coach could think a spike is a good plan with 1 sec left.

WOW.

This game completely epitomizes Les Miles as a head coach. He can recruit, he game plans well, he gets his guys motivated, and he's going to have a lot of success on the whole. But once every year or two, he's faced with a situation at the end of a game where he's got to make quick decisions. And he fails. Sometimes it doesn't cost the team the game, because LSU usually has better athletes than the team they line up against. But every now and then, just like last night, Miles' blunder loses the game. It's what you live with when Loose Morals is your head coach.

yeah, but if rumors are accurate, Saban contacted Bama expressing an interest in returning to college before Shula was shown the door.
makes the decision easier when a definite upgrade is applying before the job is open.

a guy I know is one of those guys that claims to "know somebody"
before Shula was shown the door, he tells me that Saban contacted Bama just to let them know he'd be interested if the job came open. Said Shula was done, and Saban would be the new coach.

I laughed it off, because well, they had a coach who won 10 games the previous year, and figured Saban's ego was too big to quit on the NFL just yet.

don't know if it was inside info, or a lucky guess, but dude pretty much told me what was gonna happen, and it happened.

Les is being crucified by local media.
don't know if we're gonna come out on the other end of this fiasco.

radio is doing a special "point after" tonight about the LSU game.

normally on Sunday's it's a Saints show, run by Saints people, on a Saints network.

so that'll give you an idea of what is happening.

P.S. today the Saints broke the franchise record for longest winning streak, and can clinch the division next weekend, but the network ain't even mentioning that tonight.

Had to turn it off before I broke something.

That's a M*ch*gan man for you.

Wow.

Sitting there, bold face lying and blaming it on his players.



The negative recruiting just got a whole lot easier for the rest of the SEC.

i never thought i would come close to what I felt after the '94 Auburn game again, but this is in the ballpark.

actually in the dugout.

probably more like in the batter's box.

we hung with both of them this year.

Do I think Miles is the best coach out there? no, I don't
Do I think he should be run off? probably not a good idea.

geaux ahead, fire a guy that's 9-3, has a NC, and an SEC championship.

then sit there and wonder why no coaches are answering your phone calls. why no one is interested in the job.

wonder why we're settling for the 12th guy on our list.


NOBODY is going to want the LSU job if Miles' accomplishments will get you fired. NOBODY!



Remember Cholly Mac? run off in '79 because he couldn't beat the Bear? 2 decades later we found a coach worth a damn.

Remember Gene Stallings at Bama? wasn't winning enough after the '92 title, "resigned" after a 10 win season in '96. only got 1 SEC title in the 15 years since.

How about Frank Solich fired after a 9 win season at Nebraska. They haven't been a household name since.

I think Les has all those accolades in spite of himself. He did some pretty retarded things in 07 and still stumbled his way to a title. The only real reason I had any confidence against you guys that game was because I was counting on at least 10 points from his bonehead moves.

true, but same could be said about Solich.

dude was never gonna duplicate what Osbourne did.
and yeah, he may have eventually brought them downhill.

But the perception was that 9-2 was "moving in wrong direction".
Everybody and their brother turned that job down, because:

If 9-2 just two years removed from a NC appearance gets you fired, what does it take to keep your job?


That's the boat we'll be in if we fire him now.

+1 if it wasn't for the fact that LSU squad had superior talent at many positions, that 07 NC could have been have been a repeat of the 2004 Alamo Bowl :biggrin:

I mean, seriously, grats on the title, but you won it in arguably one of the worst years for college football EVER. You lost the very last game of the regular season, yet still played on your home turf for it all.

I"m grateful as hell for LSU fans and their hospitality. Some really great folks that we had fine game conversation with - but bottom line, if tOSU was deemed "unworthy" then LSU should have been just that but 3 fold.

That would be pretty impossible for anyone. LSU has played pretty close to 2 of the top 3 teams in the country. I doubt Miles will be gone. If they do fire him, I agree with you, it will be very hard to fill the position.
