quote:The respectful tone of your post is disarming - I appreciate it and I mean no disrespect to you or LSU. However, I disagree wtih you about Miles and I'd be very very dissapointed if he were ever hired at Alabama. I do follow LSU football closely - I live in New Olreans. I've seen LSU teams play some really horrific games under Miles and IMO the reason they lost was becuase of Miles inferior coaching Xs and Os. The Auburn game last year is an example - Miles and Chavis couldn't have schemed much worse. Alabama played a terrible second half against Auburn too but they weren't outschemed and outcoached. They got outplayed and that's a lot different than being outsmarted.
He did just fine at Oklahoma State, where he was recruiting against Oklahoma and Texas for players. Turned them into a winner. And he's not just sustained a winner here, but he's taken the program to a level in which it has never been. I'm not trying to call you out here, but you don't know about us. You don't know about our program. Much like I'm not going to talk about Alabama's program, simply because I don't follow Alabama football as closely. LSU will be fine. Les Miles is a good football coach. One game doesn't wreck a program. Congratulations on the win.

LSU was lucky to even be in that game, thanks to amazing special teams play. Auburn was a substantially better team than LSU at that point in the season.
It was a tie game with 5 minutes left, against a team with a better running game and a quarterback that was 3x better than ours. Much like Monday night, I walked out of Jordan-Hare stadium knowing we'd lost to a better team. Those kind of losses are the easiest for me to take.
ETA: And it wasn't really Chavis who people criticized after that game. It was Crowton, for not trying to throw the ball downfield once against a really weak Auburn secondary. But overall, I still wouldn't say LSU lost that game because of coaching. If LSU would have been able to pull a win out on the road in that game, it would have been a huge, huge win.

Your an embarrassment to the Bama fan base. Mike Shula was in no way a coward, he may not have been a good head coach but a coward no. He took the job knowing the program was in the toilet. I did not cry when he was fired, but I was thankfull for him taking the job, and getting us through a bad period. Just go back to Tidefans and never come back here.
