if he put on a façade of seriousness it's more likely the players would see through it and respect him less. you have to just be who you are.

that could not be further from the truth
It is possibly the most truthful statement you have ever read on a football message-board. And if you have read even half as many as you have created, I think you understand just how serious I am.
Next, I'll get a poster with 300,000 posts telling me that college football means absolutely nothing and is just a silly game.

they'd be right.
What's going on in the Ukraine is serious.
Preventing a nuclear weapon from falling into terrorist hands is serious.
college football is a game played by 18-21 year olds. it's entertainment. it's fun. it's the opposite of serious.

Is Les Miles not serious enough?

Yeah, maybe so. All I'm saying is that I think he could be a little more of a serious type of person and could have had more success than he has had. That is something we can all agree on. Even a few LSU fans in this thread have agreed with me.
I totally disagree on this.
Again, why in TF do people think Miles handles his players and coaches the """"""""" S A M E """"""""""
way he handles the media ??????????
Don't you think that, just maybe now, Miles is a "little bit more of a serious type of person" in practice, on the sidelines, in games, and in the locker room with his players and coaches, than he is when he stumps the media with his cryptic and sometimes amusing anecdotes ?????????????

You are comparing apples and oranges. Many things are important and serious that don't revolve around war, threats of war, or destruction.
You imply that college football can't be important because Ukraine, because terrorists, because nuclear weapons.
I say college football is important to many people like you and I because you have 45 thousand posts about it and I love the game and take it seriously.

Oh, I see. So you are saying that public personas aren't always the true identity of a person.
Do you think Saban is a cruel, unforgiving, hateful, horrible, and spiteful person with no sense of humor that can't laugh and has no friends or do you think that is just his public persona?

And the fact that I have 45,000 posts on here and still don't think it's serious should tell you something about your world view. I know you live in Alabama and all but it's a bunch of people in college playing a sport. Your life isn't going to be any better or worse because your team wins or loses. And if it is it's because you have a problem with your perspective. Sure it's fun to get together, hoot and holler with your buddies, have a few drinks and cheer on the alma mater. That doesn't make the game or its outcome "serious".
LSU's funding crisis is a hell of a lot more serious than whether or not a bunch of people 10 years younger than me who I have never met are able to score more points in a certain amount of time than another group of people in that age range who happen to have attended another school of similar size in the same general geographic region.

Touche! Parties may be serious business but, not a serious money making business other than for a few party planners.
Also, hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people don't squander their lives on message boards talking about parties.

But it is serious. I know you live in Lousiana and LSU's games affect your very being, how you feel about your day, it changes for good or bad the way you think about things for maybe an hour or so. That is pretty fricking serious. A game that can change your mood is serious.
South American Indians had a game similar to modern day racquetball that was pretty serious. Many times, the losers paid with their lives. It was a game too but, if you die afterwards it has to be pretty serious doesn't it?

Key phrase in that paragraph being "a lot more serious". But, you do admit that LSU football is serious, just not as serious as funding is to you.
Kind of like how war and bombs and deaths are more important to you than football but, football is still important to you.
You can have more than one thing in your life that is important.

IMO, he just isn't that great of a gameday coach. He enjoys life and doesn't have to stress out much with recruiting since he has all of the talent in the world within a rush hour drive (not literally, but you get the point).

It's entertainment. It's no more serious than the next season of It's Always Sunny or the next Star Wars movie. Yeah I like it, it's fun, but it's not serious or important.

I don't feel you are being honest. You are a very dedicated fan, you apparently are devoted to LSU and greatly enjoy the sport of football, yet a loss by them doesn't change your mood even for 30 minutes, for an hour?
You feel no emotion? A win or loss by LSU is no more important to you or affects you no more than a leaf falling off a tree?
If that is true and that is how all LSU fans feel about the Tigers, maybe that is why their team hasn't been historically successful. Maybe it's a total lack of dedicated support. I still think you are fibbing though, because I've been to Death Valley and all of those fans seem to take the game and their team very seriously.
After many loses to one particular team in their home stadium, I've seen a great majority of LSU fans totally crestfallen and seemingly despondent afterwards. You know, almost medically catatonic.

When I was a kid or when I was going to LSU, yes. Now? No more so than any other form of entertainment. If I see a really great movie that will affect me a little and I'll talk about it with whoever I saw it with for a few minutes. Sports are about the same.
Again it's fun, I like it, it's a hobby. It's not serious or important.

People can be happy or bummed out about a lot of things. That doesn't necessarily make them important or serious.

you don't know the difference between "loses" and "losses", can't spell "particular" and yet use words such as "crestfallen"?
lol
i've seen alabama fans after losing to LSU over the last 15 years become insane, violent people both in BR and T-town. Yall truly are a special breed with no sense of humor.
