The best season in LSU history

ended on a sour note. LSU was being touted as maybe the best college football team of all time and they get totally embarrassed in the BCSNCG.
I'm hearing fans here say it'll help the players focus and inspire them to do better next year. I have a hard time believing that. If I was a kid playing for LSU I'd be questioning the competence of my coaches. That happened at Alabama with Mike Shula and it 's the reason Alabama went into such a deep decline during his years there.
IMO Miles is going to have to win back his teams trust and confidence - and I don't think Miles is sharp enough to completely do that.

They're going to be better next year. We better get ready.

Did you play in the game? Stop the trash talk and show a little of that Bama class I hear so much about.

I'm guessing you either didn't pay attention to the Shula era, or you are 15. Mike Shula didn't inherit the best of circumstances and his background wasn't the best for coaching in college.

Since we'll actually have a passing attack to go along with our already stacked team I doubt they'll be uninspired. I wouldn't worry about us gump.

I expect LSU to be in Miami a year from now, but I don't think it will be because of some out-of-this-world passing game.

He was a players coach like Miles but he didn't have the backbone to be the headcoach at Alabama. I don't think Miles is sharp enough be the best and the top recruits want to be the best. If they sense their coach isn't the best that's when the real trouble begins. Bobby Hebert was right to question Miles decisions. I think the kids know that.

He was a professional football-lifer plugged into a bad situation in May of 2003. Not that ideal spot. He coached like a NFL coach too. That was his fall. Not to mention recruiting for the first time and inheriting a depleted roster. He in no way compares to Les Miles.
And before you call me a Shula apologist, and accuse me of one of those fans wanting him back for a fifth season, I wanted him fired too. However, I know why he failed. He was set up for failure with what he brought to the table (and no, not in a conspiratorial way).

You act like a fricking 18 year old douche bag. I bet Harvey Updick is your idol. You want to be just like him don't you?
