re: Your Current Head Coach's Biggest Coaching Disaster

Most LSU fans will say BCSCG vs Bama, but why? That was a quick turnaround revenge game, by a Bama that was better than LSU..and coulda shoulda woulda beat LSU in the GOC with a PK and not for an epic Int. I liked Bama in both games..and far more so in the BCSCG revenger.

Some LSU fans will say Old Myth 2013, Ark or Ky 2007,etc..

But, by far Les Miles worst day as LSU HC was his learning curve era in 2006, when not picking on Auburn's Frosh DB from (Monroe-La?), inserted as a starter near gametime, and not working him over with Russell to his NFL WR corps(the way a Spurrier would exploit such)..

Miles heavyhanded Jimbo's hand(Fischer said as much on Finebaum later by saying LSU should've won that game with some ease), by running inside the Tackles all day, vs a loaded up Box, wasting precious downs and distance, and vs a new Aubie DC in Muschamp(whom knew all too well the entire LSU roster of starters he coached recently, their skill sets, and tendencies,etc..)

That loss cost LSU a rematch vs Fla in SECCG..by which time LSU was playing better ball than the Fla team they giftwrapped the Gator win in Swamp a few weeks later that year..

Refgate/Miles early SEC learning curve/hardhead/heavyhand cost LSU an 2006 Natty Crown that day on the Plains, imho.

Tenn 2005, playing the Vols former LSU QB Clausen and his noodle arm, 20 yards off the LOS on MNF/Katrina re-scheduled game in 2nd Half with huge lead, allowing him to dink-dunk the Tigers soft prevent D, when it was the only way his arm could win that game, also one of his worst LSU games..

Otherwise, not as many bad games as many Rantards/Negatigers, including myself, can truly bitch about. As many/most of CLM's limited LSU losses, are more plausible, and/or should be laid at the feet of his players, than in pointing towards the LSU staff.

So y'all would've been handed the crystal football on that September day in Auburn?

No see, if they'd beaten Auburn then they would have totally beaten a team that beat them by 2 TDs earlier in the year.

No, for Richt it is 2007 Tennessee. No excuse for that whatsoever. Complete disastrous meltdown against a team that had no business even making that a game.

2012 USC is a bad loss, but I actually put that one more on the defense due to the way the entire unit literally quit on the first play of the game and the fact that USC was actually a good team with talented players, whereas UT...wasn't.

Letting off the Gas and not running the ball down FSUs throat.

This is a golden post. I upvoted it.
I wish the SEC Rant's post quality was > 90% this rather than < .9%.

No it's not. YOu can at LEAST say tennessee won the east that year. Not excusing the game, because it was atrocious. But "biggest coaching disaster" in 13 years? Nah.

right year, wrong loss. 6-6 USC was unexcusable.

They won 10 games and finished in the top 15. That's solid any way you look at it.

They won something that Georgia didn't.

Huh? UT was a solid team in 07.

You're kidding...right?

You two cannot seriously be talking about the same team that I am. I'm referring to the UT team that needed VANDY to miss a field goal with :33 on the clock to win by just 1 point! Then let KENTUCKY take them to 4 overtimes so they could stop a 2-point conversion to eek out a 52-50 win.

THAT Tennessee team was solid?

They backed into the East title thanks to Richt's biggest coaching disaster ever, and it cost us not only the East, but probably the SEC and BCSNC as well.

the fake punt in the BCSCG was bad enough, but so was the inexplicable wildcat play that helped kill a drive. if CGM ran it because he wanted to talk with marshall on the sidelines for a moment, he should've called a TO instead....and i know he had a TO to spare, 'cuz they were trying to call one before the play that led to an auburn PI on FSU's final drive....
