They will, and the thread will have some good discussion.
Went 5 pages on the Tiger Rant. I dare say the people here are more intelligent than those over there.

I guess you forgot 0-5 against bama in their last 5 meetings. Don't really know because tl;dr..

Expecting more than that is straight insanity.

That's a narrow point of view. 0-5 against Bama, sure. But in reality, that's just 0-5 against a Top 5 team.
2011 National Champs
2012 National Champs
2013 Kick Six away from National Champs
2014 SEC Champs
2015 ...
There are a lot of teams that are 0-5 against that.

Without a doubt. The odd thing is that most would have agreed with you 3 weeks ago.

Tldr; only one division title and zero major bowl wins without Saban's players. Les Miles = CFB version of Tubby Smith

but what has he done lately? say, in the last 5 seasons. in summary, he hasn't been many ranked teams and his sec record has got worse each year. you know, like kevin sumlin.

Read through it. Some really interesting stats that shed some light on his coaching ability. One of the SEC's all time greats in a number of categories.
Posted on 11/20/15 at 11:11 am to Tuscaloosa
It isn't so much his career numbers, it's the current track he's been on since 2011 that concerns people. He's gone from 1st in the West in 2011, to 2nd in 2012, to 3rd in 2013, to 5th in 2014, and with a loss to Ole Miss would fall to 5th in the standings this year. With the way LSU has recruited, there is no excuse for that.
Posted on 11/20/15 at 11:13 am to Tuscaloosa
So you're saying there's no decline at all and LSU fans should just carry on without questioning his ability to beat top competition? Arky has improved, but they have drummed LSU the last two years and there's no reason to worry? His stats are amazing, but there's definitely reason to question his ability, especially these last two seasons.

A version of it was posted there 3 weeks ago. Certainly should be viewed and discussed here - seeing as how there has been so much discussion on the issue over the last week or so. Most SECranters don't have any idea how successful Miles has truly been.

Where are Choctaw and Beefense to straighten this morons out?

I started reading...then scrolling to see how much I had to scroll to get to the next post (I'm on mobile). Yeah tl;dr.
