LSU' s problems are a combination.
First, LSU' s expectations are too high. The fans believe every year the talent is super human when in reality it's about where everybody else is. If you look at history other than a few year stretch LSU is a 8,9 win team. They had a run but everybody does. Their program history doesn't bear out what fans expect.

Philosophy- Not sure what it is but they are continually whipped up front because they have smaller players but try to play smash mouth. They played right into a significantly less talented but better schemes wiscy teams wheelhouse.

DISCIPLINE- this has always what I thought was miles biggest issue. I heard Jimmy Johnson say u get what u expect. Kids are kids and will do nothing if not forced to do it on the football field. I don't see respect for miles from his players but actually see players who view him as a friend. When was the last time u saw him get somebody's arse after a missed assignment? He does that stupid thing of trying to hold his players back coming out of the tunnel. That's playing around. His players aren't afraid of him. Vince Lombardi said football is 20 percent talent, 10 percent scheme and 70 percent son of a bitch. Belichick said a coach is a dictator. Miles is viewed as a great players coach well so was mike Dubose. Those guys generally underachieving. Players need to be on edge, afraid of film study because of getting bitched out, and pucker up when they see the coach coming their way. He's a good guy and that's great but those guys aren't good coaches, they are good insurance salesmen. Yesterday's late hit shows the lack of discipline. Saban would have whipped that guys arse right on the field for that cheap shot. I have never seen miles get in a player's face, He just claps. There's no intensity from the players because they aren't afraid they're gonna piss him off. That player yesterday was talking shite to an asst coach after the hit. Where was miles? He should have been all in his arse. He was staying out of it. He has a problem with confronting his players.

LSU has a lot of problems currently, but this isn't one of them. LSU truly brings in elite players (you can't argue the product we place in the NFL year after year). Expectations are on par with the talent. The program's overall history may not bear this out, but certainly modern history does.
