All the more reason to wonder why such mediocre performance


It's because Les Miles is a bad football coach and an excellent recruiter.

In the college game, talent gets you ten wins, coaching gets you twelve, and leadership gets you fourteen. See Les Miles' tenure in Baton Rouge for an example.

Awe snap what I had meant to say was Odell Beckham & whatchamacallit both didnt have to play offense. One of them could have been a good DB.

that's great that you can just declare statistics discredited because you don't "give two shits."

GTFO bitch

If we had gone up tempo the defense just looks that much worse, how is it this hard for your pea brain to understand? This is why teams like A&M will never have a good defense.

We had a ball control offense and the defense still managed to give up 435+ yard sin half our SEC games including 2 performance of giving up about 40 points.

They were great individually but couldn't get the job done, which again hearkens to my original statement - Les Miles is not a very good football coach and is a great recruiter.


Its says more about Leslie's inability to develop and recruit depth.

I love how everyone wants to jump on Saban if he loses a game or doesn't just blow people out because of the talent we have. Yet Les gets a pass for having all that talent and underachieving.

Because guess what, AVERAGE statistics dont matter when you're giving up 41 and 38 points dolt.

I hope you're joking.

Les gets 100x this crap than Saban gets. It's almost like Bama never even got embarrassed by Trevor Knight last season at this point.

Ole Miss goes up tempo and had a great defense this season?

No matter how much you want them to be called "shitty," the 2013 LSU defense was an above-average defense. Spin it as much as you'd like, but the numbers don't lie, you stupid frick.

It must really suck to have nothing positive to say about your own team. The last time I remember Ark being part of any relevant football conversation...LSU proceeded to stomp your sorry asses 41-17. That was 3 years ago and you've sucked ever since. Get used to the "spoiler" role because you will never be a contender. It starts with recruiting and I don't see many Top 100 kids knocking down your doors. That's how it's been for decades and I don't see it changing any time soon.

Did an LSU fan kick your arse over a parking spot during the holidays? Your hate for us seems to be getting the best of you these days.

Les gets 100 times the shite Saban gets because Saban wins a lot more?

Except it wasnt in games where it gave up a ton of yards or games where it gave up 41 and 38 points. Do you not understand average statistics doesnt win or lose you individual football games?

What's better a team that gives up 40, 40, 0 and 0 or a team that gives up 20, 20, 20 and 20?

Both average out to 20ppg

LSU may rely on raw talent to mask coaching deficiencies, but we do not, we have actual coaches who other schools covet.

That is the difference between all you top 100 kids failing to score a single point while giving up 17 to the oppositions in game.

The last time I remember LSU being part of any relevant football conversation, they went on to lose 21-0 in the game that mattered, that was 3 years ago and they have been mediocre ever since.

Its funny that these commentators forget that defense is a part of football, too. LSU's defense took a major step back in 2013, mostly due to the loss of MLB Kevin Minter and because we were forced to play two true freshmen at CB (they came on later in the year).

Try and read what i quoted, the Gump was trying to say Saban gets this more than Les, which is obviously a cry for attention.

I think you're still missing the point that LSU's 2013 defense was better than "shite" and the 2013 offense was merely above-average.

Good luck with reading comprehension

You're missing the point it doesnt matter in the games we lost because they were shite in the games we lost.

Averages dont matter for shite when you give up well above that and lose the game.
