I have to say that he lost me early into this football season. It had been building. Clock management against Auburn in '07, trying to call a TO after and interception. Predictable play calling. And just a general uneasiness with Miles, and the way last year was handled.

But I have to admit, I was still on board going into this season with a coach on pace to easily surpass 50 wins in 5 seasons, a national championship and a great bowl record. And that allowed me to look past last season. Give him a pass if you will.

But this year has been an utter buzzkill. Watching the predictable play calling, the stoicism on the sidelines passed off as being a coach in control of the situation but really being a coach who obviously doesn't know what to do, the want to sound like a strong macho a-hole in his interviews and press conferences. There is a dark energy pervasive through the football program that needs to be attacked head on.

And I understand football wins aren't everything. I have at least some perspective here. But throwing JJ under the bus the other night was just pathetic. I respect guys like Tom Osborne and Bill Snyder. I could deal with a little less winning with a guy like that, but Miles aint that guy.

To me, Miles has just been going through the motions this year. If he wants to go to Michigan and MU will have him, fine. Good luck. Just stop messing with my Tigers.

Thabo Sefolosha played Kobe pretty well last game.

EXACTLY, don't wait for the right time, when everyone knows it has to be done and everything has fallen apart. As CLM would say, you gotta make a hard fast decision.

He was not informing the ref of what call to make, which is stupid even if he hypothetically was doing that (he needs to be thinking about the next play like all good coaches do). He was clearly calling for a spike. Its a throwing motion, calling for a spike. He lied. It must suck to have your coach sell you out.

Being incompetent is one thing, but putting the blame on your young qb and lying about it??

when he scores they play the LSU touchdown song.

The Double Double Machine! Storm Warren geauxin hard in the paint! Takin it to the Mecca!

:geauxtigers:

he has a decent arm
he has no confidence
he has a crick in his neck
he hangs his receivers out to dry
he will throw it up for grabs in a tough situation
he doesn't need to play

Tell me big Charles does not have Pittsburgh Steeler written all over him. The Steelers would love him, and they might be ready to part ways with Willie Parker. Mendenhall and Scott would make a nice combo in the backfield.

I think the best thing he can do to improve his draft stock is go to the combine and run in the 4.5s. Collegiate production is there, and the closer scouts look, the more they will like. Offering to play fullback, running behind an O-line in shambles this year. I just hope he finds a good situation in the NFL, like Addai did, and the Steelers seem like a great match to me.
