Funny thing, the more people criticize Les Miles, the better I am starting to like him. He definitely can get the talent, and has won a National Championship.

Miles has balls of titanium and a brain of the same. And he loves to call that fake field goal.

I don't like him much but it only has to do with an Ohio boy turning traitor and going to Michigan.

That fake field goal against Flor was crazy. Not sure why the ball always seems to bounce their way.
Yes!

And Yes!
Okay these are the 2 parts. But how many times have we heard someone reporting the stats, the odds, the chances...on things like going for 2, going for it on 4th, fake field goals, fake punts, on-side kicks, etc. I think Miles, perhaps, is just backing up all of those studies...using his brain really!
And I'd guess and say to the tune of about 2 maybe 2.5 wins a year. So 2 wins could be what, worth 15 to 25 levels in ranking? But he only gets about 60% credit for his cats, as voters have those wild plays and things in their head when assessing. So (15+25)/2=20 spots on avg...then times 0.6 = 12. Saying LSU could be 21st ranked rather than 9th. Yeah, I'd say that is somewhat close to where his team might be if the Madhatter let his boys get by on base talent and conventional play calling.

Wow. Where you been?? Good to see you back on.

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.
The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.
See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Good to see you around. Nice win Sat. against Bama. I don't root for LSU often (actually almost never) but it was nice watching them beat Bama. That 4th and 1 call in the 4th quarter was great!
