The Tiger is Coming . . .

Yes, the Tiger is coming. The LSU Tigers are coming to the fore light. Bama has one defeat and now both Auburn and LSU are undefeated. Auburn meets with Arkansas this weekend, a good and dangerous team but then so are the Auburn War Eagles (note I do not often refer to them as the Auburn Tigers, they do not have a real tiger mascot like LSU).

People have been bad mouthing Les Miles as head coach but he has shown them he is very capable. Urban, the man, Meyer found out - again last weekend. Florida got trounced by Bama and were expecting to just run over the LSU Tigers. Well LSU push Florida all over the field and in the end beat them at their own game. The LSU Tigers seem to be more mature, maybe error prone but more than make up for it.

Everybody says LSU has no offense. That's odd since LSU had more than 100 more that both Tennessee and Florida. So that non offense offense beat them.

And now LSU has a two quarterback system. Both quarterbacks do some things well. Right Jarret Lee is really throwing the ball well. And Jordan Jefferson is running the ball well. But each can run and each can pass. Makes it a bit hard for the opposing teams defense.

Geaux Tigers!

Coach Miles Escapes . . . Again!

We have a very unusual football coach at LSU, Les Miles. Les gets it done in some weird ways, maybe he is just lucky. Don't know but do know his offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, Gary Crowton is pulling him down. Will he wake up.

Perhaps he is beginning to realize this great short fall. At least I hope so or he is surely gonna get fired and take Crowton with him. We have a great defensive coach in Coach Chavis. Why can he not recognize the deficit in Crowton.?

Note, I refer to Miles as a Coach and to Chavis as a Coach but to Crowton as well less than respectful. He coaches alright but it does not seem to be good coaching.

Crowton is a failed head coach at both Utah and LA Tech. Hired for his "Pistol" offense and it has yet to produce much. In fact, if you look at the production recored, his coached offensives have gotten steadily worse. That ought to be a big red flag for Coach Miles, yet he seems unable to see it.

I hope it does not take him, the Athletic Director, Joe Alleva and Crowton out. For surely, if there is a further hiccup in the Florida game, they are all toast for not doing something about it earlier.

What a waste of talent.
