There's also the other end of the spectrum of LSU fans on here who thought Miles was one of the greatest coaches of all time and was ready to fight anyone who questioned his offensive prowess

I'm loyal to our coaches as a rule. Even if I think he's a mistake or not the guy, I root for him until he's gone.

Regarding Miles, people tend to overlook the fact that he never had a losing or .500 season, in a decade. His down years were 8 win seasons. His worst regular season was capped by a complete blowout of a top 10 ranked Georgia Tech team (that had beat UGA) in the Peach Bowl, in Atlanta, Ga Tech's home town.
That season happened to be the 2008 disaster that caused Miles to pull the plug on passing offenses, because he understood the lesson of that bowl- LSU could beat 95% of the CFB teams with defense and running the ball. They could lose to lots of teams by throwing picks and going 3-and-out a bunch. Fans grew to hate him for that decision, but looking back, I can't say it was wrong... I would rather have a boring 10-2 season than a 300 yd passer on a team losing 5+ games. Ideally, I want the 300 yd passer on an undefeated team (ie, Burrow 2019), but if ya gotta pick one, give me the W's.

The problem with this baseball team isn't the lack of potential excitement- we have strikeout pitchers and homerun hitters. But we're not doing the necessary in-game grinding and routine stuff that would get the wins.
It's amazing how often we get a runner on 2nd, and don't get him in. I don't know the numbers, but we have to be way below the averages on that. It's like we telegraph everything to the opposing team, our offense seems to do the one thing that prevents even a single run to occur. Guy on third with one out, you KNOW there will be a strikeout or infield popup to get the second out and not advance the runner. Guys on first and second, you KNOW there will be a double play. Every team that plays us, they put on a clinic on how to get out of trouble.
That shouldn't be the case.
