    Who is the smarter coach, Les Miles or Sonny Dykes?

    Just reflecting on LSU's game on Saturday night. Not that I watch every LSU game but Les Miles has not impressed me with his "in game" coaching tactics. Some of his decisions are just plain reckless. Sonny really has impressed me with his knowledge and game plans. Some may counter that Les is a great recruiter, but I think more likely it's the university, tradition, and being an SEC program that attracts the athletes, rather than Les.

    Les Miles is one of only two coaches in the history of mankind to be outcoached by Jack Bicknell III. That's all you need to know.

    For the record, the other was John L. Smith, which is kind of relevant these days. SMIIIILE!!

    Is this thread for real?
    Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
    “It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”

    to the person who started this thread, my apologies. i promise i do not intend this as a personal attack. i don't know you and for all i know you started this thread to just have a little fun. but as a tech fan, in the midst of easily our most successfully D 1A season ever, it is distressing to come on the la tech fan board and hear comment after comment about lsu. i know, i know nobody is making me read or respond to this; i have already gotten that criticism. and you are right, i don't have to read it and people have ever right to comment on lsu as much as they like. i am just not sure i understand our fan base's obsession with lsu. we are not in their conference, we rarely play them, we are sometimes (but not primarily) competeing for the same athletes.
    my assumption is that some of the very fans that get on this site and complain about how much coverage lsu gets in the shreveport or monroe papers are the same people that get on this site and talk non stop about how much they hate lsu. do you see what you are doing? the very thing you hate the media for doing, you are doing. lsu gets almost as much "air time" on bb&b as tech does. and i know, i am just contributing to that pattern by responding. we do honestly sound a little bit like the little brother that is trying to get big brother to notice us and big brother really doesn't care. we are not lsu's little brother or anything of the sort. we are a seperate entity; we just hapeen to live in the same neighborhood.
    go to lsu's fan website and see what they write and think about tech; you know what you'll find...virtually nothing. they are not worrying about what we do. why are we so obsessed with them? i 've heard all the excuses: they have obnoxious fans; they are shoved down our throat by the media; they have an unfair political advantage in BR to get things they want. i'm not saying every bit of that is not true. i guess i just would like to come on a tech fan website and hear primarily about tech and not lsu. if we want to compare sonny dykes to other coaches, maybe a better comparison is oregon or west virgina, teams running our fast break style.
    alright, thats more than long enough i realize...go dawgs!

    George, I can assure you I am not obsessed with LSU. Just had a few minutes at work and wanted to start a thread to talk football. You shouldn't be "distressed", as you put it. Just a little about myself: I grew up in Ruston, graduated from Tech, and medical school at Tulane even though I was also accepted at LSU. In the past 12 years I have given over $30,000 to Tech athletics and currently serve on the Tech Foundation Board. I certainly don't need to be chastised by you for a harmless post I make. My advice to you: don't be so insecure. The whole point of my post, if you read it, is how blessed we are to have Sonny Dykes. Football, along with TECH BBB, is for fun. Don't take it too seriously.

    Geez dude. As much as we appreciate your support (most of us here are financial supporters, btw), you don't have to be an ass. I thought george was pretty clear that his post was NOT a personal attack on you. Sounds like YOU are the one acting insecure.

    Having said that, I would like to counsel george to use CAPITAL letters and paragraph breaks where applicable. :icon_wink:

    I thought it was a pretty simple question.
