LSU's Upcoming Football Season

This writer does not look for the Tigers to end the 2012 season with a won/loss record as good as last season.  There are simply too many unanswered questions, the larger being does the team have confidence in coach Les Miles after the fiasco in the national championship game against Alabama.

The problem is not talent but how that talent is used by the coaching staff.  The talents of too many LSU players have been wasted by Miles over and over again over several seasons.  It was noticable that Miles was determined to make Jefferson the starting quarterback  even after he got into trouble regardless how well Lee was playing. 

LSU's players, fan base and students deserve better.  When a team goes 13-0 and than looses in a rematch because the coach did not do his job it is hard to see how a so called experienced coach can recapture the confidence in his players.  Time will tell.
