Title: (ESPN) Les Miles: Effort not the issue against Bama

Since LSU's 21-0 loss to Alabama in the Allstate BCS National Championship Game last week, much has been made about the Tigers' ineffective game plan against the Crimson Tide.

The team we saw trample just about every prior opponent, was dominated in its own backyard of New Orleans. The defense held its ground for as long as it could, while the offense failed to adjust throughout the game and for some reason kept trying to run the option over and over again.

LSU coach Les Miles stands by some of the decisions, right or wrong, he made during the Allstate BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 9.While LSU looked lost with the ball, LSU coach Les Miles said Tuesday that his team's struggles didn't happen because of a lack of effort.

LSU was 13-0 and Miles was National Coach of the Year. Then Alabama spanked them 21-0 and Miles is taking a lot of heat. He may need to think about spending more time with his family like Urban Meyer and re-think the Michigan job offer because it looks like CNS made his azz quit.

Hope Miles keeps thinking this way.  His coaching is just inexplicable.

Coach of the year given out before the bowl game, and the Tide whips their butt. The Who better be glad Honey Badger didn't win the Heisman; think how bad it REALLY could have gotten for them.
