Les Miles was a good manager.

I was really frustrated with Les at the end of his career at LSU. I thought he became very predictable and was too conservative. But Les Miles did a lot of good things at LSU.
He was a great recruiter, he had some really good staff hires, and he won a ton of games.
The problem was that he was not a good game coach and he refused to allow his coaches to manage their respective disciplines.
Of course, we found out some things after he left, but one cannot really argue with his results when he coached at LSU.

Would’ve won another championship if he started Jarrett Lee

A little contradictory, don't you think?

Too many mistakes that started with Tennessee and ended with auburn.
In between that was running dives into alabamas most talented part of their defense……their dLine and MLBS
It’s tough to look back on.
I enjoyed him but some mistakes were egregious.

He is the ONLY coach in the BCS era to play in NC with 2 losses.
He wasted more talent than any other LSU coach.
We won in spite of him.
Consider this, he inherited an LSU team that had been recruited by the best coach ever in college football history for the previous 5 years and he still lost 2 games and had to back into the 07 title. The 11 title game looked like it was being coached by Ray Charles.

Les was a beneficiary of the program Saban built.If we had been able to hire a top tier coach back then we would have won more titles and been what Alabama is now because we would have had a head start on them.Les was a clown and I thank him for the title but it wasn’t because he was great it was because he was given a great job at the right time.

His interviews were so painful to watch that it was worth getting rid of him for that alone.

He was good, not great. He was unable to adapt to the game.

A goddamned fricking retard.
I hate that dude with the power of a thousand suns. He single handily took the fun out of being an LSU fan for years. It was a fricking chore watching him embarrass himself and us with his nonsense off the field and his underachieving on it.
We have a Tecmo Bowl offense but OMG he eats grass and is a family man!!!!
frick you and anyone that contributed to that moron staying here longer than deserved.

Les was and is a stubborn moron. He had more talent for most of his tenure than everyone we played and still managed to screw it up more times than not. For someone who won as many games as he did, you won’t find many people that miss him. That tells you everything.

Except for all the sexual harassment stuff and his idiocy on game day. I wouldn't hire him to run a Dairy Queen.
He would hit on all the girls and only sell vanilla.

No “we” didn’t. Some of us knew many of those things while he was still coaching LSU.

Did we really need a Les Miles thread today?

Les was a great recruiter and a good guy. He will still be at LSU if he allowed an offensive coordinator to run 100% of the offensive and leave him alone. But Les’s pride and stubbornness would not allow this. I wonder what Les was thinking watching LSU’s 2019 offense shred every defense they faced. LSU fans have been wanting this for the previous 10 years. And Les had some talented offenses. He just did not know how to use them.

Of course, we found out some things after he left, but one cannot really argue with his results when he coached at LSU.
He had NFL talent all over his rosters - and he gets credit for that.
But with all that talent, he underachieved, particularly in the last 3+ years when he went 15-11 in the SEC.

Lol you guys are funny, it’s like you forgot about the 80s, 90s, or the last two years. Les was consistent, which had its pros and cons, maybe another coach could have gotten us more 11-12 win seasons, but not many could have gotten us more 10 win seasons. Les only had a couple bad years, and those were what 8 win seasons?
I agree Les was not a great in game coach, he likely would never have built this program if Saban hadn’t already established it, and he refused to see where the game was going and either adopt the new game or respond in a way to beat it. But you can’t deny that he left LSU as a prestigious program much better than it was when he came, and that’s because he had a decade of consistent results and recruited in a way that built the brand. Saban was amazing for us and built us into what we became, but Les sustained that for a damn long time, and believe me many coaches could have wrecked that program taking over in 05.
