I questioned him when he was in the fricking line-up as potential candidates to come coach at LSU.

Ya'll are the smartest, most forward thinking people in the entire fan base. It's a shame that y'all aren't on the Board of Supervisors or big dollar boosters at the TAF. Then we never would have lost Saturday.

I've always supported him and thought he was a good coach...

Really the first time I had a question was the 2 pt attempt vs bama.

I didn't really question the call, just how it was made. They had a camera next to Les after the score and he held his one finger up abs yelled "one!"

then he must have heard something in his headset, because he quickly corrected himself and, holding now two fingers said, "oh we are going for two? We're going for two!"

it made me think that isn't right. Why is the head coach letting THAT decision be made up in the booth?

His first instnct was kick it, but it was like he wasn't part of the decision making process at all. He was the last to know then just relayed Crowtons decision to the field.

This was furthered Saturday when immediately after the game he answered the reporter "there was som delay in getting the timeout called in the box, then down to me, and finally to the official."

as the head coach you have to be in charge of these things and have first AND last say. Seems like our general is taking orders from his second, and doesn't have the backbone or confidence or something to over ride or even question... Or at least get his say in.

Kinda sheds some light on the "genius" auburn call where Byrd caught the td pass
