I hope this wasn't directed at me...

I have vehemently defended Les Miles form day one as the coach at LSU. While others pointed to reason the fanbase should be concerned, I defended him. I enjoyed the wins and was happy with the results, regardless of how they were achieved and whether or not, (I can't believe I'm going to say it) the PROCESS being used to achieve them was sustainable.

But at some point when I looked at Miles I was suddenly left with the conclusion that our emporer has no clothes.

I'm 39 and obviously younger than you. My first game was Dalton Hilliard's first in 1982, and was able to first get season tickets in 2001...and since that time I've entered Tiger stadium as soon as the marshalls will allow me to go to my seats, and stay until they basically tell me to leave. I'm not going anywhere...but that doesn't mean I'd like to see LSU slide back into the middle of the pack, the place where I, and you before me, remember LSU spending the bulk of the time during our lifetimes.

I have season tickets and don't care about Miles as long as much as team.
If they play tough and just get out played that is one thing, when it is obvious LSU is better team and they lose due to coaching is when I have an issue.

Nope GeauxTigerTM. Just a general statement about the decline in the four quarter support of our 'fans' and everyone who wants to fire the coach.

Have no hatred for Miles...just don't think he can take LSU football where it is capable of going. I differ philosophically with him.

Next HC hire will be huge. We can do better but history has also shown we can do worse.

Two season tickets, though I don't hate Miles. I simply have lost all faith in the man as the leader our program needs.

11 years I've had 4 season tickets in TS. Since before Saban was hired. Lifelong LSU fan.

Not a Miles as coach fan. He's done some good things early but it's on a steady decline.

Are you watching the same games we are? I will never give up on the Tigers (follower since the 60's)but the if you like the coaching/game planning last 2 seasons (which they are getting paid very well for)you are dilusional. The national media thinks we are a joke? I'm praying that CLM has a real "want" to turn it around , but they will have to prove it to me on the field!

Ready for Miles to hit the trail. I'm tired of the underachieving. I consider 05 to be the only year he met/exceeded expectations. 06 & 07 were disappointments imo record wise even though we won the BCSCG in 07. 08 & 09 were clusterf&^*ks. Just hope LSU hits a HR with their next hire and don't try this hiring from a 2nd tier school formula.

I've had season tickets since 98, and I agree with the statement above. I didn't have a problem with Miles until after the Ole Miss and Penn St. debacles....and it's absolutely clear at this point he will never lead us back to a national championship (FWIW I would love for him to prove me wrong).
BTW I'm one of those fans who doesn't leave until the band stops playing.
