I know this is hard for some people to understand, but when a kid plays for a team that kid tends to stick up for EVERY person on the team. ESPECIALLY a coach.

Have you ever played organized sports? The coach is always revered by the players even if the coach isn't the best.

Then there is the booing. That probably makes the team have an "us against them" attitude. It's why I laugh at all of the fans saying "I boo Miles, not the kids". It doesn't matter what you think you are doing, you are booing the LSU Tigers. there are no individuals on a team.

That is why I always tell people that boo a college team like they are professionals that they are idiots. It's soooo counterproductive that it's an idiotic thing to do.

Then I ask you this how can you show a coach that you aren't pleased by what they are doing. This isn't peewee or high school football. Fans are spending a lot of money and their time to be there to watch LSU. It's very hard to use this never boo mentality when the coach is getting paid 4 million a year.

I don't know. Write a letter? Maybe post on a message board. Booing during the game is the absolutely worst thing to do. You are getting into the heads of the kids playing the game. Remember that they are NOT professionals yet.

I know a lot of people think that since they spend a lot of money on tickets that they have a "right" to have some say as to how the team is run. Having 92,000 "coaches" in the stands and 0 fans doesn't make a team better. Have faith in the people in charge that they know what they are doing. If the coach is doing terrible and not winning games that he should obviously be winning then I would think the AD would remove him.
Just because we sometimes don't like that we barely beat a team here or that the coach didn't call the play we wanted him to call doesn't mean that we have any say in if that coach is fired. It's a fact of being a fan that you don't always get your way.

ETA: as an example - my mom paid for my uniform, equipment, and tickets to my baseball games in high school. She spent a lot of money through high school. She had ZERO input into how the team was run because she is JUST A FAN.
