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.

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 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.

i agree with you here. the writing a letter thing was dumb though. i understand your concern with booing, as miles knows when he screws up.

i am very happy in my life which is why i dont get depressed when LSU loses. i worry more about the players who work very hard and many wont be playing on sundays. i would never forgive miles as a player if he held held us back due to poor clock managment, player develpent, play calling, and gameplanning.

Then I ask you this how can you show a coach that you aren't pleased by what they are doing

I disagree with your notion that the players are kids in college. I would call them young adults that can deal with some criticism.
I know as a fan I won't always get my way but think of it as a stockholder. If the company your investing money into isn't doing to well you want to voice your opinion. The fans are what run the program and the reason Les Miles is having a very nice life away from football.
