re: Les leaving LSU would be really really bad for us.

Look, you're either brain-dead or lying if Miles' coaching style has not left you frustrated or questioning him from time to time. I also think you're lying if you say at no point you have ever wondered, "man, if only we had coach XYZ here this shite wouldn't happen."

However, that's different from truly endorsing his dismissal or sitting there on Jan 10, 2011 and saying "good riddance to Miles if he goes because we'd be better off without him."

If you want Miles gone, it's only because you have a personal problem with the guy. You can't honestly think him leaving would be better for the program. You just can't.

1. The Past. His record, though not perfect (FYI no one is) is damn strong, and the best in the history of the school.

2. The Future. We have what, 17 returning starters and are are poised to make a serious MNC run this year and in less than a month are likely to sign the best of many great recruiting classes.
