I honestly cannot think of anyone who is more hated than Les Miles that has won a championship. I am fairly young (23) so I obviously don't have an extensive recollection of past winners much beyond 1998. Along those same lines is there another program in the country that hates their coach as much as LSU?

"hate"???

I'm a bit older than 23 but my definition of hate must be far different than yours!!

I doubt many hate him (lsu fans)...he's done nothing but won while at lsu...

that said, he does some off the wall stuff and he's had enough talent to win more than 1...that could piss some off knowing lsu will most likely always be in the championship hunt. Things do go in cycles, so the 90's is also possible...its been a while

As long as our "dumb" coach keeps kicking Saban's arse who cares? As long as we beat those redneck inbreds it doesn't matter

Les is one of my favorite people. I hope he has a long career at LSU.

Hate? Most people just like to think he's a bumbling buffoon.

The LSU fan base has more than its share of idiots, and they're vocal, here and elsewhere. Les isn't perfect, nobody is, but we're fortunate to have him.

What do you mean "HATE"???? Do you even know what "hate" means? That is a very strong word, one used by toolame fans when talking about Miles and the Tigers. You are one sick puppy! No one hates Miles, he is just another LSU coach. Won't be the last, either. Get some help, please!

hated? I dont know about that but the most talked about and criticized for what he does but hell he wins. He is a awesome recruiter that constantly has a stable of atheletes that can make his risks work. That is worth to me based on his results and the character he shows. im behind Les Miles ill take everyday of the week. He is not perfect but he is a winner his players play their arse off for him and overcome most of his dumb or risky or whatever risks. He lets em loose. I have never seen a coach pull the shite he has pulled and it works most of the time. Plus he is loyal and stuck with us when he could of left twice but he stayed. I can live with his flaws for now. Lets see how he handles the offense, QB situation and how kragthorpe works out. But Les is the man in my book.

Saban is much more hated than Les Miles (and I'm not referring to LSU fans).

So is that sweater vest dude.

After the Bama game last year? Seriously?

Les earned major cred with LSU fans. Hard to believe someone would overlook that. FYI there's likely a perfect job awaiting you at ESPN

Les is far from being hated but, he may very well go down in history as the luckiest head coach ever.

I don't think people hate Les Miles they just think he is a lucky idiot (I'm not one of those, btw).

Tressel and Switzer are near the top of the list.

Les is certainly not "hated" he just should never be allowed to speak in front of a microphone or camera!!
He should also not be allowed out of the locker room after halftime unless we are leading by 35,the clock shouldn't be an issue in this case.
