The lack of perspective from the Negatigers, Miles needs to stay.

I believe the NegaTigers all must be too young to see the change in coaching staffs can mean. Too many good programs have not been able to maintain the same level of performance when a coaching change is made. I have seen that happen at LSU and many other programs. There were too many lean years at LSU. We have been living the good life the last few years. Why would you want to chance rocking the boat? LSU faces one of the toughest schedules year in and year out and still Miles posts great records. We are usually in the hunt for the Natty. Miles needs to stay. Careful what you wish for.

I'm 33 and believe Miles should go to Arkansas.

Im 43 and a blind man can see that win in spite of Miles at times. He is a good recruiter and a decent coach. By no means is he irreplaceable.

I am not a Nega Tiger however I am a big Nega Miles. Without Chavis this guy is dirt. Offense is ranked 75th or lower ... with our talent should be in the top 25.
I am 66 and do not wear diapers ... yet

I honestly don't know after Saban left I thought he was irreplaceable. We hired miles and won a championship. If we keep Chavis and Les miles leaves or Arkansas will still have winning seasons. At the same token it will be horrible for recruiting if he leaves and we lose some top recruits and have the possibility of competing with him for Louisiana recruits. So for that reason I want him to stay rather than him go to Arkansas.
That's just one aspect. 21 years old.

Now that we know you're wrong, come up with another stupid arse reason why people don't like him

People that talk about LSU's problems after firing Cholly Mac as a cautionary tale are completely incorrect as th situations are NOT analogous.
1) By the end of CM's tenure, LSU was an "okay" program, but certainly not among the "elite" programs as it is today.
2) In his last 5 years, LSU ended the season unranked in the coaches poll each season.
3) CM won the SEC championship all of ONE time during his career at LSU (yes, I know...Alabama).
Anyway, with that "cupboard", and the cheap-assed nature of LSU's PTB, it is not surprising that the 20 years after he left were "mixed" in terms of results. However, despite all that, LSU did have some success (1982 under Stovall, 1984-1988 under Arnsparger/Archer, 1995-1997 under Dinardo).
Once LSU really opened the checkbook (roots with Dinardo, but really picking up under Saban and then Miles), LSU's programs has, for the most part, florished. Unless LSU is about to go back to its miserly ways regarding its football program, replacing Miles will not involve 20 years in the wilderness as replacing CM has been portrayed.
Can "elite" programs go to shite after replacing big time coaches? Sure, but bear in mind that some of the examples given (Miami, Alabama) also had other reasons for their problems, namely the NCAA.
BTW...I am 44.

most of them probably are too young but some of them obviously have no clear understanding of the risks of miles leaving. a basic rule of life is don't frick with success. the young ones don't have a clue what happened to bama after the bear and then they got stallings and what happened after him. all they remember is saban. and all they know about LSU is saban and miles. success is all they know so they assume that any coach would come to LSU and be as successful or more so than miles. in short, THEY DON'T KNOW shite ABOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND HOW FRIGGIN' LUCKY YOU HAVE TO BE TO GET THE RIGHT COACH. get a curly hallman (who was uber successful as usm) and you get stuck with shite, expensive shite. and i'll bet a dime to a donut that NONE OF THESE POSTERS GIVE A DAMN NICKEL TO TAF AND NONE WOULD PONY UP A CENT IF LSU MADE THE WRONG HIRE.

The ones that are saying they are old and want Miles gone are just lying 20 year olds. Another bit of youth stupidity.
I am 49. I hope Miles stays.

What I can't figure out is why the positigers aren't upset with Les for using this Arkansas thing to milk more money out of LSU. For the record I have zero problem with Les doing this for business reasons which is what this whole thing was about. The positigers frame Les in such an idealistic light and act like he is nothing short of perfection. I am seeing some comments that LSU should not have caved on this but not near as much as I would think considering how some people think Les is a deity.

41. Don't want him to leave but i also don't think he can't be replaced. LSU made Miles and there are plenty of coaches who would be successful here.

Just because you have prostate issues doesn't mean you are the voice of reason.

39, CLM is the anti-Saban, I like him, players family's like him. If we didn't have CNS I would take CLM in a heartbeat, he seems very genuine and his record speaks for itself.

In addition to age, can we also make people add whether or not they graduated from LSU (or any college for that matter)? That should make it interesting...
