1/9 will for ever define Les Miles' legacy and his program

If only he'd won that day, he'd be on a much long leash with fans and seasons like the current one might have been more palatable and easily forgiven. 2 SEC championships, 2 National Chmiponship....you can't argue with that. But 1/9 was so horrible, every time he messes up clock management, every time he runs the toss-dive, every time he plays too conservative, every time we lose a game we were expected to win, every time we have a multiple loss season...people are that much more unforgiving and have even less patience for his quirks.
If you ask Miles 10 years from now, I bet he'd tell you he wish he had gotten up on the right side of the bed that fateful day.

Do the pumpers love Les if Pittsburgh doesn't upset WVU in '07? All I want to know.

2 years ago people laughed on the SECr when I said that loss would forever haunt Les. The program lost every bit of edge it had that night in the Dome.

I doubt it, even that day has not changed his stubbornness. This is his major problem not his ability to coach.

that started before 1/9

That was the game where he transformed from da mad hatter into da mad quitter.
1/9 was and still is a program killer that started the end of the CLM era.

That NC game will always haunt him. Team never showed up, and never scored a point. Sounds like the team didn't want to play for Miles that night. I've always asked the question to many of my friends. If the team that brought you to the NC asks one favor of the coach and it's to play the QB (Lee) that helped you get there, why didn't the coach say OK, but you have to let me pull him if he's not working out. The team would have agreed to those terms. We have all heard different stories about this game and no one is talking. But you have to ask yourself, why were there good players on the sidelines not playing. Les, you have the best recruits in the country, and why aren't they producing. It's your coaching. I think he's run out of ideas. I'm tired of nail bitters against favorable opponents. We use to be a force in the SEC, the upset team of the SEC. Now we're going to be last. It's going to get worse. After I heard his press conference, he sounded confused and well, he it seems he doesn't know how to fix the problems. We need a new coach.

And losing at least 3 games a years except once at lsu wil be saban legacy at lsu. And Losing to UAB

I think you're right. Actually had a conversation today with somebody saying that's when they lost complete trust. I personally have never been a lover of miles but thought he always won the games he was supposed to and was a better than average recruiter. This year just looks too much like our 3-8 1999 season to be ignored.

It all filters from the man who has swallowed this burden for months now. Choking it back through the spring and summer time he so enjoys while watching his son Manny play baseball for an AAU traveling team. Hiding it while traveling to watch his daughter Kathryn—who has Olympic aspirations—swim in national meets; or while hosting an annual event with his wife, Kathy, that raises nearly $100,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network. Few coaches in this grind-it-out, sleep-in-the-office profession value family like Miles. That’s what made the life-changing event of April 22, 2011 such a personal paradox. The man who places high value on relationships; who has made friends with Snoop Dog and dances to Soulja Boy with his team in the locker room; who put his arm around beleaguered quarterback Jarrett Lee after starter Jordan Jefferson’s arrest two weeks before the season opener, and calmly told Lee, ‘You’re going to have the best season of your career—and we’re going to win with you’ wasn’t the brother he wanted to be. Miles found perspective again through tragedy. His team then learned it month after month during this complex championship run. “Life throws you curveballs when you least expect it,” says LSU defensive end Sam Montgomery. “And sometimes, it beans you with a fastball right in the head.”

Not only January 9, but all the Quirky interviews, the stupid sayings the trying to be Yogi Bara of college football schtick is wearing thin. He brings it all on himself, that's what he doesn't realize and people get mad at us for pointing it out but he's the one that's doing it.

1/9 was just a completely bad/evil joke by the football gods on the LSU football program. It ripped the heart out of the LSU football program.
Last years Alabama game - the way it ended - I've never seen LSU so completely humiliated and beaten up so physically - and mentally - as they were at the end of that game last year.
