Supportive.

That being said, I think even I'm ready for a change. Not because I don't like the man in the head chair, but because I think after 10 seasons two things have become painfully apparent.

First...a good portion of the LSU fan base will NEVER get on board with the head coach of the program. Whether warranted or not, this makes having him in the big chair excruciating much of the time. even when the Tigers are winning we've got fans grousing. frick that...I'm tired of it.

Second...while I love the guy and find him to be a great face for the program, a solid recruiter, and awesome CEO of the program, I've tired of post game responses from him that sound more like a fan who has no control of the actual game than the head ball coach who, in the end, makes all decisions on the field. I'm also tired of not really having a set in stone offensive philosophy and recruiting to that and that alone. I'm fine with being one dimensional...if we are that by choice. But there is just no earthly reason why we can;t find even the tiniest semblance of a passing game with two highly recruited QB's, regardless of the age or experience level. If we're going to be pro-syle, recruit pro-style QB's. If we're going to be spread, recruit spread. Quit trying to do both because by doing so we seem to do neither well consistently.

Best case scenario for me would be that Miles succumbs to pressure (or simply acknowledged it on his own) and lets Cam either run a wide open 21st century offense (that can still be pro-style...anyone see NFL teams lately?) or he hires a young guy to come in and run his own system while Miles continues to oversee the program AND fans get on board with it.
