All good points, BUT the main issue with Miles is for whatever reason he cannot recruit and/or develop a good quarterback which as we all know is the most important position on a squad. We all know how bad the qb situation has been since 07. JJ had a good game like every 4th game. Lee was solid and for whatever reason was benched in 2011 and never had the opportunity to play again. Obviously ZM was great in 13, but it's really hard to give credit to LM for that for the reasons we all know. Now we're going into game #14 with AJ and he looks very little better, if any, than he did vs Iowa last year. BH appears to have much more upside, but for whatever reason he can't get on the field and won't barring an injury to AJ because there have been plenty of chances to get him some playing time. We're most likely going to have at least 2 more years of piss poor qb play and that is the difference between LSU being an elite team and a middle tier SEC team. Until Miles can go get a qb that fits his system or gets one and builds a good offense around him people will want him gone as I and most fans do. I hate to think about what our records would've been over the last 7 years if chavis hadn't been here carrying the team that continues to have to compete with one arm tied behind it's back.

This. It's not a great situation to have young guys starting, but there are many instances across the country where they have succeeded or at least improved throughout the year. AJ never got better.

Lee was benched because he was as scared a QB as I have ever witnessed played the game. Him being benched in the first game was the right move, not ever putting him back in was certainly not the right one.

The problem lies here. In order for a QB to succeed here, we need starting NFL talent at WR, RB, QB, and OL. His philosophy is this is what we are running, try to stop us. Until it opens up and he starts using some misdirection, we will struggle on O. He doesn't have a want to change, so it appears it won't happen until he is gone.

If we missed again on a hire at D coordinator, like the Malveto disaster, Miles would be gone already. The Chavis D is the perfect counterpart to Miles limited O. It's opportunistic and allows for the possession style run right out you O to actually work. When our D was trying to find itself early this year, we got blown out. With AJ under center next year, we will likely be in every game and win 9-10 of them because the D will be nasty. As fans we are Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. The same exact thing every year.
