There are more reasons during his tenure to lack confidence in les miles than Sean Payton. From very specific things like repeated poor clock management in crucial games, multiple QB starters for multiple years (terrible system), old school play calling that is very predictable, to the bigger picture like underperforming with talent. LSU has had some of the best overall recruiting classes for years (props to miles and company for that) but have done less with the talent once on campus. However, Sean Payton and crew have been experts at finding top talent in free agency for cheap and propelling those players to higher levels.

I'm not a les miles hater, but I have questioned his competence many times. In my opinion, I don't hear the gameday crew say that Les miles out coached his opponents after a win, but rather that LSU wins because of the high level of talent at its disposal. when's the last time you said we won because of les miles?

Now, having said all that, I don't wish les miles to leave unless there is a proven high level coach to replace him - that is a short list. Otherwise people are just hoping the craps shoot hits lucky on the next guy up, which is foolish.

I'll hang up and listen to your response. Geaux Tigers

I don't think that any LSU fanatic could possibly rebut your post, BengalBlood81.

Thanks to BB81, ScottieP, Big EZ and a couple others for good answers to the questions.
Never said I would fire SP or replace Brees just saying the leash is a little longer.
Payton's offense is great but what about the D?
Brees is a good QB but to use the excuse he will be a first ballot HOF'er makes no sense. So will Brett Farvava but it doesn't mean I'd want him as my started next year.
