Why does it seem like a lot of the most negative posters are from out of State?

Because people who were born in LA and actually went to college at LSU and stayed in the area after graduating have more than a football team when they think of Louisiana State University.

We are more objective. You are too close to the situation to be completely objective. You see Miles on local media more and are more sympathetic to him. It is a psychological thing.

Stings a little more when I commute all the way from Nashville to watch the same mundane bullshite. Sorry.

I'm out of state but yes, I was a Miles supporter. OK I'll admit it, I wanted him out after the 1/9/12 fiasco. Then seasons kept coming and I became somewhat conformist, blaming Jennings for his below average performances.

I was then happy with Miles once we started 7-0. But after these 2 last games, I am questioning his inability to get the team pumped up for crucial games and his lack of creative play calling during games. At Bama, he had no Plan B if the rushing game would not work- none. Why kept on trying on running LF7 when as early as the 2Q it was obvious he was getting shut down? Why not go for slants, screens, option plays, or even short yardage plays? Why did he insist on running up the middle? Anyways, long story short, I am now a Miles doubter. I don't believe in him anymore and I don't think he has it to bring a team to a championship as he once did.

But again, who would be a candidate that could replace him? There's not too many great coaches out there.

What are you basing this on? Some of the folks that have wanted him gone the long live on Baton Rouge. And I see plenty of pumpers from out of state.

Well, I wish we could go back in time so you could listen to Baton Rouge sports talk radio circa 1994.

Or 1998 or 1999.

NegaTigers have always been there.

Expect us.

Bc they aren't real fans.


Only la people are real fans.

OP I live and work in Alabama. I have a manager that's a Bama fan who has repeatedly told me he "Loves Him Some Les Miles". I told him the other day that when Saban leaves on his own terms they could pursue Miles. His response " He'll No We Don't Want Him Running Bama Program". His point was Miles is a great speaker toying with the media and very comic to listen too but they are not interested in another Shula hire to run the program. Outside of the state living in Bama and Charlotte NC for 1e years Mes is perceived as a clown who enjoys living on the edge of defeat to fulfill his high in winning in a miracle fashion.

I quit listening to Miles years ago. I acknowledge he has done very well at LSU and lead LSU through some tough times outside of football. He is a great ambassador for LSU I admitt. However, he has sucked the life out of the program and it is no longer fun to watch anymore when we actually have to compete with talented teams. He is not getting the job done when you seperate the men from the boys on the football field. I have not looked but I am willing to bet over the last several years he has not beaten a very good football team. It's time to turn the chapter and give the reigns to someone else. Who that may be but I know one thing for certain never in the history of any program is there a good time to hire a coach. Great programs make great hires then consistently evaluate the hire to see if they are progressing and if they do stick with or go back to the well again. LSU canapé a great hire if they are committed to winning no matter the cost.

"We" may be more negative because our sports coverage isn't LSU-centric and we can assess situations without hometown loyalty bias.
