Every single god damn sunday for the past two years there are dozens of big timers tweeting and saying "how did LSU lose three games with all these players" and it is usually followed with a shot at Miles. He is also constantly mocked and made fun of for his stupid mistakes. Now all of a sudden it is this crazy thing that LSU would even fathom firing the guy. I just don't get it.

Screw them. Bring in the right guy and it'll all fade into static

He wasn't constantly mocked. Moron rantards picked up on random people that said anything critical about LSU as confirmation bias for their irrational hate of the coach.

Do any of you follow college football outside of LSU at all?

I think the outrage has more to do with LSU being willing to pay the 15 million buyout.

Such a great point. How many times has the media and other fan bases made fun of Les Miles. All of the sudden he's a genius and LSU fans are idiots?

over the years and since the internet "journalists" have morphed into sensation espousing machines designed to get viewers for ratings or web hits.

ad revenue is king even if one has to "sell their soul" to get it.

Les is a media favorite and a HUGE brand. The guy gives them phenomenal ratings with his persona alone. Do people really think ESPN is looking out for LSU's best interest?

I'm on the side of "keeping Les if the right guy isn't in place.", but otherwise it's not outrageous to suggest possible change. Larry Coker's record was incredible too, but Miami's trajectory was blatantly obvious. We aren't even competitive right now against incredibly beatable teams

yeah, pretty funny...they've been laughing at Miles for years, making fun of his supposed poor coaching abilities, and generally saying he was a idiot in a good situation...now that LSU says, "yeah, you're right, we'll find someone else", they say we're idiots

for the record, I'm a big Les Miles fan and am not at all convinced we should replace him

The national media worships at the altar of Bama and Saban. You think they want the guy who can't beat Bama to leave? That what this is all about. More bashing of LSU, after they bashed us for how we've been playing with the same guy at the helm....

Not sure if you heard but the media can be hypocritical and disingenuous.

Media is doing a great job of ruining our name. I was worried about this.
