re: For the uninformed: its NOT because of 3 losses

I'm not trying to equate Les Miles to Bear Bryant but the man shouldn't be fired for entering a slump.

it doesn't feel like a slump, though. Les miles teams are largely the same as they've always been. Difference is, in the first half of les' tenure, there was a mystique to LSU. We had the magic, we made the plays, we won the close games. That aura is dead. What's left to see is the disorganization, unimaginative offense, penalties, and our annual prime time humiliation against Alabama.

It just doesn't matter anymore how many starters LSU returns if miles is the coach. It will be the same team he always runs out there: talented enough to win 8 games before a game is played, a couple tough games and a couple hard games, can they split those and go 10-2? Good bowl matchup.


Every year, Les miles teams start the season incapable of winning a title bc of his disdain/neglect/incompetence of the QB position. But hey, why use a QB when you can win 10 games a year playing 1970s big ten 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust football?
