Les miles is a tremendous leader of men. What in the world are talking about? Did u not see how well he handled this past week?
He made a bad hire with Cam Cameron, it happens to all great coaches and leaders sooner or later. Small bump in the road for this man. He will learn from this and be even better going forward. My word some of u have lost all perspective.

How many OC's have we been through with no change (to the positive)? Cam is not an aberration. Cam is a continuance of the same problem, just this time it's his friend.

How he handled himself is more about his personal character than leadership. And he was excellent in that. It's like a boss that's loved, handles himself awesome on conf calls... but then when it's all said and done you're still not sure what exactly to do and what the expectations are of you. So you wait on orders that never come. That's a boss that is a great guy, with a great personality, but a poor leader. The two do not necessarily correlate. The whole "character" and "great guy" equating to be a good CEO-type coach are part of the problem in the big picture here.

Ask yourself how many coaches have we seen underperform and it takes multiple years for them to be sent packing? I'm not talking horrible performance, I'm talking multiple coaches at one time not performing to expectations. That really hurts a team. Miles' loyalty to those coaches is not leadership when giving them more chances is considered leadership. His loyalty to players should be first. And that loyalty means giving them the best resources (coaching being one of them) every year. For a player to go 2 years under a underperforming coach and only get the best available for 1 year of his 3 year career at LSU is disingenuous and a mark of poor leadership. The goal is the best product on the field, which means best performing players on the field. When he's worried more about how he's perceived in the coaching ranks than if he makes playoffs or not, that's not good leadership.

Obviously u haven't led a thing in your life. Leadership is one of his strongest traits. Now it's a leadership issue lmao. Is he a great recruiter or a great developer of talent? He rarely wins the recruiting title but somehow puts more in the league than the guy that wins the award most years. He's not worried about anything but his players and coaches even above himself. Les miles is a great leader and a great coach. Not sure what more he has to do here to gain any respect. Every bar that's been put up he's cleared it but yet some people just are in denial. Who would u rather have at LSU? Some bad luck and a state that quit producing QB's has slowed his roll but he'll fix it.
But let me make sure I've got this right. You're saying les is dumb and also can't lead. But yet somehow took LSU to 2 natl title games? Ok have it your way!
