Only if you think Les Miles' Tigers would have done the exact same thing to Clemson that Ed Orgeron's Tigers did.

Never mind.... not even then. This team is way too good to go 8-5, and we know Aranda's defense will keep us in EVERY game, and Canada is ready to show off on the biggest of stages.

In short, no, Miles wouldn't be to blame. And HELL no, this team won't go 8-5. 10 wins minimum.

Y'all realize this guy is just trolling, right? That title had click bait all over it. Notice he isn't even replying.

Cmon guys

Les did so much damage, can't be fixed in one season, has nothing to do with the win/loss record.

What? He left a loaded roster, top 5 recruiting class and one of the best DC in cfb.

hey even wanted to blame him for the loss to Alabama.

Says the posters that tout Orgeron's interim tenure as why he will be successful yet dont blame him for Bama or florida

Saban's tenure at lsu- 16 losses 12 conf losses
Miles last 5 years at lsu that you love to shite on -15 losses 12 conf losses

In no way did saban raise lsu to what it was by 2011. He started it but miles took it to the next level. Miles has as many top 5 finishes as Saban, Mac,and Dietzel combined.
Miles has more top 5 finishes than Saban had ranked finishes.
Miles inherited a program with 1 top 5 finish in almost 2 decades and a shite recruiting class because Saban had stopped recruiting.

If lsu was so set when saban left why was did saban (the greatest coach of our generation)lose 3 games in year 5?

All those consecutive losing seasons hurt don't they?

Aw, come on man, to most of us who paid attention we won despite Les Miles, not because of Les Miles. However, most people naively gave him the credit for all of those victories. When it was really, Nick Saban’s already recruited future national championship football team left behind stockpiled for Les Miles to take over more than it was anything else that were responsible for those victories, and he still almost blew it anyway, as we missed the championship game in 2006 and had to back our way into the National Championship game in 2007.

Nonetheless, success breeds more success, the impression everybody had was that Les Miles was a great coach, when the reality was it was really those high quality players that were able to win despite the obvious incompetence of Les Miles that was really responsible for the success of the program, and of course, the recruiting remained at a high level, because most people thought that Les Miles was a genius, when he was really just a very lucky mediocre coach at the right place at the right time. If we had had a decent head coach instead, we wouldn’t have lost all of those games we shouldn’t have lost, all of those games that were mismanaged by Les never would have been mismanaged, our teams wouldn’t have played so undisciplined, and our offenses wouldn’t have stunk to high heaven year after year, after year, after year.

In fact, had we had a descent head coach instead of Les Miles all those years, we probably would have easily won another 1 to 2 or more national championships during that same span of time given all of the talented players we had over the years that were squandered under Les Miles.

However, as time went on, Les continued losing more and more games he never should have lost, looked like crap in a lot of other games we never should have looked like crap in, continued fielding undisciplined teams, lost other games due to mismanagement, and his offenses year after year always stunk to high heaven until no quarterbacks wanted to play for him. It finally all caught up with him and he was fired. The truth is he should have been fired a long time ago. In fact, that loser never should have been hired in the first place.

Now I’m not saying he was a bad person because he wasn’t. He would have been a fun goofy guy to hang around with, to drink a cold beer with, to play cards with, or whatever, but as a head football coach, he was very mediocre at best. Get over him, as it’s good riddance. He was a bad hire for LSU.

Please, get a life.

Thanks for posting this. It lets me know you have no clue about lsu football. You just said the lsu coach with the ONE OF THE BEST TENURES IN SEC HISTORY, let alone lsu history, was a bad hire. You sir dont understand football. Bottomline.
