Can we discuss 3 blowouts; 2 to inferior opponents?


idk how you can call Ole Miss inferior. That's a very bold and cocky statement.

9-3 if we beat A&M and bowl team. by Brazos
It's the fact that they were blown out and dominated three weeks in a row! That should never happen. Something is extremely wrong with the program for that to happen. How people and the national media can't see this is beyond me.

You mean the same national media that has shite on Miles for years? Yeah, they're hypocrites, nothing new here

This game affects nothing. It's either already over or it's not. Next thread.

Unacceptable IMO not because of the 9-3 record per se but rather because of the steady and consistent decline in conference competitiveness over the past few years, a lack of preparedness, and poor judgment in selection of Cameron and Steele as coordinators.

But the primary factor is the reality that we are no longer competitive for championships, specifically our conference.

I think he deserves one more year, but on the other hand it's a lot more enticing/easier for a coach to come here and take over with a potential Heisman running back and a 3rd year QB. A new coach will be starting from scratch if he comes in 2 years from now.

I expected 2-3 losses at the beginning of the season and would never have guessed Les would be canned because of it. That being said... it's probably a good time as any to move on.

Give him one more year. Let Harris show what he's got as a Junior. The nucleus of the team will be back. If the offense still looks inept next season with similar results, send him packing.


Or... Use that ridiculously talented core nucleus to draw in a top replacement that doens't use the same gameplan every single week. A coach will be more likely to come with LF and Dupree in tow than they would without.

it's not just about the overall record. We play 3-4 cupcakes per year and another 2-3 weaker SEC teams.

Our real schedule boils down to about 5-6 games. And we've gotten destroyed by 3 of those teams in consecutive weeks. We looked completely unprepared, unmotivated, and we weren't even competitive.

Going 3-3 (or worse) in those handful of "real" games is utterly unacceptable.

I like how no one in this thread answered the question posed in the OP.

So I'll take a stab at it and say that the fanbase would not be clamoring to replace Les Miles at the start of the season if you told them we'd go 10-3

I agree with that for sure. Only thing that worries me is striking out on a hire, waiting too long. I think we're going to end up with a guy from a smaller school taking a step up. I just don't logically see Chip Kelly or Jimbo fisher coming here. Maybe Herman would be the best hire all around. It's a delicate time of year, by this time next week they either need to have canned Miles or taken a full swing in support of him to hold onto the recruiting class.

It's the way in which we lose, get out coached, game time management and play calling. It's not the overall record. If we were competitive in every game for all 4 quarters, this would be a non issue.

it's not that simple. You have to consider the quality of our competition and how we actually played to determine how good we are and whether we're playing up to our potential.

Example: what if we won each of our first 9 games against shitty competition by scores of 7-6, and then lost each of our last 3 games against good competition 63-0.

Would you call that 10-3 year a success?

They would ask who we lost to and how bad we looked.
If they knew how bad the 10-3 looked they would want him replaced.

. This is more likely. The coaches and team has appeared to quit. Will be surprised if the aTm game is anything but a very ugly loss.

Thanks. And it seems like a given too. A bowl victory is practically a fait accompli under Miles.

I wish people would understand.. The longer we hold on to Miles the harder it will be for the next coach to revive the program, the harder it will be to get a great coach to come here and the closer we get to becoming the next Texas or USC..

The reason these schools fell off is because they let their programs fall apart before making a change.

LSU is at the point where we decide if we want to take the risk of Miles riding this program until the wheels fall off or we do some preventative maintenance and keep this thing rolling.

How many times do we need to say it's not the losses, it's how we lost?

Three beat downs in a row. All starting with 17-0 or 24-0 deficits before the half, no fire, no fight.
