Best article I have read since loss.

This article was written well and to the point, as much as I like Les Miles "and I personally truly do like the man" you have to separate the two - Miles the Coach and Miles the Man. He is getting paid to produce and last night was an epic fail in that LSU really didn't look prepared. You could tell Miles wanted to be balanced but the fact is Harris is not the QB we hoped he would be, it is truly time to move on from Harris or completely change our offensive scheme to fit Harris which isn't going to happen.

There's no one to blame except the guy who pockets a $4.38 million annual paycheck, the person who said after nearly being fired at the end of last season he thinks his archaic offense only needs tweaking, the funny, quirky guy who annually lands top 10 recruiting classes and turns them into teams battling for minor bowl bids.
Again, when you judge Les Miles, you have to separate the person and the coach.
As a person, Miles is a gem, someone who deeply cares about his team and the city and state that has been his home since 2005. The class way he handled the last two months' worth of tragedies in Baton Rouge, the racial tension, the police shootings, the recent flooding, can't be disputed.
But he's not handed a truckload of cash to be a voice of social conscience. He is being paid to win football games, especially the ones in which he has superior talent, which is most of the time.
His repeated answer to several questions from the media after Saturday's debacle: "I'll have to wait and see the film."
Really, does he have to see the film to realize how unprepared his team looked? It's what happens when the Tigers lose their first season opener since 2002, and he's in as big a fog after the game as he was during it.

Don't know if that was it or this one but if this was is not it you have to read it anyway. From The Hayride:
Suddenly, Those Troglodyte Fans Wanting Les Miles Fired Last Year Aren’t Such Troglodytes Anymore

Don't acknowledge this poster. He's beyond idiocy now. He just argues to argue. He's unbelievably wrong, and he's been proven very wrong, yet he doesn't stop.

Not sure how legit this is, but it sure goes against all the people who say Alleva leaked the story to Rabalais.

Separating his personality and his coaching ability seems to have always been one of the biggest issues for Miles lovers/ positigers. Les is a stand up guy, his coaching ability is definitely questionable.
Being realistic and acknowledging the team's deficiencies shouldn't be viewed as being a "negatiger"

Yes but we are considered nega-tigers! I am a Posi-Tiger - meaning I am positive how much I love my school and everything it has to offer. It also means I want my school to perform at the highest level in everything from academics to athletics and to the success of everyone involved at LSU. But I am a Nega-Tiger because I point out when there is an issue with something at the school.
I actually feel it is the other way around the Nega-Tigers are the ones that refuse to take their heads out of the sand to see if there is something wrong. They are so afraid of change, even when there is concrete proof there is something wrong, that they want everything to stay the same for the simple fact that it might get worse. They are right it might get worse, but more importantly if the right decisions are made it will definitely get better. So I am a Posi-Tiger I positively feel it is time to find a new head coach for the football team, the Nega-Tigers are the ones that want to keep Miles and continue to watch our football program decline in performance.
What I really don't understand is that LF is a once every 2 decade type back compared to the likes of AP, Hershal and Beau and he deserves to be in that conversation he has earned it. What would our season have looked like without him last year if 9-3 was with him? 8-4 or 7-5 it is truly embarrassing that we do not have a more balanced offense to help LF out, Harris can't pass the ball with any consistent accuracy he needs to be benched simple as that!!!!
