This topic is laughable, since 2010 LSU is 33-13 in conference play the greatest run is LSU history and you want to fire the guy. Most LSU fans are delusional, this is as good as it has ever been don't believe me look it up.



Stats, stats, and damn stats. Les Miles's staff and this LSU team don't pass the eye test and haven't for a while.

I thought we were picked to finish no better than 3rd in the west with losing to alabama and 2 others. I think LSU minus the last 2 games has overachieved. This notion of us making the playoffs this year was a surprise to me as well as others. We lost to alabama which sucks as usual. Arkansas has always given us hell.

Im not happy with the play calling and prep. An example is after we were down 31-14 and they kicked off we had one play then mass confusion. I blame the coordinator and am ready for cam to go.

Stats that's what every program is measured by WINS and LOSES and Les has done the best job at that in LSU history.

what game are you watching?
the effort is not on the field.
that starts with coaching!

a lot of those wins are against crappie teams aka Syracuse, the teams that we win against because of our talent, but talent can only get you so far.

everyone knows Les runs the ball on 1st down! we only have 2 other chances on 2nd and 3rd.

special teams big shite show.
time to move on from les

LSU will always be a young team. That's what happens when players bolt as soon as they can sniff a practice squad.

You just don't get it. All wins are not equal. Trust your eyes. If you think this is the best LSU can do, it must suck to be comfortable with averageness.

because all assistant contracts expire after 2016 and miles' buyout goes way down.

he's here for at least one more year, and if we have another late season melt, it'll be a LOT cheaper to fire him and get a replacement.

That's where you all drop the ball, any way you slice it the last 5 years is on the best run in LSU history. I think some of you think LSU has been this major power for the last 50 years, that is not the case don't believe me look back at the facts.

you need to look at facts.

we are barely competitive with lesser opponents.

Les miles just doesnt have the fire or smarts of teaching the x and o's of college ball.

we need to get started and buyout Les miles contract, we have the money, when the fans are not supporting,


LSU has led the sec in ticket sales the prior 2 seasons. I don't know if we will lead this year because of Tamus expansion.

But the fans are still buying tickets.

Well damn. I thought the problem with LSU was that Les interfered too much with his assistants.

I love all of the in depth football knowledge around here.

If somebody can pony-up $100k to buy a frickin jersey, it shouldn't be too hard to find $12 million from within this expansive and well-healed fan base. Keeping the old boy here any longer will cost you way more than $12 Big Ones.

Did you watch the game? The first 3 first downs were incomplete passees. Diff approach, same result. Tried running out of shotgun again. Didn't work. This team had 59 rushing yards and 271 passing yards, yet still lost.

Threw it to the te, threw it to the backs, did everything people have been bitching about. Still lost.

Would have been better to just run the I.

If LSU Football is worth $660m then we should just sell it to the highest bidder, put that money in a trust for academics. Pull out $50m a year or so.
