Ya'll forgot to mention that Miles would go to LF's room night and beat his sore ankle with a baseball bat.

And don't forget that LF begged, pleaded with Miles to let him sit out and Miles told him that being injured would toughen is character.

Miles knew that he as going to be fired so he wanted the star of the team to be hurt so that his successor would have a bad record.

Miles slipped something into LF's baby's apple juice that made her cry all night, keeping LF awake and making him tired for practices.

Miles would make LF carry the ball 100 times in full contact scrimmages the night before the games.

how do you know that his other ankle didn't put him in position to be injured on that play?

And within minutes Les sent an obviously injured Fournette back into the game, costing LSU and LF7 dearly.

What Miles did to Fournette, is what he did with so many LSU players, and that is he wasted their talent while they were playing for him at LSU.

Do you feel there is a reason to hate Les Miles?

Based on the shite show offense Les and Cam ran and how the 2nd, 3rd and 4th string running backs have performed post Les and Cam..... the answer is a resounding mutha fuking YES!

I don't hate him. However I am so happy he is gone. I think he was an average at best coach who just lucked out in getting this job...LSU made CLM

Did Saban run Derrick Henry into the ground giving it to him 40 times a game?

Just to put this to rest I believe he injured the other ankle against Auburn. He has 2 ankles. One healed and he hurt the other one 4 games in.

NO, Miles did a lot of things i didn't agree with but this is not one of them.


Why is nobody asking Saban if he ran Henry in the ground?

Fournette doesn't get tired, he just sweats.

Sorry. I am just tired of so many people bashing Miles and putting every wrong in the world on him.

It was likely time to part ways, but he is a great coach and as a tiger I will always cherish his tenure.

Saban doesn't run eighty freakin' contact plays in practice, and he sure as hell isn't beating up his talent with the "Big Cat Drill".

He got hurt at practice. Hopefully he'll be back for BAMA, but it won't just be him. Coach O knows to beat them we have to use multiple backs less predictable offensive schemes.

Les Miles Toss Dived him till he broke. SEC DL (and LB's) are huge, fast, and mean. Don't care how talented a running back (and Fournette is immensely talented) you happen to be, no running back in the SEC (or any conference for that matter) can hold up to that punishment. Les Miles could not spread them defenses out. Result was evident for all to see.

Les Miles offense consisted of Fournette left, Fournette right, pass, punt. Well maybe not all the time, but enough to where the opposing defenses kept that box stacked.

Having said that.
