re: How Ugly Will the Anti-Miles Backlash Get Next Season?

Still didn't answer my question. Your refusal to be honest in this situation speaks volumes. It would require you to be critical of your idol and that ain't happening. Less Miles deserves every bit of the criticism directed towards him.

some of it...yes. most of it is way over the top

1) Those of us who were at the game--and those they represent who weren't--who honestly thought we were being good sports and giving Les a good sendoff in gratitude for the past--and then watched the media twist that into some mandate for Les to stay.


There were those of us who pointed that out in threads days before the game that the media and administration would misunderstand what the cheers were about.

And why would we expect the media to get it right anyway? When the fans boo, the media seems to think those booing are doing so aimed at that particular player, when it is/was directed to the coach.

Regardless of anything else, the pumpers, the politicians, and the administration thummed their nose (no pun intended) at TAF and the average Joe t-shirt buying fan. But those same groups who lobbied to keep him will be crying and begging for money once this melt boils dry and evaporates.

Have either of you thought for a moment that the majority of people in the stands were cheering for Miles and wanted him to stay?

I get a kick out of how your view of the event is not fact.

Let the season play out with sloppy rent-a-wins and more futility once we hit the meat of the schedule in November and we receive our now-expected arse-kickings from Alabama, Arkansas, and Ole Miss--exacerbated by Miles refusing to change anything--

Actually I like our chances against Ole Miss on October 22nd. They will be coming off of a road game against Arkansas. We will be coming off a Home Game against Southern Miss. I have a feeling they might be a bit banged up after playing Arkansas.

And number 8) Let Frank and O leave this offseason while BDP, Cam, and Steele stay.

That will stir the gumbo pot further and bring it closer to full boil.

In the waning moments of the Ole Miss Beefense finally admitted that he'd be OK with Miles being replaced by Jimbo.
So, we know that he is accepting of change under the right circumstances.

What he's probably up to NOW is to simply try to keep the board as upbeat as possible, because this, in his opinion, helps LSU for the bowl game and for recruiting. That is a reasonable view.

If Beefense was ready for change at the moment when the Ole Miss game ended, a future repeat of those three weeks would probably cause him to again be ready for change. However, he probably doesn't see any useful purpose in publicly demanding change NOW. That's how I see it.

Now for my own personal opinion: FIRE MILES NOW. . . j/k.

Champagne, IMO, you're a good poster who contributes a lot to this board.

My question for you now is:

Why are you giving credence and weight to what a little shite like Beefense--who is nothing but a troll and a spammer--has to say?

Ben,

It's not like Les Miles hasn't won championships. I would not argue with you if the only thing we had to go on was 2014 and 2015. But you act as though it is unrealistic for a coach who has won 3 SEC West titles to win the West next year with a really solid team. You act like it is crazy talk to think that a coach who has won the SEC twice might be able to win the SEC with Fournette, Harris, Dupre, Adams, Godchaux, Toliver, Key, etc.

This isn't Ole Miss or Miss State. This is LSU. We have a really good squad coming back in 2016. We have a really strong recruiting class coming in in February. We have coaches who, while they can be fairly criticized for some issues in 2015, have achieved the highest pinnacles of their profession. And we have a decision made to retain them at least to see what they can achieve next year.

So you have a choice. You can run them down and help perpetuate a negative aura around the program that no one can do anything to quell until next fall. Or, you can be a grown up, accept the decision (or at least accept that nothing you say or do in the next 8+ months will change a damn thing) and support the team and its goals of recruiting top talent between now and national signing day and cheer like hell for them in the fall.

It's a free country. No one can stop you guys from being miserable fans who run down everything about the school, the players and the coaches. Just please promise that if you are proven wrong next year that you not hop on the bandwagon and not celebrate the success since you are doing everything that a powerless fan can possibly do to prevent it from happening. There is no room for you on the bus.

I'm so confused. Why would any true/real fan want Les to stay?
