He has always been a bad coach.

Anyone that has played Pop Warner football feels like they could do a better job.

We are several years in with him being a terrible coach and I've never understood his defenders.

He has been awful for 5 years.

Denial, I guess. Plus it took a while for it to fall apart completely

To be honest I'm one of those people. And for me it's just so unbeleivable somebody with that much on the line can be so stubborn. Really. It's actually amazing how much he refuses to even tweak, let alone revamp.

I've never seen someone make more talent struggle against less talent like he does.

He played for national titles and recruits out of his mind. He's great, just lost his touch.

I've apologized TWICE since coming around (approximately 3:30 PM Saturday).

I can't do it much more.



I AM SOOOO SORRY!!!

My grandfather, dad, and brother all quit watching LSU football years ago. I'm the only dumbass that stuck it out this long. After yesterday, I won't attend another game until that goofy head coach is fired.

He would always win just enough to keep his job or pull a upset win out of his arse. The writing has been on the wall but it's hard to fire a coach winning 9-10 games. LSU's talent alone is usually enough for that when you throw in the rent a wins.

He was never great. He squandered the most talented team in the nation in 05 and 06, and tried his hardest to do it in 07 before God reached down and handed him success from the ashes of that Arkansas game.

There were signs of it prior to 1/9/2012.

But after that evening, there was no more doubt in my mind.

I'm glad I'm not one of those people that were still in absolute denial about Les.

Even when were crushing shite in 2011, I was still suspicious of Les and I saw tons of warning signs leading up to and past the SEC Championship against Georgia.

I don't know how I would handle the absolute big stank of reality shitting all over my face.

But it will be good for people in denial in the long run. This is like a hot fever that is finally breaking and winding down and the body is flushing the last out of it.

what gets me is that the problems have always been there.

when we somehow pull it off, miraculously or not, they ignored all the signs bc 'just win, baby.'

the problems just keep adding up and adding up.

We used to say that Les brought the competition down to his level and then beat them with experience. We thought that was so funny when we won. Now the competition is on to the Lester and it's not that funny anymore.

All of this. His team's have always had games like yesterday, we're just used to pulling it out in the end. When you win, you sometimes forget how shitty the team looked. I've wanted him gone since the OM clock fiasco, and I know I'm not lying because frickin Timehop reminds me every year now.

Saban fricked us by leaving for the Dolphins as late as he did.

By that time, all the vacancies had been filled by good coaches. Being the only one left that was interested, Miles pretty much got the job by default.

Sad part of it is, had Saban made his move 3 weeks to a month earlier, we could've made a pitch to Urban Meyer.
