re: I have one thing to say about Coach Miles!!

Did u want him gone?

He does not get paid four mill to be a good daddy. That is great but most of us do that for free. He gets paid to win football games and represent the univ with pride and integrity which he does. He is 5-0 and they will not be getting rid of miles he has done more than enough to keep his job. The only way he loses his job is for Lsu to tank the rest of the season and I don't think Fla is good enough to take LSU and Auburn defense is struggling and Nevis is good enough to get pressure on Newton without blitzes

No one here has ever questioned Miles' character. He's a good man for sure.

In your post, you say you aren't qualifIed to comment on his coaching. This is bull shite way of ignoring the poor coaching that has occurred. And, you clearlynhave commented on other things LSU that you weren't qualified on.

Fact is Les is paid $4M and that includes coaching last I checked. If he wins, then he will stay and all will be forgotten until he does. If he loses a few this year, he will lose his job for how he represented LSU on the field, not off it.

Winning can be great when your winning but it never lasts as we all know. But, having character, and having a positive impact on what a young man may or may not become has much more to do with how we are graded and in the box marked character beside Coach Miles' name you can put a check mark.

Shula had more character than Miles could ever think of having, yet you gumps ran him out of town and y'all actually have hate for Shula.

The character of most Bama fans is revealed because of how you treated and still treat Shula's time there.

Puh-lease don't come on here and talk to us about character. Bama is at the bottom of the barrel on that one.

BamaScoop dint you just say yesterday that you thought MIles already lost the team........and now today this.

Scoop you know we are the only team with the actual players to compete with Bama this year. If things go according to plan the showdown in November will be EPIC n BR.

I agree and I will be honest. I thing if Lee gets the ofense going, and I just mean decent not lights out, I think LSU can not just win but beat us convincingly. I do not think we are as good as everyone thinks we are. I think we beat a bad Florida team and just because it was Florida everyone thinks we are great. I do not think that is the case or at least they haven't proved that to me at this point.

Good post. I'd be shocked if there's a Tiger fan that thinks Miles is a bad guy. He might be one of the worst public speakers in a job that requires good public speaking, but he definitely seems like a genuinely good guy.

I've always wondered about what his exact motives were/what the real situation was with regard to the Michigan job, but I've got to give him the benefit of the doubt there too.

I am off the bandwagon as far as defending his ability to be an elite coach though. He has the power to sway me back, but I'm done now.

Mark Richt is a class guy, but I'm thinking the Dawg fans are in a somewhat similar boat as far as the thought process.

Have some of you people lost your minds? Feeling sorry for Miles and having some sort of "post-event misgivings" for being "unduly hard" on Miles should not be confused for accepting less than we deserve from a coach. I'll agree he may be a good guy but I'm still not so sure the Michigan job was his to turn down. At any rate, Miles is paid to win and not put the University in harm's way in the process. Looking at the trend over the last 2 years I'd say his first priority is not being fulfilled.

We agree that Miles is a man of good character. There are millions of men of good character, almost none of whom make $3.8 million per year. Don't feel too sorry for Les... he's set for life.
