Maybe after he retires or something. Only a group of idiots would put up a statue of their current coach.

No statue please but he will have solidified himself as the top coach in LSU history.

No - while LSU has had a tough time naming stuff after people while they are still alive - maybe make the commitment to Miles and his family that, after his retirement, they name the football operations building "Miles Hall". I think that fits his personality and what he would want. Nothing flashy, but a significant honor.

No statue and definitely nothing while he still coaches here.

if you all get a statue of miles, can you make it one of him kicking saban in the balls? I'll chip in...

To barrow a quote from here.
He will get a statue, it will be topped with an oblong crystal thing that looks like a football.

And I don't think we can overstate how obvious this is to outsiders - for winning a SINGLE championship. Words fail me.

Ole Miss can have their co-champs banners and Bama can have their statues. I'm not interested!

No, but if he does get a statue someday, I hope it will be of him clapping.

Retire his hat and hang it in the stadium.

And some grass (blades, not chronic).

I recall that there is a statute in Louisiana that says you can't name a state building, road or other infrastructure after someone that is still living if tax dollars are used to build it. If the building in question doesn't receive any state tax dollars that may be okay.

Let's leave that kind of pompous stuff to our friends in Tuscaloosa.

Although I'm sure having a statue erected in his honor fed the Angry Elf's ego, I don't see Coach Miles as the type of guy who would require that.

I think they should just make a statue of a gigantic LSU hat.
