If you accept the fact that we are a second tier team Les is easier to accept.

If I just think of LSU as a second tier team in the SEC West then Les Miles is not that bad. He only becomes bad if I try and think of us as elite. Les has a ceiling and fortunately for him it's just high enough to keep him around and unfortunately for us it's not high enough to get us back to elite status. In his first few years we got the best that he had, those days are over and what we have left is a lazy approach to coaching and game planning. I have no expectation that we can beat Bama or any other SEC West team that has even close to equal talent because there coaching will always be better then ours. If you just go ahead and accept that this is our new norm like Miles supporters have then it really is easier to deal with going to loser bowls with elite plsyers. Ignorance is bliss, isn't that right Les supporters.
