It's not as bad as ESPN and others media is trying to spin it

We're not just chasing Alabama Arkansas and Ole Miss has a better record against us the last three years. Les is a smart man, he should've known last year when Alleva did not give him the money to hire a top Dc his job was being evaluated. He has had lackluster offenses since the 2011 NC game. To go along with his almost .500 SEC record and losing SEC west record. Alleva gave him a raise in the middle of all that. I guarantee you he was told or hinted to that the offense needed to start producing. He refused to change. In today's world LSU is a big boy in college football. LSU has too resources facilities and athletes to settle for mediocre. Like it or not LSU football is a business to and you all know Les was not getting it done. There's too many other big programs that fell off for waiting too long to fire a coach.
