re: Les Miles was a good manager.

Jarrett Lee lived a charmed life for awhile, throwing off his back foot to really good receivers, but he was terrified of getting hit. He wasn't sacked often because he was gonna fling it regardless of the coverage. In the regular season game against Alabama, he was an absolute disaster.

Talk about an overreaction damn. 2007 Florida, 2012 Bama & South Carolina, 2011 Bama, etc. Some of the best games in LSU history came under Les. I’m not saying he was some fantastic coach or something, but you saying you couldn’t have fun as a LSU fan when he was coach makes you sound like a pussy.

Les was and is a stubborn moron. He had more talent for most of his tenure than everyone we played and still managed to screw it up more times than not. For someone who won as many games as he did, you won’t find many people that miss him. That tells you everything.

Except for all the sexual harassment stuff and his idiocy on game day. I wouldn't hire him to run a Dairy Queen.
He would hit on all the girls and only sell vanilla.

It was the winningest decade in the history of LSU football. Miles’ winning percentage ranks among the top coaches in SEC history.

He didn’t build it from the ground up.If you think Les Miles could have came here before we ever won anything and built it to a power you are kidding yourself.Les kept the program going in the right direction and kept us as a top tier team but without 2003 and those teams before him there would have been no Les Miles.He is the only national championship winning coach in recent memory to leave a top 10 program and not even sniff another solid coaching gig

Right, people play the game of “he is the head coach so he is ultimately responsible for everything that goes wrong,” but he gets zero credit for what goes right.

Les was frustrating, I'm glad he's gone

What’s weird is how his offensive approach became more conservative and old school with time. Okie State was throwing the ball all around the field in the early 2000’s, and we threw it around with Jamarcus in 2005-6, then by the end of his tenure we are 3 runs up the gut in a cloud of dust like it was the damn 1970’s.

I feel the same way about this comment.
Some days I wish we could call him on the phone and fire him again and again. How he got to be a major football coach blows my mind. The idiot bar was set so low with him, Coach O thought his schtick would carry him for years like dumb ol Les.
What Les Miles did to LSU football is shameful.

I can’t imagine how dumb you must think all the coaches he had more success than are.

No “we” didn’t. Some of us knew many of those things while he was still coaching LSU.

That was all Cam Cameron. Miles was always a pro-style guy, but Cam got really conservative towards the end there. Almost like he didn't trust his own passing game, a sharp change in direction from his start at LSU.

Did we really need a Les Miles thread today?

When Kansas is the only football program to offer you a job, that pretty much says it all.

Consider this, he inherited an LSU team that had been recruited by the best coach ever in college football history for the previous 5 years and he still lost 2 games and had to back into the 07 title. The 11 title game looked like it was being coached by Ray Charles.
Hmm. He seemed to do better than Saban with Saban's recruits
Saban last 3 years
8-5
13-1 (NC)
9-3
30-9 overall
Miles first 3 years
11-2
11-2
12-2 (NC)
34-6 Overall
Maybe Saban was a better recruiter back then but Miles was actually a better coach?
Or maybe those things mean nothing really

Les was a great recruiter and a good guy. He will still be at LSU if he allowed an offensive coordinator to run 100% of the offensive and leave him alone. But Les’s pride and stubbornness would not allow this. I wonder what Les was thinking watching LSU’s 2019 offense shred every defense they faced. LSU fans have been wanting this for the previous 10 years. And Les had some talented offenses. He just did not know how to use them.

Damn…there is a whole lot of saltiness is this thread. Are you referring to him being a creep? Cuz yeah that is shameful.
But damn people move on. He won games at a very high level. The DBU mantra started in the Miles Era. His out of conference record is historic in all of college football and a lot of those were quality arse whoopings. During his era LSU had the most players on NFL rosters routinely and the NFLSU mantra began. He went to 2 Natty’s and had the first undefeated season in a long arse time. The game past him up but when the name of the game was play great defense, run the ball, and control the clock/field position we were annually one of the best. I don’t want the guy back either! But I recognize the success of the era and don’t look at it as shameful.
