He did do a very good job.

In fact, hats off to all three. They actually had an intelligent, nuanced discussion of the pros and cons of Les Miles. No soundbytes. I was very impressed. They blew the Gameday crew and the rest of ESPN off the map.

Absolutely.

That Alleva needs to keep Miles

uh oh.

here comes the "Booger is stupid" posts

Bogger is telling the truth. Yes most of us love us some Les but he has not changed to keep up with the rest of the leaders in the SEC. If not he will sit with M. Richt.

everybody but the miles lovers

you try to make a negative post because his logic is correct, so you can't argue it.

i never said i disagreed

I support LM and I also agree with the state of emergency by Booger.

Some would say both are impossible. But I get it, and it is possible.

I do not support Miles, but still am 100% LSU (and agree with Booger). Some will say both those simultaneously are impossible because Les Miles IS LSU Football. And that is one of my issues.

I can no longer support Les Miles because either:

A) he is as truly hardheaded, oblivious to the NEED for change, and resistant to those changes even if he realizes the need for them. Don't know if it's ego. Don't know if it's selective memory (worked once, will work again; nevermind it's failed 100 times since that one time). There plenty of evidence, time and time again, this is the case. There won't be substantive changes without a change in the HC position is the basis here.

Or... more frighteningly....

B) He does not have the best interest of the program at heart. He's in this (last couple years? not the entire time) for himself and his friends on staff. There is some, but scant, evidence of this. Flirting with MI and Ark for raises/extensions, keeps padding the staff with friends, etc. I don't want to nor do I believe this is the case. There are other explanations that make that "evidence" flimsy such as flirting with other schools is "just business"; noting he didn't take it too personally or at least lash out publicly too much when the pendulum was swinging the other way last week. Friends on staff could be a trust thing (especially after Chavis).

But I can't shake the history of coaches overstaying. It almost never ends well (Mack Brown is prime example). Sometimes it end ok, like Bowden at FSU; But Bobby wanted to retire. He "transitioned" with a plan.

Booger knows football. All you need to know.

Booger is not hindered by political correctness of the local media, or talk boards censors who have rules about talking bad about LSU coaches.

Yes indeed, THANK GOD for Booger McFarland.

The entire time he was talking, I was nodding my head and saying, "Yes, yes, thank you!"

I think a lot of folks wants a change, for better or worse at this point. That being said, the way Admin handled it was completely wrong and that kind of took the attention away from Les being "let go". Georgia didn't have a bunch of gossipers leaking info, and boom! Bye bye coach! That's how it should've happened. A lot of the reason that there was no change was the way it was handled.
