CNN has just blamed global warming and world hunger on Les.

After Jarrett Lee, Les lost all confidence in any QB. The problem with that is you lost confidence in the whole offense and fan base.

As do I. It's the 1 out of 4 that I mentioned that doesn't have micromanagement. They've even gone so far as to promote personal leadership from within, even at the grunt level. That has its own flaws, but I can say that the current company I work for is way more productive than some slap dick "it's my company, you do what I tell you to do" approach.

Unfortunately, he didn't lose confidence in Jefferson.

If the next coach wins 2 SEC titles and 1 2-loss national title in the next 12 seasons he will deserve a statue, I guess.
Some kind of way I've been mistaken as a "pumper" when I've been on the Les needs to go bandwagon for quite a while. I've warned that the history of replacing coaches with his success is not good, but it doesn't change the fact that it needs to happen.
Anyway, to your point stated above - regardless of how it happens, would you consider 2 SEC championships and 1 national title in the next 12 years a success? I'm not trolling or anything, I'm genuinely curious.

People should comprehend that it's not a mutually-exclusive (black and white) distinction. It's not:
EITHER
Les is good, hence great coach
OR
Les is evil, hence crappy coach.
You can believe that Les was a good guy and still accept that he wasn't a great coach and suffered from some classic leadership flaws (stubbornness, tactical/game management deficiencies, player development).
I don't blame the pumpers too much - you have to admit that it was very uncanny even bizarre how the yearly performance was always just good enough to buy him more time and spawn some supporting statistics even while the brass ring was repeatedly out of reach. It was easy to blame the refs (because there was some flagrant shite), the SEC, Perrileux, and whatever else while Miles just kicked the can along. BUT hopefully all can agree that there had been some dysfunctional shite that had taken root and it was time to move on for everyone's sake. I can't imagine Les was happy with the performance either but couldn't figure out how to change bc he blamed everything else.

Backhanded jab at your unwavering support of miles....its all in good fun Sal.

Was Les holding Aranda back as well? The reason I ask is that our defense played like monsters against a pretty potent offense this past Saturday. Against lesser offenses in the first four weeks, we had struggles and didn't seem to be taking the fight to our opponents.
I personally think it was because the Offense controlled the clock which gave the defense the rest it needed.

it wasn't so much a comment in support of Miles, just a comment on how I would expect consistency from the negas
even though I know they won't be

God we have the most football ignorant fans in cfb. Miserable coaches dont have the success Miles had while playing in the hardest division in cfb.

Well technically, CEO is batting .1000 right now so his winning % is higher than Les's...jus saying!

Just as one can believe Miles was not as great a guy as perceived and a shitstain coach.
Frankly, I thought he was an arrogant arse while at Okie St. I couldn't stand his overly brash way when not really winning jack shite except beating Stoops twice in a row.
Top that off with how he handled Lee/Jefferson, quitting on 1/9, leveraging the Arky job for more money, then saying yearly he would change the offense, make it better. Only willing to pretty much give LSU admins, coaches, players, and fans a big fat finger. Yeah, he is such a swell guy.

It was great, for once I did not have too sweat the ending of the game in the 4th like we've have done in the past against lesser competition.

"Success" is a relative term.
As for championships, the coach can only control some of the factors that go into that.
