The clock is ticking for LSU coach Les Miles

Les Miles is on the clock.
The most critical period of his LSU football coaching career that began in 2005 started the very moment he walked off the field following Tuesday's 31-28 Music City Bowl loss to Nashville.
His program has lost its giddyup the last two seasons, going 18-8 overall and 9-7 in the SEC, including a pedestrian 8-5 (4-4 in the SEC) this past year.

The Tigers can't even consider being a national title contender again, much less even getting to Atlanta for the SEC championship game, if they don't do a substantially better job of recruiting and developing quarterbacks.
It was painful this season watching LSU's offense play with one hand tied behind its back, because it didn't have a quarterback capable of consistently throwing the ball downfield.
One of Miles' flaws is his reluctance to get his backup quarterback snaps in preparing for a future starting role.
quote:
Harris blew hot accounting for five TDs off the bench vs. New Mexico State and then cold when he imploded in his only start at Auburn, he was placed in quarantine the rest of the season.
Harris could have played nearly the entire second half against Kentucky after the Tigers took a 34-3 lead with 10:37 left in the third quarter, yet he didn't make an appearance until there was about 10 minutes left in the game,
After Arkansas led 17-0 over LSU with 11:03 left, the Tigers had nothing to lose at that point. Harris could have played then, but he didn't.

Uhh if he has another 8-9 win season his time will be running out.

Regurgitated garbage. Why do these authors continue to think this is a novel idea? People have been asking for Harris to start right after the spring game.

And Miles lost me as a fan right there.
Because of that LSU will head into next year with the same question marks as last year

100% agree with this article. Sorry for the positigers for the inability to see this steady decline.

Very good article.

This isn't entirely true. Flynn, rp, Lee, Jennings, and now even Harris saw pt as backups. JJ didn't and Lee didn't before he took over in 08, but he played a bunch before starting in 11. Mett didnt, but that's because we had 2 sr qbs.

It was a cheap and accurate shot. Yet by the same token in Chavis' six years in charge of the Tigers' defense, his 'D' allowed 10 fourth-quarter game-winning TD drives including that farewell choke job against Notre Dame.

This is true. I look forward to seeing if we land someone better. However, I think i can say that most will agree that the defensive side of the ball under Chavis was usually stronger than the Offense.

Oh, the clock is definitely ticking and Miles appears to have no clue on how to stop it. Face it, Miles dug himself into a very deep hole. It's his own fault.

Good article. He has another 8-9 win season next year where our offense looks anemic he will be under a ton of heat.

Oh no doubt and no matter what some Miles pumpers may say, His stubbornness just like Gerry Dinardo's might very well be his undoing. I remember telling a lady in the Bengal Belles back in the day who was best friends with Dinardo's wife that if he kept Tepper another year and things didnto work out, the fans were going to turn on him and he would be out of a jobl Not that I was kind of some soothsayer because everyone could see that , but ultimately Dinardo's stubbornness and blind loyalty to Tepper cost him his job at LSU . I believe he said as much during his acceptance speech at Indiana University.

I understand that he is losing sleep over that.
We all are.

Suuuuure did.
Like you told Saban not to put slow linemen on the field goal team.
Like you advised Payton not to get rid of Sproles.
Like you told Petrino that bike riding with a bimbo was not a good idea.
You 20/20 hindsight prophets are a riot.
