I don't. But, like I said, the Miles era will end. LSU and La. are set up for success. Make the right hire and this program can win championships with another coach.


Yeah it's just that easy. No chance in faltering. Why do we even need an AD? Can't we just make one of the business teachers in charge of the hiring process to save money?

So, you expect the program to falter when Miles retires?...

We certainly wouldn't trust you with the decision making with this program.

According to so many people in these threads, what Miles has accomplished is pretty mediocre so wouldn't Les Miles' stats and below be considered faltering? If I was forced to put my life savings on whether the next guy will beat what Miles has done over an 8 year span, my money is on the under. That's if the next guy even makes it to 8 years.

Maybe not.

Have you thought what we will look like in 2014? Our offense graduates. We will still have the nucleus of a really bad defense apparently devoid of SEC level talent.

Without a D to bail out a young offense how many games do you think we win? Maybe it's just the beginning of really bad LSU football.

Yes, the man has done well for LSU, the winningest coach in LSU history yada yada yada...(cue insults for not focusing only on Miles' record) but eventually, his time here will end, and I for one will welcome it.




You can yada yada all you want, but a large majority of the college world would love to be LSU and win 80% of their games in the toughest conference in the country. Saban and Bama has everyone spoiled and have set a standard that everyone here thinks is the mark to reach or we are failures. It's unrealistic and defeatist.
I can almost assure you that whoever LSU replaced Miles with when he leaves will not have the success or longevity of Miles. And when that happens, you'll realize what we had.

I moved out to LA a couple years ago and have become friendly with several USC fans (I know, I know, we hate the Trojans).

Almost to a man, that had the same thoughts about their program and coach. They hated seeing the team lose, but with each loss they knew they were closer to being rid of Kiffin, it was the one silver lining after each week. Just suck it it up until the AD is forced to make a move.

I'm starting to feel the same way about Miles. Granted, he is not the raging douche that Kiffin is, but moving forward this program is going nowhere with Miles. He will have winning records, but he wont win the SEC and he will likely never be better than the fifth team in a 4 team playoff

The success LSU has had under Miles is why LSU gets every teams best game. Look at UGA after the epic game they played against LSU. Back to back losses. There has been much accomplished with a first year OC and after the ruination of Mett from the last OC. There are a lot of fans who equate college football coaching to pee wee or their local class A high school, not understanding what managing a corporation is like, which is more comparable to coaching college football at any level. Miles is among the coaches who will be talked about historically as being winners. What Saban is doing Bama is legendary. It sucks that it's not at LSU, but to want Miles fired for not winning all of them every year is just naive.

Time to rediscover my life and take a hiatus. But I'll leave w/ this, he's called 3rd and Chavis for a reason. LSU's shitty defensive gameplan made an All-American out of an average (at best) SEC QB. Bo Wallace?! He has the worst windup/delivery/throwing motion I've ever seen, but strangely, if you give ANYONE time to sit in the pocket, gain confidence, you get what you got last night. Chavis is a good, solid, defensive coach. (But he isn't worth $1 mil per, and neither is Lester worth whatever ridiculous sum he's plunking down). But he dials up stale, passive, gameplans, that the rest of the league is onto. They see him coming from a mile away. Like last night. No, he doesn't "dial up" shitty gameplans, he phones them in. Horrible. After watching a similar shitty gameplan let UGA beat the Tigers, I watched the Alabama defense crowd the line, blitz, pressure Ol Miss' 3d tier SEC QB all night, and they shut them out. Chavis DOES NOT LEARN from the past. If we had played an aggressive defense EVERY frickING GAME this season, we'd be undefeated.

Fire Miles? No. Because the idiots that hire coaches may very well frick up the hire (does the Bd of Supv's STILL want to hire Pelini??) I would love to see what Chris Peterson, or Charley Strong, could do w/ these players, facilities, etc. etc. etc.

Now, fire Studrawa? Yep. He wasn't a good OC, and he's not a very good OL coach, and apparently he's not a good recruiter.

Chavis? He's solid. That's all I can muster right now. He will continue to put together bad gameplans and allow subpar QBs to have time, gain confidence, and pick his defense apart. So, you tell me ... does that bode well for the future.

See ya.
