The lack of perspective from the Negatigers, Miles needs to stay.

I'm 33 and believe Miles should go to Arkansas.

Im 43 and a blind man can see that win in spite of Miles at times. He is a good recruiter and a decent coach. By no means is he irreplaceable.

The amount of idiots here is tremendous. Losing Miles could very well lead to disaster. For all your bitching about 10-2, what the frick would you do with something like the Tennessee disaster? Auburn? Arkansas?

If Les leaves right now, who are you going to fill that seat with? And don't go thinking it'll be a big name, because it wouldn't be. Letting Les leave would mean you don't want to pay top dollar; if Arkansas can outbid you, so will Auburn and Tennessee.
We'd be looking at trying to steal someone like La Tech's coach for maybe 1.5 mil, and we saw how that worked for Tennessee already.

Your thread has been challenged and your theory about age disproved on the first page. I'm not young either.

I honestly don't know after Saban left I thought he was irreplaceable. We hired miles and won a championship. If we keep Chavis and Les miles leaves or Arkansas will still have winning seasons. At the same token it will be horrible for recruiting if he leaves and we lose some top recruits and have the possibility of competing with him for Louisiana recruits. So for that reason I want him to stay rather than him go to Arkansas.

That's just one aspect. 21 years old.

Now that we know you're wrong, come up with another stupid arse reason why people don't like him

People that talk about LSU's problems after firing Cholly Mac as a cautionary tale are completely incorrect as th situations are NOT analogous.

1) By the end of CM's tenure, LSU was an "okay" program, but certainly not among the "elite" programs as it is today.

2) In his last 5 years, LSU ended the season unranked in the coaches poll each season.

3) CM won the SEC championship all of ONE time during his career at LSU (yes, I know...Alabama).

Anyway, with that "cupboard", and the cheap-assed nature of LSU's PTB, it is not surprising that the 20 years after he left were "mixed" in terms of results. However, despite all that, LSU did have some success (1982 under Stovall, 1984-1988 under Arnsparger/Archer, 1995-1997 under Dinardo).

Once LSU really opened the checkbook (roots with Dinardo, but really picking up under Saban and then Miles), LSU's programs has, for the most part, florished. Unless LSU is about to go back to its miserly ways regarding its football program, replacing Miles will not involve 20 years in the wilderness as replacing CM has been portrayed.

Can "elite" programs go to shite after replacing big time coaches? Sure, but bear in mind that some of the examples given (Miami, Alabama) also had other reasons for their problems, namely the NCAA.

BTW...I am 44.

His 80% winning percentage? His outstanding record? The great recruits he brings in? He eats grass?

Yeah.....look at Ohio St. this year....they really took a fall from the coaching change

Which equal of Urban Meyer will we be able to hire this year? And look at his competition by the way. Still get his arse handed to him in the SEC IMO. That's the reason he left. He was too scared of the competition.
