Les Miles' Message To The Team: "I'm Forever A Tiger, Go Run The Table"

Coach Miles was awesome for LSU. His unpredictability made LSU a ratings monster for a long time, and that blessed us non-La residents with national tv coverage. Unfortunately and ironically, it became far too predictable and the time came for the torch to be passed. It absolutely sucks how that had to go down, and I hope Miles doesn't hold ill feelings about it. He has been an fantastic ambassador for LSU and the state of Louisiana, and should be recognized as such forever. Thanks again, coach.

Coach Miles is a class act but his time had come. I remember when the "Great" Eddie Robinson, from Grambling State, time came. The Great Bobby Bowden time came. The game changed and passed these men by. I'm not saying that coach Miles was on the same level coaching as these two men but they all have something in common. Great people who were very prideful aka stubborn and the game pass them by. Goodluck Coach Miles and thanks for the 12 years!

I can see him sticking around here. Maybe he will have a position like ole coach nader.

Well he could have left on a high note last season but his stubbornness and piss poor coaching resulted in a mid season firing. Im pretty sure he'll be ok with that 10 mil buy out.

I am ashamed of the way this man has been treated.

Why can't they make a special ambassador position for him ?

Great man and coach

He's awesome even when being fired! I'm gonna really miss me some miles. Frick!

Thanks Coach for all you have done for BR and the LSU program. Lots of exciting Victories along the way. Quirky at times but there was never a doubt your love for LSU. God Bless

Thanks coach for the last 12 years. They have been heart stopping to say the least. Good times. Geaux Tigers!

Would hire to coach me through life..

Sad part is Les did this to himself with his stubbornness.

"Run the table" against a stacked box - Miles being Miles till the end.

Ready for him to go but damn I hope they build a statue for that man, just a super guy... You'll always have a home here Les.

That's a shame. I really like the guy. With this and Arnold Palmer it's been a pretty shitty Sunday for my sports.

man, that is sad as hell....

Thanks for the hard work and dedication Les.

You all got what you wanted. Let's see if it works out now. Hopefully better than the Mark Richt situation but time will tell I guess.

Thanks for everything coach Myles.
