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.

Doubt they'll do that-but I could see them naming a street or a building after him.

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

Stellyonidas•116 months

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

jacks40•116 months

Thanks for the hard work and dedication Les.

Jon Targaryn•116 months

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

purpleleaf•116 months

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

Martini•116 months

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

Solo Cam•116 months

The world isn't full of sunshines and rainbows, it's real and when you're bad at your job you get fired. I hope one day I can stand at Les's statue outside of Tiger Stadium and tell my son about 07 UF, 07 AU, '10 Bama and the entire '11 season. Tell him that Les was a great man and his years were LSU's golden years, but don't be mistaken the game has passed him by and he is no longer an LSU quality coach.

TG•116 months

I'm in agreement with you.

LSU Quality Coach? Lord, this is going to be a great few years, and I cannot wait.

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!

PEABODY32•116 months

Great man and coach

PhifeDogg•116 months

Would hire to coach me through life..

ShlikStyck•116 months

but probably not football...that's the reality of the matter

Spankum•116 months

man, that is sad as hell....

Stellyonidas•116 months

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.

LSUAlum2001•116 months

Don't hire a Saban DC puppet who has no HC experience and we should be good.

LordSnow•116 months

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

LSU-MNCBABY•116 months

Because he doesnt actually give a shite about LSU and is going to take another coaching job.

SoulGlo•116 months

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.

RB10•116 months

Thanks for everything coach Myles.

GeismarGeauxer•116 months

At least spell his name right.

lsucoonass•116 months

I can see him sticking around here.

Maybe he will have a position like ole coach nader.

HogsWillRiseAgain•116 months

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.

Tommy Callahan•116 months

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

barry•116 months

You mean with the millions he's been paid, the top notch facilities, the money to hire one of the highest paid staffs in the country?

BobABooey•116 months

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

Gumbo1•116 months

@BobABooey
Have some class. Les did well for LSU football but it is his time to go. Don't kick a man while he is down.

Jwils•116 months
