Get a grip Souther MISS vs. LSU? Southern Miss season is over, done, finished. They are not playing for shite, nothing. LSU is playing for the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP and a right to go to a BCS BOWL. I think that may make things a little different. being professional has its morals and values. One of them being you finish the season. If that was not a rule then why wouldnt a school who fires a coach at midseason ask to speak to another coach at once? Because there certain unwritten rules that the coaching community goes by and interviewing during you teasm season is not looked upon well. Name me one successful coach who left his team in mid season and went to another job. Damn, even SATAN waited until the end of the season. If your not there for your players how do you expect them to play for you?

Bayou, if it is true that Les and Michigan spoke today and they are working out his contract now, well, that is piss poor when you have a conference championship to play in on Saturday


It may or may not be true. Who knows. However if he had to take a call from his agent for 20 minutes I am not going to say that is some big betrayal. I mean it is kinda of silly to even think that has a huge effect.

But we don't know if that is even happening. Basically what we have is about a 100 people on here that are repeating a thousand things from their "sources" and before you know it people think its fact.

IN the END we should be asking ourtselves if we are in fact causing a distraction by trying to create a controversy that doesnt exist.

Then diagnose that shitty performance on Friday? What was done wrong and how can we improve. And how can we work on it and improve if the GODDAMN coaches are off interviewing for other jobs?

At what point and time do you make the ADULT COACHES accountable and not the anyone else? What a great example they are seting for these kids by showing them if you have a beter opportunity take it and run. "F" everyone else and what they have put into it. MILES AND BO ARE NOT RIGHT, BUT I BLAME BERTMAN FOR NOT HANDLING THIS FROM THE START. He is asleep at the wheel!

THere is nothing to indicate that Les is violating any morals or ethics or whatever

This is how its done. You will not get quality assistants at LSU in the future if you hold them to your standards

Anyway, I have seen the loyalty that fans have toward both players and Coaches. I have seen this board devote themselves to a player or a aCoach and when he has a bad game they throw them under the bus and call him garbage.

THese Coaches live in a world were there condiitions of employment and stability of that employment is getting shorter and shorter and very much more under threat. So while I understand where you are coming from. I have a hard time buying it because the fans can be just a big of a JUDAS than any of these coaches.

Not only are they interviewing for other jobs but they are negotiating and planning with their families the possibility of a move. This isn't just switching jobs for another one down the street, this is a major life changing event and will have to be done very very soon. How can anyone realistically put 100% into their current job with all this going on?

honestly, socal, i agree. LSU is a job you can be the next Bear at. But, EVERYONE sees us as a stepping stone. LSU IS PRIME TIME noow and with the next head coach, we will show it. GOOD BYE Les. Thanks for the memories.

Then get used to getting screwed by anyone who wants a better deal then they have at LSU. We are setting the standar of letting coaches do what they want when they want. Morals and values are all the same whether you are a coach or any other profession. And we wonder why all these college athletes are focked up? Look at their example!

No, it's really not.

Maybe because we have such shitty fans and Baton Rouge sucks arse.



Socal--you are a joke and embarassment. Quit feeling sorry for yourself.

We're 10-2 and SEC West Champs. Chill out SOCAL.

You want a diagnosis, here it is.

Alexander, out for the season.
Dorsey, knee and back problems.
Steltz, hamstring.
Beckwith, less than three weeks off knee surgery
Curtis Taylor, injured during the game
Playing against McFadden and Jones is difficult when you have all of these injuries.

On top of that, on offense, the following injuries:
Flynn, Shoulder injury during game --- actually went to the locker room before overtime, RP was warming up.
Holliday, did not dress out
Black, injured during game
Stewart, injured during game

Sometimes, it just does not go your way. On top of that, this is game and a business. It is not personal. Comparing it to your relationship with your wife is a bit over the top.

How much more looking do you need. Their is no focus, no leadership, and no loyalty to the program by any one other then the players. If you were a player and saw all this going on what woudl you think? I will not say that any of our coahces have the right to improve their careers. BUT NOT DURING THE SEASON! and the season is not over until SATURDAY. Take it or leave it, but I do not see any other program playing for a conference championship letting their coaches interview this week. shite UCLA want to look at Ken Norton JR, but I dont see USC letting him drive across town and interview? Its called professionalism. And as a professional you honor you current job until its completed. The you have the liberty to look elsewhere when you goals and tasks are completed.

SOCAL, I hear you, understand your passion about this, and part of me agrees with you, but the timing part of this whole mess cuts both ways.

Yes, it sucks that it's a distraction...but if Les is gone, don't you want a deal done as soon as possible so that LSU as a football program (recruiting) can move on? Once we lost to Arkansas the sacrosanctity (I had to look that up) of our coaching staff - with respect to job hunting - evaporated.

I also think that time-wise, Coach Miles has probably devoted very little real time to pursuing the Michigan job this week. He has most likely indicated his interest to his agent (or whoever arranges things like this) and gone back to work. At least I hope so. As for Pellini, I'd imagine his head is more out of the game because - if hired - he's finally a made man. I think that'd be a much bigger distraction.

Long story short: it is what it is, and if what it is is Coach Miles in the maize and blue, then I'd rather it come sooner than later.

How many of us could go and interview for other jobs like that? We would get fired.


Not if you are a coach. It is common practice in coaching ranks.

Saban Lovers,
Why did we not complain about this practice when "The Little Ole Liar in Tuscaloosa" came after the LSU job ?

As I stated before Coaches can section these things off in their brain.


I hope they devote a bigger section to beating Tennessee than they did to beating Arkansas.
