This is my opinion but people want to have a god damn circus now just praising Jesus he came back when they wanted to hang the entire staff a couple weeks back.

LSU fans as a whole are a fricking joke and they got the coach the deserve. A buffoon to match their bipolar tendencies.

As one administrator in the Athletic Dept. told me an hour ago, "We had no choice but to try and keep him. He won 11." And he wasn't very enthusiastic, I can tell you.

The fact he's willing to interview indicates he's willing to leave LSU at any moment. He expects commitment from his players and the fans.. I dont think its unreasonable for us to expect the same of him.


Dude, the frickin guy has turned down a chance to return to his alma mater TWICE. Could you do the same if you were in his situation and LSU wanted you? I think he is without question one of the most loyal coaches in the country.

But players can leave after their junior year and everyone wishes them the best of luck? You're an ignorant frick dude. Michigan is his alma mater and potentially his dream job. HOw do you know he didn't meet with them out of respect for that program?

His dream job offered him the head coaching job and probably a lot of money, he turned them down. THAT'S saying something.

I got a question for you, other companies come up to you and want to interview you for a job with them that might be worth more money and is a job AT ONE TIME you really wanted. Do you automatically turn them down or do you atleast take the interview to see?

STFU with this commitment bullshite, you're an idiot.

Most of us don't have the time nor inclination to go looking up a man's arse to see what is there - we assume he did his job as well as he could and give him credit for the wins and blame him for the losses as well.

I will gladly step forward. Wish he would have gone. Agree with the lucky arse horseshoe comment. The luck will run out eventually. Also still say if he keeps The Not-So- Wizardly One and the offense stinks it up next season both should be fired, no questions asked.

sounds like bullshite to me. if they really didn't want to keep Miles they would of let michigan take him. if what you're saying is true the athletic department is more retarded then most of the posters on here.

don't be fricking stupid. You really think LSU had no choice but to retain him? They could have easily let him walk if they knew a better coach was in waiting.

I can tell you with certainty it's true. Now, he's not the one responsible for the decision or making the direct call but it was his personal feelings. That's all I can say.

FWIW, Miles didn't really have the final say in getting rid of Crowton last year. It would have been a financial disaster to LSU if they let him go.




No. Any of the top 100 TAF members could write a check to get rid of him that they'd basically use to wipe their arse.

TAF didn't write the check because they wanted to see how Miles would do this year. If he sucked it up, they were going to clean house. They weren't going to give Miles the opportunity to get another OC, fail the next year and then be in a bigger financial hole after the guaranteed contract to the new OC. In other words, TAF didn't have confidence Miles would be here right now. So yea, you can blame TAF for Crowton still being here this year.

After all that build up im a little disappointed we werent going to get a new coach. A new coach is like getting a new bike for christmas. You get all excited when you see it and your imagination begins to soar with expectations of where it can take you.

but im ok with the bike we got, but i hope it fires its OC.

How you think it looks from a PR perspective. LSU lets its coach walk after winning 11 and having won a BCS title. I hate the MFer but I understand the position.

Pretty much how I feel. I can talk myself into Miles at times but I'm a peon. I'm not the one who matters.

Based on your balanced and articulate response to an internet forum I think its pretty clear who the idiot is here. Yet another keyboard tough guy has found his way to TD.com...

I never liked the guy!!! NEVER!! I know he's a good man and all that. Mr Rogers is a good man too and I didnt see him around a football field. I'm tired of this program looking look a 2nd tier program. We should dominate. And let's get off this Miles is a great recruiter stuff. He should recruit Louisiana well and he gets the left over Texas recruits. When will LSU ever recruit on the national level like the rest of the big programs. Les is a good guy and I hope he gets it together because it looks like we are stuck with him.

So with an 11-2 record, a beatdown on national television to aTm, a recruiting class that will be one of the top 3 in the country, LSU plastered all over the screen during the National Championship game.......

2nd tier?
