The TR current opinion of Les Miles?

Myself included, we loved 10-win average Les Miles. He kept us sustained in recruiting (learned that was an overstatement).
Until last week when he lost 37 of those wins.
He's no longer a part of Tiger elite, and he'll fall into oblivion as a disingenuous cheater (on and off the football field).
That's my personal biggest bitch about Les. And, you can find posts from me linking his annoyingly obtuse thinking skills :vom: to his battles with multiple brain tumors or cysts or whatever to make him out to be some superhero.
As a full-time LSU fan (I don't necessarily follow every sport), Les broke my little tiger heart. Seriously though, I stood up for him time and time again. Thought he handled the Tyrann Mathieu situation the right way, but look who's sitting on top now? All in all, Honey Badger getting cut from HIS Tigers may have been the best thing that happened to him. But, that has more to do with the road TM7 traveled than it does with Les Miles, and LM's actions prove that.

Personally I feel like les is the man who made lsu who it is.
Posted on 6/29/23 at 11:23 pm to jptiger2009
The man is a shitstain on the history of LSU football.

After all the off the field stuff and now the vacated wins (not that I really give a shite about those since you can’t retroactively change a game), I find it much easier to justify my animosity towards him for his hardheadedness, wasting of talent, and his teams’ constant knack for playing down to opponents. His arrogance towards his offensive philosophy was completely unwarranted as it clearly didn’t work and I’m still pissed off to this day about 1/9/12 and that abortion of a game against Wisconsin in 2016 when he lied to the fan base about changing the offense all offseason.

The TR current opinion of Les Miles?
But, I wasn't a fan to begin with. That dude drove me nuts.
Now knowing he was both goofy and a POS.
I can't take it and respect the guy. Zero.

I’ve moved on.

I loved lining up and physical breaking teams will to play. The game past him by and he never adjusted. He should have been fired three years prior to when he was
All the off the field crap I could care less. He was paid to be a football coach and he was a damn good one for many years.

I think he was a complete idiot.

It’s amazing how LSU fans jump at the opportunity to shite on guys that brought us to the ultimate heights of the sport and gave us some incredible memories

He was divisive *BEFORE* allegations of being a sex pest
I think it’s safe to say he’s generally disliked at this point

Four of the first five times his LSU teams faced off against the supposed greatest of of all time at Alabama, Les out-coached Nick.
He arguably coached his team to the greatest regular season in college football history in 2011.
I believe to this day that he had some type of mental health change because of 1-9-12. That day, his team should have played Oklahoma State for what would have been his second National Championship - this one a perfect 14-0 and not an “undefeated in regulation”. It would have cemented his legacy at LSU and pretty much killed the talk amongst all those insecure fans who secretly dreamed of little nicky coming back.
Instead….well, we know what happened. I don’t think Les checked out immediately, but he went into decline. Similar to Orgeron, his flaws began to dominate him,
maybe almost as a defense mechanism. When he couldn’t find success on the field, he searched for other areas
to fill the void.
At one point, Les was the stand up guy of a coach who kicked Perriloux and TM7 off the team…something the ethical black hole little Nicky would never have done. By the end, he was harassing 20-year olds and letting Darius Guice play.
Before that came out, I think his legacy was that of a winner who should/could have won more…almost a cross between Paul Dietzel who had the NC but left too soon and Charlie McClendon who had good teams and longevity but never had everything go right. I’m not quite sure now whether to say he is “disgraced”
Or merely “tarnished”.

He's definitely a cynical inspiration for me. I, like many others, bought the narrative that he did things "the right way". He was wacky, bold, and was a family man. After everything came out about him, it changed my opinion on how I view coaches. I don't care anymore you're a family man, "one of us", or do whatever; just fricking win with the talent you got. Of course carry yourself with some dignity and professionalism off the field: we don't want immoral crap like creeping on women staffers while married.
This is all to say is that I don't buy any "brand" a coach puts out there now thanks to him (and Ed O to a lesser extent as well). Just have the program that wins, adapts, and maintains a winning culture that doesn't waste everyone's time. Thanks for everything Les. Stay at home in the shadows.

He was an embarrassing Head Coach With embarrassing ,dumbfounded Coaching decisions ! Should have been fired a long time ago !
Posted on 6/30/23 at 5:19 am to jptiger2009
Les Miles and Ed O are basically the same with their coaching quit and tail chasing ways. Both brought a title and some good times. In the end, not great coaches or men.

Never liked him. His bullshite caught up with him as it often does. Guys who skirt by eventually get exposed. That’s true in all walks of life. Reminds me that I need to get going today and quit dicking around on TD.
Posted on 6/30/23 at 5:45 am to jptiger2009
Les was a limiting reagent.
Posted on 6/30/23 at 5:49 am to jptiger2009
Les kept us from getting Saban back…
Posted on 6/30/23 at 5:50 am to jptiger2009
Les Miles > Ed O
Both were somewhat embarrassing to LSU. But Les didn’t stand by and watch the program collapse
