Les Miles never had the brains or balls to clean house like Kelly just did

LSU's entire offensive coaching staff should have been fired after the 2008, 2009, and 2010 seasons. Without Fournette and Guice, the same would be said about 2014 and 2015.

Miles' incompetence led to a decade of frustration. It may be a low bar to clear, but I'm glad Kelly can be credited with at least attempting to make adjustments.

Les certainly had the brains and the balls, but there WAS something keeping him from replacing a weak offensive coordinator whom the game had passed up. My guess is that his personal loyalty to his good friend was greater than his desire to win big, but who knows.

If a low bar includes a national championship, I’ll take it. Yes, watching a Les Miles offense became continuously more frustrating as the years went on, but you won’t see me kicking ole Leslie unless someone brings up 1/9.

Miles never wanted anything more offensively than a strong running game, a QB who could also run, and a passing game that was super conservative and didn't turn the ball over. He might have SAID he wanted to open it up, but he was never going to let it happen. 3 yards and a cloud of dust. That was his perfect offense and he was never going to change.

People ripping on miles still amazes me. That guy gave us better records, better defenses, better recruiting classes and more title appearances than the 2 coaches after him combined

Les never fired anyone. He suggested they take new jobs and he helped get them jobs at new schools. Kelly straight up fired these clowns and they deserved it.

Just remember, on his worst day, with a cold, and the flu and with a hangover, Les Miles knows more football than you do or ever will.

Just remember that Les Miles gave LSU over 100 football victories.

Just remember that Les Miles gave LSU a national championship.

And while you pathetic Les Miles haters are remembering all of that, let's see what YOU have contributed to LSU football.


Who is first?

Miles guided LSU thru its golden era, and yet everyone shits on him. He did an amazing job.

Miles was too stubborn and hardheaded, just like Jim Mora was with his offensive staff.

I’d give him a pass for 08 simply because his QB room for fricked when Perriloux got suspended. I’m with you after 09 and several times in the 20 teens

They were top 30 in scoring with a redshirt freshman QB thrust in the role too early thanks to Perrilloux

So that’s the standard now? If you don’t put up a Heisman campaign for a player in your offense you not only shake up the coaching, but you fire everyone?

No he did not, but he did have the balls to go for it on 4th down.

The entire offensive staff should have been fired in 2010? They played for a national championship the next year. Also he cleaned house a couple times on the defensive side of the ball.
