It didn’t end well, but I’ve got a lot of love for Les. Happy Birthday, Coach.

Love that man! HB, Coach!

All 4 losses this year are the types of games, Les figured out a way to win.

This man’s teams were built for the 12 team playoff. The BK era has made me appreciate the Les years even more.

Hope coach is doing okay

This is a good point. He would've whooped a lot of big 10 arse in a 12 team playoff

Man, his offenses were boring, but at least we could run up the middle for a couple yards.

He’d still be here if he were a little less stubborn. I really liked that guy till Lambeau.

He seemed to thrive in chaos

As much as the Tenn 2010 game made me mad, looking back it's pretty funny to see Dooley freaking out in disbelief on the sideline after the too many men penalty and then the camera cuts to Les and he's just calmly drinking water out of a water bottle with his hand on his hip like what's unfolding in front of him is the most routine thing.

He def could get his teams to play hard. Best attribute a coach can have IMO.

Les is the not-so-great looking ex-girlfriend that gave great top and loved every second of it. You don't realize how great she was until you stuck with a woman who does it occasionally because she feels obligated to.

Les never lost to • Miami (Ohio) • Colorado State • Troy • UAB

Not ONE embarrassing loss in 11 1/2 seasons! And Miles and Miles of memories of epic football games. Thank you Les -- happy birthday GOAT!

By no means the GOAT LSU football coach. But just right for his era...until he wasn't.

He coached us to some of the most exciting wins in history. He was unique, stubborn, goofy, tough, emotional, and engaged. I hope the new coach has a few of these qualities.

Happy Birthday Coach! Glad you are part of the history of LSU football.

1/9

Ole Miss clock management

Wisconsin


All embarrassing loses.

Others that stick out were Clemson bowl game when Hill was mysteriously shut down after starting the game hot.
Penn State bowl game with the terrible turf.
Arkansas 2014 17-0
2015 Bama when he ran Fournette up the middle 150 times for 30 yards.

They weren’t small school embarrassing, but all equally head scratchers. The way we lost was embarrassing.

I loved him for a while and then he became embarrassing and was taking us with him.
