1) He only won a championship and is undefeated against OOC opponents and bowl games with Saban's players.
2) He gambles too much and gets lucky everytime.
3) He is too conservative.
4) When he coached at Oklahoma State they weren't even the best school in their state.
5) Should have known that Ryan Perriloux would be a screw up during the recruitment process and should have went after Colt McCoy instead of the better home-grown talent.
6) He doesn't recruit enough Louisiana players that bleed purple and gold.
7) He hasn't replaced Jefferson with Jarrett Lee yet. Lee is obviously the better QB.
8) LSU should still be undefeated. They lost to an overrated Florida team.
9) He got out-coached by Urban Meyer. Everyone knows Meyer is an overrated coach who won 2 championships with Zook's players.
10) Miles cannot lock up Louisiana recruits. He is losing 5 star players to schools such as USC and Tennessee.
11) He hired Gary Crowton.
12) He should have known the co-defensive coordinator idea was a failure before it even happened. He shouldn't have waited until the end of the season to hire a new defensive coordinator.
13) He keeps recruiting players to play other positions. It's proven time and time again that players never transition well between positions or sides of the ball.
14) He played for Michigan(Big Ten school) so there is no way he can keep up with the speed of the SEC.
15) He does not play enough true freshmen. That's why he will never outrecruit Saban.
16) There are so many coaches out there that could replace him. I believe Tuberville, Fulmer, Schottenheimer, Shannehan, Cowher, and Willingham are all available.

Does anyone else have anything to add to this list?

Very few people want him fired. It's just a knee jerk reaction to the loss.

Sloppy, undisciplined play resulting in too many flags.
Teams do not seem to improve as year unfolds.
Talent not maximized to fullest.

nice sarcasm

adds:

He won't let Crowton call the plays

His hat is too high on his head

He doesn't speak about the "process" enough

yeah, let me add one:

17) because as I sit here on my couch wearing my tightie whities and wifebeater's undershirt, scratching myself as I watch the NFL offering on the boob tube, it would provide me immediate satisfaction for LSU (a school I didn't attend and have no affiliation with) for said school to fire its head coach on a whim so I'll momentarily feel better about my own pathetic life. Plus, I just like the sound of hearing myself say, "Fire 'em! Fire 'em all!"

I'm going to quote what Jimmy Ott told my class 2 weeks ago, he's safe this year, regardless ... if its 4-4 in the SEC or worse, his seat is hot; he's getting paid above average money so we expect above average results ...

ETA: to the OP, I 'd

17. He has only lead the team to 2 BCS bowls in 4 years, and is 2-0 in those bowls
18. He is 2-0 in his other 2 bowl games
19 He has only lead the team to 2 SEC Championshipe games in 4 years and is only 1-1 in those games.
20 He generaly sucks as a public speaker, a head coach, and a recruiter

Actually, I agree with this one. Perrilloux had a history of being a discipline case long before he got to LSU
