Who knew from the start that LM wasn't a great coach?

I remember in 2005 when people said I didn't give LM a chance--I guess none of those people were aware that Les had actually coached for four years at Oklahoma State and that a lot of those games were televised.

Guys, we basically have Hal Mumme as our coach.

I was concerned but admittedly tried to ignore a lot and give him a chance and make the best of it.

When a Houston Bowl win over Southern Mississippi is the highlight of your career, you have no business being offered the LSU job.

I always thought he was a lucky blockhead, but just recently did I stop trusting his abilities to run a program at all i.e. hiring correct coaches and game management

I didn't like him from the start and his performance in his first game here confirmed my fears.

Even after we won the NC, I still thought he sucked and won on talent alone.

I just tried to stay positive, but never impressed.

Hated the hire, but gave him a chance. Last night was the last straw though.

I thought he was pretty much on par with John Brady right from the start...

Why would a top 10 program (LSU definitely was) choose a coach that has a record of 28-21?????????????? I will NEVER understand that...

Because he was inexpensive. Then we decided to pay him way more than he's worth.

that's what we always hire...LSU is not going to take the bank to the market to hire a top 5 name. I would say at this point, our next coach will be along the lines of a Bo Pelini, Dabo Swinney, etc.

It looked like a Coker hire all along, imv.

The freak 2007 season hid it a while longer for some.
