It's because that's what it is. You can't tear down everything about the man without tearing down the program.
I have been saying this for two years now; LSU 'Fans' are burning down the village to 'save' the village.
People blame 'lack of development' or 'poor coaching' for JJ's struggles but he does great until he steps on the field under the scrutiny of Tiger Nation, maybe WE have caused the RUINNATION of JJefferson AND JLee's confidence.
I am ashamed of Tiger fans more than I would have ever believed imaginable.
I always thought bleeding purple and gold was special, I thought it was unique in that we could have teams Like USC come into Tiger Stadium in the late 70's when they really were a dynasty and scare the living daylights out of them despite having significantly inferior talent.
The intimidation came from the fans and while some of those traditions and characteristics remain, WE the FANS are becoming the NATIONAL JOKE, not Les Miles and we the fans will have to suffer the consequences long after we run him off.
In the end, Les Miles wins >75% of his games and has a national title. If he wants another head coaching job, he'll get it.
We on the other hand might just be destroying the two greatest things LSU has ever had going for it; the venue and the fan's reputation as the best in college football.
Welcome to the new(perception)reality, Miles is goofy but LSU fans are completely whacked out nut jobs.
Hey five star QB, come to LSU so we can BOO your but off the field if you struggle as a Freshmen, or sophomore, or junior, or well ever really.
By the way OP, great post!

Excellent point.
A friend of mine relayed this to me earlier today:
quote:
"The player is obviously underperforming intentionally, and fans booing him will make him play better. Moronic."
Said friend has taken upon himself to cuss out the assholes booing the QB. At least the assholes in his vicinity in the North end zone. But he has a damn fine point. Booing the shite out of JJ isn't likely to make him play better. Booing the shite out of JL in 2008 didn't make him play better either. Maybe it's time to boo the shite out of the people who keep booing the shite out of our QBs.

As much as I shudder when I think it, and may lightning not strike me as I type it, but this whole LSU football thing was almost more fun, from a community standpoint, when we were "just" going 8-3 every year and happy to make a decent bowl game. It seemed like back in those days, when we were more of the underdog, everyone banded together for the common cause, which was to yell the Tigers to victory. Sure there was bitching, especially after tough losses, but the troops rallied and started looking forward to the next chance to see the Tigers play. The venom that gets spewed now is just out of hand, especially when there have been NO LOSSES.
On Monday at work, I had to listen to a broad tell me how miserable she was at the game watching the Tigers play...A GAME WE WON OVER A TOP 25 TEAM. What have we become? I don't like it. I am glad that I am not allowing others to steal my joy from the Tigers winning games...but it would be much funner if others had the same attitude. Sadly, they don't. Some fanbase we have...

I agree with everything in this entire thread except this. Miles is the laughing stock of every fanbase in America as well as the entire national media.
If anyone booed a kid by me we'd have serious issues. That shite is never acceptable and YES it was directed toward JJ, not the coaches.
