I really think he needs to come out with a statement or have a press conference and give the fans who have spent countless dollars, invested many hours in following this team, an explanation on the horrific performance on Monday night.

If the game would have been close, could have gone either way type of deal.....it happens.....but to have to watch that debacle, I just think we are owed something.

How about a top-tier team, SEC Championship, SEC West Championship, 13 wins this season? He has been our most successful coach. Even prior to this season.

I mean I'd like to know his reasoning for the shite show we saw. But I'd rather hear about him addressing the players that he recruited and now potentially losing.

No.

He is the head coach, the buck stops with him. He may owe an explanation to the players if he made questionable decisions that they weren't expecting, but not the fans.

If fans don't like it, then don't contribute money to the program (i.e. tickets, TAF donations, LSU salsa bowls, etc.)

He needs to admit that his reasons are not related to pure performance and confidence issues with regards to Lee. That is a sieve of an excuse, it does not hold water.

It won't make any sense. He simply does not see our personnel the way a lot of the fans do. I believe that he believes what he called was right.

Hell no. I agree he owes the players something but not fans. You don't like it, don't pay to watch his team play. Simple solution.

I'm fairly certain he owes me approximately $10K for costs incurred traveling to and attending an alleged national championship game which never actually transpired.

He "owes" nothing. There may need to be a call made to speak for damage control purposes and recruiting. I think he probably owes the players some explanations, though.

YES. Only because what was going on in that game. He seemed like he didn't care that what was NOT working didn't seem to have an answer. Did the guys in the booth even radio him with somekind of distress signal that a change might be a good thing?????

Yes. I want to try to understand what he was thinking and what was going on with this great LSU team on Monday.

Coaches never "owe" fans an explanation.

However, a coach has to be pretty astute about social dynamic. This shite is going to bleed into recruiting if it is never explained.

But let me be frank. I don't think he has an explanation that would be well received which is the REAL problem. The REAL problem is I think the PLAYERS think his actions were shite.

What is Les gonna say? An explanation would be wasting his and our time. You already know what he is gonna say. We did our best and will be better next time? As far as JJ no coach has ever loved a player more than Miles loved JJ. We already know this. He is finally gone. Let it go. Thank goodness for some new blood at QB.

He doesn't owe the fans anything. But a statement (if it was coherent) would do wonders for his current perception
