I think very few people actually want the man fired. What they do want is some accountability from the man making 4 mil a year.


I'll you straight up that I wouldn't want the guy fired. You don't fire a guy with his record.

BUT, there is no getting around that A LOT of what is being talked about on this board has been echoed far outside the LSU fan base. Moreover, there is no getting around that LSU's primary recruiting ground is LOUISIANA. This means that there is probably a very similar percentage of RECRUITS and RECRUIT PARENTS who saw what happened after Bama 1 and have questions similar those seen in here.

Failure to adequately answer those questions to regular fans is irrelevant. Unfortunately, we don't recruit space aliens. The kids and their parents are part of the same group of folks. Failure to address THEM most certainly CAN have an effect going forward.

The thing is though, if, and it is a big IF, some recruit and his family who looks at one personnel situation at qb to determine if they will go to lsu, it is most likely to be someone on the offensive side of the ball. Mainly at qb and receiver.

I really don't see how this would affect any defensive player's, o line or running backs decisions.

I really think this could be an overreaction to an emotional position about the qb by some. If there is any recruiting effect. It will be minimal. IMO.

Oh and shorty Rob, we have had some arguments on here and I have unfairly called you out some. I apologize and am looking more to discuss issues instead of attack opinions. Unless they are too crazy

I tried to get an intelligible rundown of the presser and instead got 30+ pages of, basically, kids calling each other stupid...

This is the point. It's not the fans that are making Miles look bad. The whole damn country saw that debacle on the 9th and it awoke all the negative voices that had been quieted by a 13-0 season. Les Miles is again the village idiot and there is NO ONE TO BLAME FOR THAT BUT LES. Unfortunately I fear that nothing short of a crystal ball will quiet them again. The feather in Miles hat was the way his teams played in big games. Well......
