I definitely don't think he is irreplaceable.
But I also think it would be a huge risk.
This is all I've ever said.
It's one thing to suggest you'd want Miles gone (entirely another trying to convince sane people that forcing him out wasn't irrational at best) but it's a HUGE risk replacing any very successful coach. How many times have we seen a successful coach replaced by ANOTHER equally over even more successful one? How many times have we seen a successful coach replaced by a guy that came in and was worse?
The latter has far more examples, and oddly enough, Miles fits in with the former at LSU!
Look...one of you knuckleheads out there with a crystal ball feel free to give it a look and find the that sure thing replacement. You do, I'm on board. I really like Les Miles and I've enjoyed his time as LSU's Head Coach...but if you could guarantee me that if he's replaced we go on a BAMA run, then I'd be first in line to shake his hand, thank him for his time in Baton Rouge, and pat him on his arse on the way out.
Without a sure thing, making a change because some are butt-hurt is crazy. You make a change for two reasons: 1) Your coach leaves and you have to. 2) Your program is losing or is in so obvious a state that you're forced to make a move. Florida got EXTREMELY lucky when they replaced an under-performing Ron Zook with Urban Meyer. They were the exception...

again, a large majority of the criticism he gets is because of his zany demeanor. if he didn't present himself as such a doofus so often, people wouldn't give him so much crap. that being said he would still be criticized by a high number of fans because we aren't winning as many games as you know who.
i have never been a miles fan but i am an lsu fan so i will continue to offer what support i can while he is in charge, but my biggest concern is if he does indeed go, who do you replace him with? there really isn't an ideal, realistic option out there right now. maybe next year or the year after the timing will be right. i'd rather continue to roll with les then end up with fricking bo pelini or whoever the frick was being rumored as a candidate during the last michigan flirtation.
