Outsider opinions don't matter.

People like finebaum and kornholer have their opinions about the way les miles is wanted out, but here are the main talking points I hear:

1) But Les Miles won a national championship and he has one of the highest winning percentages

2) Les Miles is an unbelievable recruiter

3) LSU was #2 a little over 2 weeks ago and now that they've lost 3 games in a row and the fanbase is overreacting

To answer to this, Les Miles' win percentage is falling and will continue to fall. He won a national title in 2007. If Les is such a good recruiter than why is our defense so depleted and our offensive line getting pummeled. And rankings don't mean a damn thing. If I get to #1 by beating up cupcakes and then fall out of the top 25 playing the meat of my schedule then that ranking meant frick all.

The problem with national talking heads is they don't know what's really going on because they don't get the whole picture. They aren't fans of LSU and they don't watch even 5% of all plays total that LSU has in a year.

For years, this is what actual fans have seen:
1) obscene amounts of holding, false start, and delay of game penalties
2) the most ineffective pro style offensive performance to talent ratio you'll see anywhere
3) clock management blunders galore
4) awful assistant coach hires that not only fail, but get rehired (Peveto)
5) teams that get progressively worse as the year goes on (this trend largely started in 2012)
6) the inability to put teams away

I can go on and on. The bottom line is that talking heads are just not qualified because they don't keep up with the program closely. All they do is read from a stat sheet and act like someone's performance can't possibly change over time.
