No doubt he's right.

I think people are just frustrated with the offense, and the inability to beat Alabama.

Les wouldn't go 110-32 if you start counting from this week forward.

It would obviously be hard to top that overall record, but I think they could get someone who could challenge for more divisional titles, etc., because they would be willing to take more chances and max out on the talent at LSU rather than sticking to a formula that works against a good amount of teams, but struggles against ones with comparable talent.

Also, what Les did and what Les is doing now are two different things. I think there are a good number of coaches that could meet and exceed what Miles has been doing the last three years.

People are frustrated with the offense, but now the D and special teams are bad too. And when Miles looks calm as can be on the sidelines when we're committing stupid penalties and messing up plays, I don't think it helps his cause at all. People want to see some fire or a real desire for change, but Les isn't really giving off that impression.

True, but it goes much deeper than that for me. Watching LSU play anybody is painful. I guess I like to see a well coached team 100% of the time. I don't mind getting beat by the better team, IF my team executed and simply got beat. Watching the team fail to execute and sputter for years is not entertaining. They also lack discipline. The reasons are numerous. Its just not a well coached team. Period.

I think they're frustrated with their home lives and expect perfection in their vicarious life to make up for it.

People should be less frustrated with the Offense, which actually made some pretty good strides this year, despite having a first time starting QB a few new faces on the offensive line, a walk-on fullback, and a bunch of WRs who couldn't hold on to the ball last year(although they are talented)


Defense (and special teams) should be much more concerning. There were times against Arky and Ole Miss where our Offense got us back in the game and then the defense gives up a long drive for the opponent to stretch the lead back to 2 scores.

I'd settle for just beating Arkansas
