re: "I hope LSU returns to perennial mediocrity or worse, if they run him off"

It gets to a point where it's not about wins and losses anymore. Les's approach to offense absolutely sucks the joy out of watching LSU operate (on offense). Combine that with stubbornness and other blunders and it pretty much can zap fans' enthusiasm. Football should be more fun than this.

You just want to see things open up some. It doesn't have to be that hard, but for Miles it is.

Also, anyone who thinks Miles can return to his old winning ways is overlooking something important. Miles's teams rely on special teams and defense to win games--offense is an ancillary part. How does that formula work without elite defensive and special teams coordinators? What you see is the future of LSU football without those 2 key parts.
