That people want a change at HC. I repeat, it is NOT for just 3 losses.


Again, NOT because of 3 losses.


This is for all you folks on the CCB that obviously do not watch LSU, and look at box scores. Although the box score would hint at some things.


Its 4 years of lackadaisical, unorganized, and uninspired football, combined with a slow decline in performance, and a CONTINUED stagnancy from the offense.


Les Miles is 0-10 when playing as the underdog. He's won MOST of the games he was expected to win, lost a few he was expected to win, and hasn't beat anyone he wasn't supposed to beat.

His win % is obviously skewed because he's been able to coach more games in 11 years at LSU than any coach ever.


So, stop with the fricking "y'all are dumbasses for firing a coach for 3 losses"


Just STFU, GTFO, and GFY. Thanks and God Bless.

Yeah. That's not how this works. He was also the fastest to X wins in numbers of games played. Not in numbers of seasons. But point taken all the same.

Not only do you not know how percentages work, but the idiots who thought this whole thing was just over losing 3 games didn't deserve an explanation to begin with.

Looking forward to watching LSU collapse into Vanderbilt like depths after you fire the coach who only wins 10 games a year on average.

You are right. It is because of 5 losses.

Alabama went 30-2-1 from 1964-1966. They won 2 national championships and 3 SEC titles during that run. From 1967-1970 they went a combined 28-15-2. That includes a combined 14-11 record in the SEC. We got blown out by USC (21-42), Ole Miss (23-48), and Tennessee (0-24) in 1970. We got blown out by Tennessee (14-41) and Auburn (26-49) in 1969. We got blown out by Missouri (10-35) in the Gator Bowl at the end of the 1968 season.

Those were some mediocre seasons that followed one of the best runs Alabama had ever seen up to that time. What if Alabama had fired Bryant after those mediocre seasons like many fans wanted instead of retaining him as history records them doing? We wouldn't have finished out the 70s like we did. From 1971-1979, Alabama finished with a combined record of 97-11. In that total is included 3 national championships and 8 SEC championships.

I'm not trying to equate Les Miles to Bear Bryant but the man shouldn't be fired for entering a slump. He could very well finish 9-3 this year and will be returning a lot of starters in 2016.

Skewed because he won more of those games. You see "coaching" in the games isn't the same as "winning" the game.

He has a higher winning % because he won a higher percentage of his games than anyone.

Yes-I seem to remember a coach over at Alabama who lost sme games he was supposed to win....Homecoming vs ULM, Utah in the sugarbowl, Oklahoma in the sugarbowl...Texas A&M at home-Ole Miss past 2 years and he was favored over Ohio State last year. Also-he was here for 11 years because coaches who win 78% of their games and 2 NC appearances winning one of them...2 SEC titles, develop more players to the NFL even though he loses them early costing him more success, and always have top recruiting classes-well, that what usually happens with them-they stay around for a while-except at LSU of course!!!

I'm not going to argue your oped, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

But that "fact" you try to throw in is simply not true.

LSU was the "underdog" against Alabama in both 2010 and 2011, in the irrelevant Game of the Century, not to mention 2005.

I'm also pretty sure we were underdogs against Ole Miss 2014, South Carolina 2012, Florida 2010, Georgia 2009, Auburn 2008, Tennessee and Arkansas in 2006, and maybe even the bowl games in 2005 and 2008.

And were we favored to beat MSU this year?? Arkansas 2009 was maybe a push??

But hey, by all means continue to revise history to attempt to make your silly little opinion piece seem more "informed"

you should probably get a little more "informed" on how math works and stuff

So you are saying LSU was a favorite @ Alabama in 2011?
