People don't pay attention to this shite for very long. Saban was called a liar for a year and then he started winning and they all kiss his arse. LSU just needs to hope it all works out or they will really catch hell.

Alleva hasn't done anything but say it'll be evaluated at the end of the season. What's he supposed to say "we are behind Miles 100% and he won't be fired" or "yeah sure, we canning his @ss after the A&M game". Either way he's stuck

He didn't start the rumor mill and didn't inflame it. No win situation for him and if that can't be seen I can't help your gray matter any.

I think they should have axed him after the Ole Miss game, if not a long time ago, but letting him finish the season does show a little bit of appreciation. Time for Miles to go. Do it and move on.

Penn State's "brand" took a beating for a lot worse and they seem to have recovered. Don't forget IF in fact Miles is fired. He gets 15 million. How can anyone really feel sorry for him, plus he is still very marketable, unlike Mack Brown or Houston Nutt.

Quote from the article:

Miles is an excellent football coach.


Tells you all you need to know about the worth of that article. Hardly anybody across America actually believes that.

No matter what plays out (Les goes or stays) some will take their shots at LSU

With change come the potential to be great

With no change comes complacency and the ceiling is known.

There is the risk of becoming worse with change.

The risk benefit ratio favors a change IMO. The media is not sure how to handle this because our administration is being proactive in an unprecedented way.

The same brand Miles has made a name across the country over eleven years. That is what we get for listening to the bad fans. I graduated from LSU and blame our fans more than administration. Bet the same ones complaining just win at life no matter where they go.

I would love to square up and punch Paul Finebaum right in the nose. That guy has ZERO credibility being on ESPN.

Just read this USA Today article blasting us for the treatment of a legendary coach. Mostly for shamefully letting him twist in the wind.

ESPN is blasting us mercilessly. Yahoo, Fox Sports, anybody with a microphone or an Internet outlet is killing us.

I'm embarrassed. The more this goes on, I think it's time to take this to Alleva's door. He doesn't appear to have our best interests at heart. I think what has been holding us back more than anything Les did is Joe's treatment of Chief, his inability financially support and manage coordinator hires, and his lack of foresight to how doing what he's doing right now would play out.

I'm pretty disappointed in him. It's starting to look to me that we could go a lot farther


Who gives a shite. Team branding and loyalty to the brand are completely regional. It's why Robert Kraft doesn't give any fricks about being called a cheat in the national media. That sort of shite galvanizes local fans and actually gives the fans an "us against the world" mentality. That translates into more merchandise sales to the fans. Like Les said, "it is and always will be about the team and not one person."

LSU also takes a beating when it loses games that it shouldn't because of poor in-game adjustments or clock management.

All that BS is fleeting. They'll forget about it when a decision is made an move on to the next thing.

This talk be going on for years and will effect LSU for years to come. Get use to it. We reap what we sew with our self-entitlement fan base that got our booster's panties in a wod thinking they should do something asap. Just couldn't leave it alone after we loss to bama. Well here we go, embrace the 1990's again, we deserve it.

Show me a firing of a legendary coach that went well? Mac Brown, Paterno, Bowden, etc?

this is the same media that will skewer LSU for being overrated, lacking a qb, lacking offensive imagination, etc. but now they want LSU to keep its mediocre coach?

Don't pay attention to the media. They are just unnecessary clutter.

The media was negative towards Alabama back when Shula was going out and the replacement search process was ongoing.

Alleva is the worst AD we've ever had. He must be fired tomorrow.

Les is Les. We can't be angry at him for the man just a being who he is.

The AD is making us look like crap for the handling of this.
