re: Under what circumstance would Miles supporters find it reasonabl to let Miles go

A losing record, or at least a losing record in the SEC.

Here's some perspective -- we have never won fewer than 8 games under Les Miles. We've only had a losing record in the SEC once under Les (2008).

This "precipitous plunge into mediocrity" that's been rumored on this board since he was hired still has not happened.

Only 3 schools in the SEC had better conference records than LSU did this year. That's not mediocrity -- it's not elite, or "great." But it's better than "mediocre."

We need to start beating the teams we are supposed to beat. Each and every time. That means Arkansas, and Ole Miss. Bama is going to be a tough out every year, but we get them at home every other year, and we don't have Chavis anymore to blow a lead with <1 min to go.

But until we start to lose non-conference games and/or more SEC games than we win, let's stay on the Les train.
