I know everybody is pissed off around here and all, but serious question: How will all of this coaching business, especially now with Pelini gone, affect the team? It seems to me that it's definitely in both Miles' and Pelini's interest to kick some major league arse in the SECCG tomorrow. For Pelini to jump start recruiting for Nebraska, for Miles to jumpt start recruiting for either Michigan or LSU. It's HUGE whether Miles leaves or not. Plus he's an emotional guy. He loves his players. He wants them to win desperately. Both he and Pelini (I can't call him "Bo") have an extremely high incentive to get the team focused and ready to play the game of their lives. But how will the players respond to all of this? Win one for the coaches? Or screw the coaches?

We're all rooting hard for LSU and a big blow out up here.

I personally think we'll beat the crap out of 'em. But no doubt this has been a distraction for the team. Can't imagine that it hasn't been. But I don't see this group mailing it in. They take pride in taking the field and wearing that uniform.

They play for LSU not Miles or Pellini.

Unless Tennessee finds a gear they haven't shown all year LSU will win.

I like Les and wished he would stay. LSU will be OK if he leaves. He would be a good fit at Michigan as well.

Many LSU fans never gave Les a chance and think he is stupid. I disagree. Les will never "be the man here". I am glad for him he is leaving. (Not glad for LSU) he did an outstanding job at LSU.

Honestly, I don't think many people are "pissed" that Miles is going to Michigan (dream job) or Pelini is going to Nebraska (HC opportunity). Those that are "pissed" are "pissed" because WE HAVE ALREADY WITNESSED HOW THE TEAM WILL BE AFFECTED. The team was UNPREPARED, or UNDER-PREPARED in the last half of the season. IT'S NO BIG MYSTERY ANY LONGER... THEY WERE NOT THE FOCUS OF THEIR HC AND DC. Sucks for us, but we will be back in the hunt in the coming years.
