I'm very objective, you just don't like reading the counter argument because it doesn't follow your narrative.

When did I say O struggled? O loss two games which had fans ready to fire Miles (and it happened) so I'm not sure how that is better. In the biggest games of the year LSU looked the same as well. O took over a team that was 2-2 as well but hey...

As I've posted before under interim coaches players seem to always respond in a positive way. Now does it always happen? No, but studies have shown the majority of the time. I'm curious to see what O does because if LSU were to lose 4 games next year then it was a bad hire.
I've said the QB issue fell on the coordinator and QB Coach. Was I happy with the offense, no but was I happy with the result of games, yes. Les made changes when needed and didn't just make a hire to make one, he had transition years (BFP DC/Steele) where he waited and then made a great hire.

Cam and Crowton were both praised by this board and the media. They didn't work out, les's style of offense worked but he needed a QB to complete passes.

I don't mind hearing the counter argument . I've enjoyed the civil discussion. We disagree on somethings and agree on some. I appreciate the banter.

I'd be interested in those studies. I looked for myself and was unable to find. Could you direct me to those?

The only thing I've found shows that interim coaches are not successful, more times than not during the partial season the coach takes over.

LINK according to this post-- "And yes, in case you’re wondering, recent history suggests one of the above is the common outcome in these situations. In 2013, five teams in FBS went the “interim head coach” route, not counting those with an interim coach for just a bowl game. Those five programs went a combined 14-16."
