He was? I'm sorry, but none of you jackasses were proven correct. Y'all can bang your chest when O actually wins the sec West. Les did it in his first season. Let's see how long it takes da coach eaux.

Actually, Les was never a good coach from the moment he arrived on campus. He just inherited an already recruited national championship team left for him courtesy of Nick Saban.

Therefore, despite Les’ ineptitude, the team was able to win despite Les, and, of course, this created a false impression of Les in the minds of most people and the recruits. Indeed, the support for LSU and recruiting remained at a high level, because everyone thought Les was a great coach, but he really wasn’t, as LSU was winning because of the high level of talent and despite Les.

In fact, in 2007, when we won the national championship, it was a miracle, because Les had caused us to lose two games that season we never should have lost, even though it was obvious that LSU had the best team in the country that year. It took a miracle for that to happen: Had not Pittsburgh defeated West Virginia, we never would have backed our way into the national championship game that year. Which not even Les could have stopped the team from winning.

So again, the accolades continued the false impression people had of Les and so the recruits kept filing in. Then Les’ patina started to slowly wear off, as he started to gradually lose more and more games we shouldn’t have ever lost and, at the same time, started to make more and more obvious stupid idiotic mistakes.

Then, at the same time, people began to realize that Les wasn’t really as good of a coach as most people had first originally assumed. Not to mention, that Les’ offenses were most of the time characteristically pathetic and unremarkable for their lack of creativity. Until it became so obvious that Les was really a very pathetic coach that thankfully he was fired.

I’m betting that in those eleven years that he was head coach of LSU, that had we had someone that could actually coach, we would easily have won at least one or two more national championships during that same period of time if not more.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate Les as a person and a human being, because I don’t. He’s seems like he would be a fun guy to have a beer with. However, as a football coach, he was pathetic. Which is why no one would touch him with a ten-foot pole when he was trying to find another job this season. Nonetheless, I wish him all the best, even though Les will never hurt for the rest of his life.
