10-3 wasn't the reason he was almost fired. He was almost fired because of LSU's inept offense and his refusal to change

and this

Daniel Carlson kicked six field goals and Auburn beat No. 18 LSU 18-13 on Saturday night after officials ruled Danny Etling's apparent last-gasp scoring pass came after time expired.

People were bringing up every time another college or pro coach had a play or game clock f-up. Problem was that it happened but it was infrequent and didn't happen to that coach again.

Clocks are Les Miles biggest adversary. It had come to be expected rather than a shocking event if it did happen. The snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against Auburn was the final straw.

Honestly...then that's even sillier. So, he was winning enough, but not in a way that we liked...?

No...he was fired because his offense was lacking AND AS A RESULT most felt that we could be doing EVEN BETTER if he either upgraded or was replaced by someone who would run a more potent offense. But make no mistake, he was let go because he wasn't winning enough...with the BAMA game being the most obvious issue.

Our current O is averaging passing for fewer yds. and scoring fewer points in SEC games than our 2015 O did.
