Yes...REALLY. Who knows more about our program...locals who follow it daily or fricking national pundits who drop in to do a piece? Don't we all understand this anytime they either say or write some piece on a guy and they can't even get his damned name right?

So...your thinking here is that LSU would have retained Miles with his exact same record if it had been obtained by virtue of an offense more like Texas Tech's? OK...feel free to think that I guess.

Again...that's idiotic, unless the goal isn't about winning and it's about pure entertainment.

You could make a case that his style LEAD TO a winning percentage that was not good enough, but to say that his numbers were fine...it just wasn't flashy enough is something some supermodel might say about a sports team.

It's idiotic to think that LSU wouldn't have done better record wise if they ran Texas Tech's offense. Miles refusal to adapt the O is why he is gone plain and simple. The clock gaff at the end of the Auburn game didn't help either.

Here was Les himself in 2017 on his phenomenal changes he was anticipating.

quote:

The Tigers at the time of his firing had a sputtering offense that came up short in losses to Wisconsin and Auburn. Miles figured a turnaround would come as quarterback Danny Etling continued to gain experience after the team benched Brandon Harris in the opener, he said.
quote:

"Brandon Harris we felt like was going to continue to develop, and for whatever reason, he did not take the strides that we would have loved to have him take," Miles said. "Danny Etling was going to be the guy. We turned to him."

Miles anticipated the games at Lambeau Field against Wisconsin and on the road at Auburn would be closely contested. After that, "I really felt like we were in great position to continue to evolve."


LSU offense 'always was in position to do well,' Les Miles says in radio

He wasn't going to change a thing. He was relying on Brandon Harris to evolve.

Or maybe he just doesn't know what the word "evolve" means.

Yeah, all of the hundreds of media articles on the subject were all INCORRECT.

But the Rant posters are ALWAYS 100% correct about everything. If they say he was fired for not winning more games then that's it. End of story. Ha Ha ha Ha !!!
