Sorry your tattle telling didn’t create a permanent ban. Guess you’re not as important as you think you are. How about you get lost, the grownups are talking.



Grownups don't lose their minds and go off on tirades that result in a ban just because someone doesn't share their opinion on sports.

You’re right grownups don’t but you sure do. You don’t get banned because people like me don’t run and tattle like a cry baby.

Don't get distracted by trying to pin our current struggles on Miles.

Where we are today rests solely on the shoulders of Joe Alleva.



Miles had a better record? We are NO worse, chicken little

Really nothing, people can look for things to blame him for but he isn't responsible for what is happening right now.

Keeping expectations too high for the administration to live up to

You mean the guy that committed to Clemson who didn’t offer him until Jan last year?

They went after Akers you our recruiting ace new coach missed out and then proceeded to not go after many RBs in this class, so no the 2018 RB is not on Miles


bullshite clown. I know for a fact, from his dad's mouth, that miles didn't do anything to make him feel wanted. He was dreaming of akers....and was also told, by his dad, O did everything he could do to make that up

Of all the things anyone could fault Miles for recruiting running backs was not one. We are about to have one drafted in the first round for the second straight year.

Well it may have helped for Les to have signed one in 2016 unless he planned on Devin White playing RB. Having Fournette and Guice was great. Knowing Guice, Fournette, and Williams would all be gone in 2017 and not signing a single running back in 2016 deserves criticism, regardless of how well he had recruited prior. Didn't have any committed last year either when he was fired. Did he put all his eggs in the Cam Akers basket hoping it would work out or was he just lucky LF and DG were from Nola and BR? Miles dropped the ball big time in the 2016-2017 classes not addressing we might need running backs, especially given his entire offense was reliant on having an elite back

Blind loyalty to Cam Cameron, thus no QB recruiting and a stagnant offense. It’s the Lou Tepper effect.

WEll, mr. smarty pants, he is not at LSU because he never did bring in a QB who could play. I am not counting Mettenberger. Miles's offenses were largely complete and perfect failures inasmuch as he could not beat Alabama enough. The toss dive to Fournette in the opener against Wisky was, so far as I am concerned, a middle finger salute to the LSU football program. I say good riddance to that man.

The fact that he hired Orgeron. If not for that we wouldn't have this mess right now.

Of course not.

Miles has the top 3 ppg offenses in LSU history, and who has beat Bama enough? Definitely not Oneofus, so post back when Zero gets as many wins vs Bama as Miles.

I don't know about lingering effects, but I do like that some of his "effects" disappeared the day he did:
Delay of game penalties
Meerkat offense
Directing the offense to attack the defense's strengths.
Ignoring tight ends.
Accusing receivers and running backs for the QB's poor throws.

Winning enough games to get boosters to pay for a stadium expansion and making Alleva look like a good AD

Miles biggest sin was he just sucked all the joy out of LSU football with his steady de-evolution to 3 yards and a cloud of dust. The hit to the psyche of the program and fanbase during that time was huge. It was embarrassing to wear anything with LSU on it his last 3-4 years. I think that frustration is why you have fans losing their minds over O and not giving anyone new staff a chance. A lot of fans are just beaten down mentally and want someone to wave a magic wand, erase the product of years of decline under Miles instantly, and start competing for BCS titles again. Its gonna take time but they are tired of waiting. Some of this is reaction formation as well. The pumpers sold out so hard for Miles when they were obviously wrong that it relieves their past embarrassment/distress by being irrationally aggressive towards O now.
