No, his biggest sin (not counting Duke Lacrosse of course ) was not extending Miles after 2011 and our first undefeated SEC title since 1958.

Yes, 1/9 was awful but it didn’t erase the Miles’ second SEC title and NCG appearance in seven seasons.

It had been four years since his last extension at that point, and he deserved it. But as always, Clueless Joe let the fan and media hysteria over 1/9 guide his decision, and left Miles hanging.

So after 2012, another 10-3 (6-2) where all three losses were to top 10 teams and by a TOTAL of 13 points (all one score games) and a game where we appeared to get the best of Alabama, he had no choice but to extend him when Miles’ good friend at Arkansas inquired about his interest in moving on if LSU wasn’t going to offer him the stability he deserved.


So instead of having leverage in the negotiations after 2011 when no one else had approached him and even using the failure of 1/9 to keep the terms reasonable, he ended up having a competing offer and put us on the hook for more money and time than he could have gotten the year before.


Clueless Joe is an absolute joke when it comes to looking down the road and managing PR and this has been proven time and time again.
