Les’ time was definitely up, but there’s no denying he loved being the head coach of the Tigers.

I only wish he could have made it work long enough to pass Charlie Mac. But he’s still an LSU legend.

Hopefully Orgeron keeps it going long enough to pass them all.

I was happy we lost that game because I knew that was the final nail in the coffin for Miles. He should’ve never made it to that season in the first place. But hey, everything happens for a reason and I’m completely ok with those couple of shitshow years because it led to having the best team and season of all time and a national championship last season.

Watching that happen, loving and admiring Les, and knowing it was past time that happened, was hard for everyone. It was time and I was sad. I’m looking forward to the great night in Tiger Stadium when we retire his hat, and officially welcome him home.

Les is a fantastic person. Coach, not so much. I would love to have him around someday as an assistant AD or Director of Personnel.

I don't recall LSU firing Miles the night of the game. I thought he met with Alleva Sunday morning and was informed at that time.
Perhaps he knew in advance that it was coming. After all, he narrowly survived 2015 and had to know his leash was short.
I'm not very impressed with Josh. He states opinions and many of them state the obvious.

Losing at Lambeau made my trip home slightly easier knowing he was now truly done. That smug bastard was finally done what a great trip that was.

I’m not sure he ever had it all between the ears. I saw him from inside the program and out. Sure he played up his persona to the media more but I watched him talk to players and other coaches and he just didn’t seem to be a great football mind. I had a few friends on his staff and some even played for him and they all kinda questioned his meetings, discussions, etc.

With talent he could do pretty well but he always found a way to screw up. He lost to Kentucky and Arkansas in 2007 when he had no reason to. In 2011 he took the best team we had seen in years and threw it away by getting more and more conservative each week after October.

He was a good guy and people liked him. But he wasn’t right for LSU. He didn’t know how to take his success in 2007 that fell in his lap and sustain it.

IMO Les Miles will always have a special place in the hearts of TigerNation fans. I hated to see him go. But I agree with those who say, he just could not change. His offensive scheme was just so predictable, it was heartbreaking.

Les just could not adapt. Having said that I hope one day he can come back and receive a warm welcome from Tiger fans in Tiger Stadium.

I continue to pull for his success at Kansas.

Geaux JayHawks!
