Les running Hester up the middle on 4th down 5 times actually shows how unimaginative he was/is. Don't give Les the credit on this. It all goes to Hester. He made a poor coach look good on that night.
Same offensive approach to the overtime game against Kentucky that year. Running Charles Scott up the middle on 4th down and not getting it. Losing to Andre Woodson and Jacob Tamme when they had nothing else compared to our loaded team was inexcusable.

Only small genital morons hate Les, usually those envious of the Humps.

Of all the losses in Les Miles tenure at LSU, to me this was the most forgiveable.
The state had just been hit by 2 huge hurricanes, the school was an evacuation shelter and the team barely had time to practice. Many players had families who lost everything.
Just the fact that they played was pretty remarkable.
And they didn’t lose another regular season game that year and won the SECw. That year may have been one of Les’ best coaching jobs.

The next time O loses a game the same people that say this are going to say I never respected him from the Troy loss. He got lucky with Joe Burrow and Joe Brady. I always knew he would never work at LSU.

Must have been miserable to watch all that winning for those years. Aren't you glad after 11 years you were finally able to say, "see I told you"

FL, Auburn, and South Carolina games in 2007, he played to WIN. But he stopped fully trusting the QB position to win the game after the 2008 season after Perriloux was dismissed from the team and placing all the pressure on Lee as a redshirt Freshman who was not yet ready
Yep. Peopl forget that Les was not always this conservative scared to take chances guy.
Something happened in 2008 with J Lee that broke Les’ brain and he never recovered.
Was a completely different coach after that year.

No doubt Les had tremendous success, but after damn near every game, I always questioned myself “what the hell did I just watch and how in the hell did we win?”
Not the case anymore, the victories are definitely more satisfying.

I never hated Les, and never loved Les. I knew he was in over his head when he wore that Britney Spears looking headset in his first game in TS. Then after JM pulling a win out vs Arizona State, Les acted like he just won the SB.
There are good moments and bad moments, but in the last few years of his tenure, way more bad than good. CFB was starting to change when we hired Les. He didn’t adapt and got left behind.
But we all loved the ‘we are studying spread offenses‘ narrative every summer, right?

Did miles get the most out of the talent he had?

Charles Scott had a monster 1st half and then Les stopped giving it to him. Les’ love for Jacob Hester cost us the Kentucky game in 2007.

Dude, if you weren't fired up and glad he was our coach after that Florida game, then you are some kind of pissy fan. Did you watch that game?
I was glad we won but if you are honest it was luck. Play that game over 10 times and try that, You might win 2 or 3. Maybe.

What about Tyson Jackson’s 15 yard personal foul penalty? To me, that’s when LSU lost momentum.

Most incredible atmosphere for a game that I’ve personally witnessed. And I was in the student section. What a night

I liked Les a lot but he is not for this day and age of football.
Also, I prefer old school harder hitting defensive struggles type football. However, that is not what the rules or expanding the fan base dictates. It dictates more excitement with lots of scoring.
What I most like is winning, and Les was never going to be a winner again, he couldn't even get the players to win any longer. Just look at how thin our team was when Coach O took over the reins.

We were behind the whole time. Nothing great and daring about going for it up the gut repeatedly

He permanently changed his coaching style after Jarrett Lee’s very rough year in 2008. Never took risks again, lost any killer instinct, and always relied on other teams to lose the game instead of us trying to win
As much as Lee threw pick 6s, the defense that year sucked hairy goat nads. He took plenty of risks after 2008 with fake FG's. It wasn't his risk taking. If he wanted to win with defense and ball control he should have recruited better in the trenches instead of signing highly rated skill players to block downfield.
I never loved Les. I thought he consistently wasted talent, made poor staff hires and sat on his recruiting laurels. His quirkiness wasn't an asset and it didn't make him charming. He was goofy.
He held it together longer than I thought he would.

Les do not have the want of change.

LSU won the national championship that year and you are bitch whining about one game. You are worthless.
