Say what you want about Les but he always kept us respectable and never made us a national embarrassment

I see people disagree with this comment and I’m not trying to be a Les apologist but the simple truth is the bottom never fell out with Leslie as it has with Ed. Most programs would kill for the stability of his tenure (And yes I realize we aren’t most programs. He needed to go win he did.)

Really?

Eating grass.
Clocking the ball at Ole Miss.
Losing to Tennessee on Monday night at home after having a 21-point halftime lead.
Being blown out in the National Championship.
Co-Defensive coordinators.
R-Kansas.

How about recruiting Derrius Guice and Drake Davis?

This.

All of you folks who disagree bring up embarrassing on-field issues as if O hasn’t had his share of those as well.

Les didn’t end some of the best streaks in school history, though.

Les had no losing seasons.

Les never presided over a postseason ban.

Didn’t most of the title IX violations happen under his watch?

It didn’t fall out because we stepped in before it could. It was going to fall out in 2016 with him.

Also les managed to embarrass us with clock mismanagement that had never been seen before or since. It specifically cost us twice vs ole miss.

Also don’t forget that OLOL happened under miles watch as did a chunk of the title ix cases.

True. However, Les would never win a National Championship or have the season we had in 2019. There is a reason he went 3 years without a HC offer.

Again, 3 years without a single HC offer, and he resorts to coaching at Kansas. Try again.

“Well golly I’m just happy that he kept us respectable so I can get a little more self esteem from a bunch of college kids running around on a field even though the greatest season ever would’ve never happened in 2019”

I swear some of y’all have the most bizarre mindset. Miles football was BORING. He completely robbed me of my enjoyment of football for almost 5 years with his ridiculous 1971 offense and boring as watching paint dry defense. He took LSU for a ride on his contract and it was unbearable watching him speak.

College football is entertainment and I’ve gotten way more than my money’s worth since Ed O took over, for better and worse. I would never, ever take Miles and his boring bullshite back for 7-8 meaningless wins
