Because fans usually don’t make decisions to hire and fire coaches. Can’t believe this is news to you. He lost the Arizona State game, his first at LSU if not for a bad call that allowed a TD late for us to win that one then he blew a 21-0 halftime lead against a bad Tennessee team with no QB at Tiger Stadium the very next week. We had 0 first downs in the second half until a Hail Mary on the last play of regulation despite a roster that included 4 top 6 picks, with a #1 overall QB, a future HOF left tackle, a multi time All Pro, and 3 other 1st rounders. Those of us who know anything were laughing at him after a game and a half.

As you should have. Just about any other coach has LSU playing for a NC in 2006 and 2007 (and not as a 2 loss team). They should have been in contention in 2005, although USC and Texas starting the year 1 and 2 probably prevents even an undefeated LSU team from being in the BCSNCG that year.

Miles seemed to finally have a lot of things together in 2011, but they 21-0 happened. I'm convinced they only reason he kept his job at LSU so long is so many people at LSU wanted to say "See you can still win at a high level without being a dick like Saban!" He was at LSU for 11.25 seasons and lost at least 2 games every year but 2011. With the talent LSU had over those years that should be criminal.
