Just streamed several minutes earlier Mike from TigerBait told his listeners that a former LSU player told him that Les Miles practices were too hard, and that he was going to quite if Miles was not fired. Mike also noted that O is the opposite, he doesn’t push LSU players hard enough in practices, implying we’re seeing the results.

Mike noted there are a bunch of coaches out there that are on Woodward’s list, and that he is lining up everything right now. And noted that Jimmy Sexton is the one putting Lane Kiffens name out there hoping to get a raise, but he doesn’t believe LSU wants him.

Also that there are two camps around LSU, one that believes O will be fired after Ole Miss, and another that believes O will finish the season before getting fired.

Mike also noted that this is going to get dicey for LSU’s next coach with committed recruits who are going to be mid term grads.. Noting that Fla is already making headway with Quincy Wiiggins who was a big lean LSU.

You will lose recruits when you fire the coach. And in some cases, it won’t be the recruit’s choice.

The first class that comes in a week or two after the season is over probably will take a hit but if you make the right hire, the first full class will be a smash.

Players hate practice! Older folks think younger folks have it too easy! More at 11.

This is how Mike S has stayed at the top of the game for so many years, with hard hitting stories like this.

If by too soft you mean players telling you if they’re gonna be at practice or not, yeah. LOL

The new coach must come in with an iron fist and make an example of the most egregious offender

NIL be damned

Miles had a reputation for some pretty brutal practices. That being said, rarely did you see a Miles team getting pushed around . You may have botched about the style, but more often than not that would also lead to LSU being a tough out if you got to the 4th quarter and the game was within a touchdown. Miles' teams more often than not could wear down opponents and lead to victories . You rarely saw them outmanned.

So the nfl is full of LSU players who were NOT developed? Get real

One's too hard the other one's too easy. Typical of today's whining youth.
I wish they would just get off my lawn.

O ran the team into the ground in fall camp and had 25 guys missing to start the season. I guess he needs to have soft practices after that.

That is not exactly what was said on the show. What Mike said was that he had talked with a player from Mies' team yesterday who said that Miles practices were brutal and that players left early for the NFL to save themselves.

MIKE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT PLYERS QUITTING IF MILES WASN'T FIRED! GO WATCH THE SHOW ON YOUTUBE!

Sexton doesn’t need to pump Kiffin. This board has been doing it for a year.

I am convinced that this past off season, other teams were weight training, running and doing conditioning drills.

LSU was eating hot dogs and ice cream while playing video games.

There was another thread yesterday that questioned why we are losing the battle in the trenches to smaller/less talented teams & THIS is the answer. Has nothing to do with strength & conditioning.

Recruiting is vitally important for the long-term health of the program. And, with the new early signing period, it's equally important to get a permanent coach in place as soon after the Texas A&M game as possible.

However, getting the right coach that can fix the culture in the locker room, envision the future of the program, and build a solid foundation that will last is more important than one recruiting class. Always has been; always will be.

GEAUX TIGERS!

Miles’ practices were half the time players and coaches goofing around. Practice took fricking forever
