You do realize only two coaches have won multiple BCS titles? Consequently they both have contracts is the same range as Les.


FIFY


In other words..That's what a highly compensated coach is EXPECTED to do!

Golfer- I bet TAF money is less than 5% from posters on this site.

What championships did we win?? 1 SEC?? If you are satisfied with losing bowl games, by all means promote your regular season record. When it comes down to it, who gives a frick if you go 12-0 if you never win a championship.

I don't have season tickets.
No need for them.

I've stated numerous times I'd rather watch at my tailgate.... Which LSU is trying their best to frick that up.
Plus my wife is an attorney and her firm has plenty tickets for every game.

Sorry bro.

We'll never win another title under Les. Book it. If you are fine with that then keep pumping that sunshine.


Fine ! I'm fine with that. As long as I see the want to attain the Championship, I'm fine with the final W/L result !

I'm not a NegaTiger, and I enjoy watching Coach Miles and the LSU Tiger football team.

The NegaTigers are going to hurt recruiting, which will be the reason for future losses ! It'll be all their fault.

Support your team and coach, no matter what. I learned this from my Late Grandpa, who was a big fan of Tulane Green Wave football.

So let me get this straight.

One bowl loss to clemson and suddenly you all are calling for miles' head???

Texas would GLADLY change coaches with you in a heartbeat. I could only imagine what the fanbase would do to mack brown and his 8-5, 9-4 seasons.

Some of you spoiled arse fans dont really know how good you have it at LSU. Trying being a longhorn for season and get back to me.

I hope so. Most of our fans suck anyway.

There are plenty of real fans with money. It won't be an issue. Losing sucky fans would be a good thing.

All of that is true. However, I think a win against Clemson would have ended the season on a positive enough note to forget about the close loss to Bama and the shitty loss to Florida. Neither of those losses really sting as much as the Clemson loss in my opinion.

An 11-2 season with a top 10 finish is incrementally better than a 10-3 season finishing as a top 15 team.

We have set a high standard over the past decade, no one wants to see us lose a step.

I've hit mine. Paying the King's ransome for 4 season tickets just so my kids will have one when they get out of college when I really only need 2, and watching an offense that's been out and out painful to stomach since 2007.

And with the idiot in the White House digging deeper in my pockets? First time in years I didn't make a road trip, skipped the Chicken Bowl and after seeing us bumble that away, cemented my decision on the TCU trip. I have limited discretionary income and I'm not spending it on Stud's doughnut eating contests in the press box any longer.

I am not going to anymore LSU games until we play for another natty. That would be the only case. I don't expect that to happen cause Les won't make a change on o. I will save me some money now.

My seats aren't as good as the ones you always seem to have.

Seriously, I'd love to sell 2 for at least the next 3 years (probably more if my oldest doesn't progress towards graduating better than his first semester indicated). Let me know if you hear of someone that's interested (which I'm sure won't be until Monday's bad taste is gone).

All of the above and you don't go to games even though your wife's company has tons to give away?


Somehow the two stories don't mesh.

First you sit around getting hammered at a tailgate and don't go to games because you refuse freebies and then you are a high roller fan.

There's plenty folks waiting in line to buy your seats and any other fair weather fans who dont recognize the value of 10 wins in the SEC west.

The perfect program you seek doesnt exist.
