We can do better than Miles. Obviously we can do worse though.
true. or we could get a guy who can also get us 2 or 3 losses a year. Just like Miles. But maybe better management, performances, preparation and management and it may pay off for more championships in the long run.
Also maybe a coach who will not quit on his team (see 1-9) or a coach who will not shite the bed every year for 9 years straight.
No worries, though the TAMU game was a very good win no doubt, but we all knew the miles nut lickers would be out in full force now telling us the things listed above never happened and will never happen again. You would think we just won the west. That is how desperate they have become defending Miles.
I like how they throw out Muschamp, but do not mention schools that fired or lost coaches who were winners and replaced them with winners, like OSU, UF, UGA and others at certain times.

One of my best friends is a huge Gator fan, and he's beyond disgusted with the total lack of improvement in Gainesville.
We may not be where Bama is right now (name 1 team outside of the NFL that is), but we're not far off either. Unfortunately, some of our upperclassmen are playing like true freshmen this season.
Yesterday showed me Miles still has this team's attention. I hope we destroy Arky and whoever is unlucky enough to face us in a bowl game.

quote:Great post. And yes, I do hear what you are saying. And if this well-prepared, good game planned, well-executing LSU team and coaching staff shows up every game from now on, I will have nothing to say but words of praise. Yesterday's game just shows what LSU can do, could have done, and maybe will yet do.
look at Florida today. Lost to a FCS team at home, 4-7 and going to be slaughtered by Florida St.
"But... it can't happen to us! We're LSU..."
Well, we're LSU, but then again, they're Florida. Their record for the last decade was right there with ours, and before Meyer left, was home to yet another coach we thought was better than ours. A program that, like ours, people say anyone can come in and win. Only now, they're about to turn into Tennessee 2.0 if they aren't careful.
Hate mistakes in games? Frustrated with losses? Angry that Alabama has currently pulled ahead of us? Great, that means you care- like we all do. But even when we're not great, we're still damn good, and there's a lot of positives coming out of this game (I think our defense finally arrived, and will be "LSU caliber" again next season).
Unless you get a promise from Sean Payton to come up the river to coach, don't be so quick to toss Miles out. It could be a LOT worse.
Great game today, best of the year overall- considering the opponent. Still some mistakes, but hey, we kicked arse.
I'm happy today.

Yep, they will never live down the fact Saban is at Bama, and still want to believe someway/somehow he will return to coach the Tigers.

Les is now 22-1 after a loss. Not too bad IMHO. Think of the top tier schools have gone through coaching changes since Les has been at LSU.
Florida
Notre Dame
Alabama
USC(Twice)
Ohio State
Oregon
Stanford
Auburn
Tennessee
How many of these schools would swap places with us for the last 9 years of success we have had.

You are such a butthurt Miles hating bitch. I bet you're more mad today than A&M fans.

I think anyone that wants Les fired isn't thinking it through or just needs to cool down a bit. This is the same situation UGA is in. A coach that wins 10 games a year and chokes on a couple a year that he shouldn't. No school is really going to fire a guy for winning 9-10 games a year unless there's a guaranteed/known winner available. So, considering the pool of known coaches that can do better consists of about 1 guy...not likely to happen. The other option is taking a chance on unproven candidates, and that's not going to happen. No Athletic dept wants to have fired a 9-10 win coach and have an unproven commodity fail and bring the program back to square 1.

LSU isn't firing Miles even if we want them too, so it's a moot point. No one is paying Mr. Quality $15 million to go away.
Could we do better? Hell yes, a lot better. Les is the epitome of 'the just get 'er done' mentality...win ugly, get 10, never excel above the just better than average, coast to victory, pick your phrase. Would it be hard to get someone better? Maybe, it would take a young up and comer to transform LSU into a national power again.
Could we do worse? Yes, we could. It would be taking a chance unless there was a sure bet out there. But every criticism of Miles (and there are many valid criticisms) isn't a call for him "to be fired". We can wish we had a better coach, but we won't get one. That doesn't mean every time we get frustrated with his boneheaded mistakes and voice our frustration, that it translates into fire the coach immediately.

So many people say this, then never offer up a single name. So who, besides Saban, can you guarantee to do better?

The numbers don't lie, and Les is the best man for the LSU job ever.

It would be nice to do better than Miles though. The key is to wait until the right coach is available instead of firing him at an inopportune time.
This. I think we all know we could do better, but there just isn't a coach I can think of right now that I'd want to replace him with. Until then, you just don't fire the guy without just cause, and there's no just cause as of yet.

Oh I'm sure he is. I just love the fact that as long as Les is the coach of LSU, he and people like him will be miserable all the time. Their tears taste the sweetest.Posted on 11/24/13 at 9:43 am to Fat Bastard

Not only will you never be happy with LSU football in the long term, but you can't even be happy with LSU football 30 minutes after a 24-point win over a ranked opponent led by a Heisman-winning quarterback in a nationally-televised broadcast that depicted LSU controlling the ball for two thirds of the game, turning the ball over zero times, and beating the spread by 20.5.
No worries, though the TAMU game was a very good win no doubt,
You hate that LSU won, and you hate that we're enjoying it, and most of all, you hate that Les Miles was shown on national tv doing a great job coaching LSU football yesterday.
You're a sad, pathetic sidewalk nega-tiger, and you're the worst I've ever seen. Please, on behalf of Tiger fans far and wide, pick another team.

Funny, in spite of our disappointments, I'm pretty sure that LSU is considered to be a "national power".
So, let's look around the country and list those programs that are and have been consistently performing at a higher level than LSU for the last ten years:
1. Alabama
2. .. . . uh, hmmm . . .
A couple of years ago, a crappy quarterback situation (all options at that position were problematic) cost Miles his second NC, and that's tough. But, the next couple of years promise to be pretty exciting.

You can't even say that about Bama because they have the 2 years before Saban got there too
