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.
So when the "right" coach is available, then we go in and say "Hey, Les...we think we have a better coach so hit the road?"
That would do wonders for LSU's credibility !

TigerB8, your post may be the best post I've ever seen on Tiger Rant.
As a fan base, much of the time you are in sort of the same kind of Catch 22 situation that a coaching staff finds itself in all the time. They look at a "'tweener" ballplayer who has ability but lacks maturity in one way or another, and they are torn as to whether to Redshirt him or "burn his Redshirt."
Baptist churches go through this sort of thing all the time. They will lose a pastor and then chose a "pulpit committee" who will go out and search for the next pastor. They will start out "in the George Truett stage." Dr. Truett was the most famous pastor ever in the Convention -- pastor of the huge First Baptist Church of Dallas for about forty years. After a while the committee realizes that Dr. Truett is not available, and so now they are ready to deal with the reality of the situation.
What did Notre Dame do when they lost Rockne, or Leahy, or Parseghian? It would seem that a lot of you younger LSU fans think that no fan base has ever gone through what you have gone through. As Scarlett says at the end of "Gone with the Wind," "Tomorrow is another day." The Sun comes up, just like it always did, and you play with the hand you've been dealt.
After Bear Bryant, Alabama went through Perkins, Curry, Stallings, Franchione, Price, and Shula -- and there sat Saban, ready to make a move. What do you think we Alabama fans did during that interim? Whatever we went through, we went through what you have been going through.

Sorry but Miles is like a multi-decade wife - you file a divorce, they got you by the short hairs and you are flat arse broke.
Too bad if you don't like what they do - you are in it long term

We already passed on that opportunity after Miles lost at FL years ago and Saban wanted out of Miami.
Les ran the table and Saban eventually went to AL where he is looking at his 4th crystal in 5 years with 3 in a Row.

Miles is not a top 10 coach. He a player coach.
I've watched a lot of football over a long period of time, I read a lot, and I have a decent vocabulary, if I do say so myself. But I have to ask, I understand the literal meaning of the words you typed, but what in the everloving frick are you actually trying to say?
Miles drives me crazy at times, no doubt. But if some of you think that he hasn't maintained one of the very best and most consistent programs in the country since he's been here, you're delusional.

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
Just all depends on what your personal standards of excellence for the program are. Some have higher expectations and standards than others.
