Something definitely happened in the locker room at halftime. "
I've always believed this or some version of it. Les rode the horse straight into the dirt and then spent the 2nd half beating the hell out of it. It was unreal watching it all play out live and seeing Les do...........nothing. Nothing at all.

Pull up Lee against Bama, that should answer your question.

There has been hints here and there about it. Can't remember were I heard it but something did happen. A lot of players wanting lee to start the second half. Les got pissed and benched t-bob. He said he was the coach and that was it. I was pissed when I noticed miles on the sidelines and he didn't care if they lost. Didn't even try to coach.
Coach o got his championship and checked out. But at least he had some passion.
Just glad we have a coach that actually coaches and doesn't just let the coordinators do everything.

OP either has mental issues or starved for attention.
Why the fricking frick would you dredge all this negative crap up a few days before the season starts?

Id say the program is in a much different place at the moment for you to cry like a baby over this thread

I've said this for years---but Les would never have been mentally flexible enough to do it...
Mettenberger in at QB, run 4 wideouts, look who LSU had, OBJ, Juice, Reuben Randall, James Wright (all who played in the NFL)
spread the field and throw to whoever was open

Of course they could have. Swapping Lee for JJ was unprecedented and stupid. Les Miles is a clown

Absolute coaching malpractice, on display for the entire world to see.
That game was lost the second Alabama was named the second team in the game. In many ways, LSU was lucky to win the first game that year. It took Alabama missing several FGs, combined with a remarkable interception at the goal line on what would have set Alabama up for a TD to allow LSU to win in OT. Yet, Les's hubris would not allow him to accept that fact. Or the fact his offense was getting worse as the season went on. Saban adjusted his game plan. Les stupidly figured he could do the exact same thing and get the exact same result.

maybe so, but we'll NEVER KNOW, because Les didn't try anything to light a spark.
It's the last game of the season for the national championship. Time to try anything and everything, because what we were doing WASN'T WORKING.
But no, Les just drove the plane straight into the ground, without changing a thing.
I agree 100%. How a coach could just sit there and watch the plane fly into the mountain without doing anything to try to change course is mind blowing. Particularly considering he DID make a QB change in the first game that likely gave LSU the win.
However, maybe that was the reason he didn't sub in Lee. Never before or since have I seen a QB more skiddish and scared shitless than Jarrett Lee. That was the case literally from his first game at LSU until his last.
Lee was terrified of Alabama. That's why he was awful in that game. The final straw was a play where he had to pick up a low snap and literally panicked. While flinching, he just threw the ball downfield as quick as possible so he wouldn't get hit (no one was around him)...right into the waiting arms of an Alabama player.
So in the end, I doubt Lee makes any difference whatsoever. In fact, it's more likely he makes things worse. But at least we as fans could say Les tried something to make a difference.

People forget that mettinberger was sitting on the bench. I truly believe he would have changed that game.

Mettenberger should’ve been given an opportunity to compete for the job from the get go. The reason he wasn’t is because Miles obsession with JJ who wasn’t a good QB and should’ve been thrown off the team prior to the season anyway. Having Lee and Mett is a huge upgrade from any combination that involved Jefferson.

Not subbing in because it would have been to hard to comeback. If Lee started that would be the only chance and it still would be hard. The only way Jefferson had success in the 9-6 game was the option and of course Saban/smart shut that down early on 1/9/12 because they had a month to prepare. Only miles couldn’t see that coming. If Lee played the whole game lsu probably still loses and maybe even throws a pick six but I bet they at least cross the 50 put up more than 92 yards and maybe even score a point. I never forgave miles after putting that game plan out there.

Exactly! You can’t run it into the teeth of that Alabama defense.

He was a bad QB
Jarrett Lee was not a bad QB. Without Lee LSU wouldn't have secured victory in early games that year vs strong opponents like Oregon and West Virginia, much less the Florida, Tennessee and Alabama games the prior season, where his clutch passes lead to winning drives.
But Saban and Alabama in 2011 needed a total change in gameplan and perspective by Miles

What was that? LSU stunk up the field in the first half as well. Only a blocked FG by Brockers kept Bama away from a double-digit lead at the break

I was going to just post “I haven’t thought about this game since 2019” because to me 2019 cleansed us of this curse
But I will indulge.
Les lost all of his mojo somewhere during the season.
He committed fully to the run game and the option. He just felt it was “safer”.
Apart from his mad hatter era Les was a wildly conservative coach. Who always let the other team hang around. Remember how many games it just seemed like it was over and we won only to be worried about the final possession? Just ticking off field goals in our side of the field.
A part of this “conservativeness” was Le’s HATED interceptions. He would rather have us scrum down the field and kick a field goal drive after drive. Because if you play this conservative you can’t afford turnovers.
Therefore Lea didn’t play any “passer” style QBs.
That’s why JJ played. He was the better runner.

Naw, despite what the t-rant says Jordan Jefferson was significantly better than Lee. Their passing was comparable but jefferson could also challenge a defense with his legs. Bama was just better that night unfortunately.
