Does Les Miles owe the fans an explanation?

I really think he needs to come out with a statement or have a press conference and give the fans who have spent countless dollars, invested many hours in following this team, an explanation on the horrific performance on Monday night.

If the game would have been close, could have gone either way type of deal.....it happens.....but to have to watch that debacle, I just think we are owed something.

How about a top-tier team, SEC Championship, SEC West Championship, 13 wins this season? He has been our most successful coach. Even prior to this season.

frick yeah he does. Especially the players because they put in the hours for this season and threw it all away by being so fricking stubborn

I mean I'd like to know his reasoning for the shite show we saw. But I'd rather hear about him addressing the players that he recruited and now potentially losing.

Ok, and that was great, but give us something.....that game was absolute misery to this fanbase and all he can do is come out with some buffoonish nonsense?

No.

He is the head coach, the buck stops with him. He may owe an explanation to the players if he made questionable decisions that they weren't expecting, but not the fans.

If fans don't like it, then don't contribute money to the program (i.e. tickets, TAF donations, LSU salsa bowls, etc.)

He needs to admit that his reasons are not related to pure performance and confidence issues with regards to Lee. That is a sieve of an excuse, it does not hold water.

Hell, just holding this crap in hurts the morale of the team, the morale of the fanbase, and I'm sure donations will suffer as a result as well.

It won't make any sense. He simply does not see our personnel the way a lot of the fans do. I believe that he believes what he called was right.

No! Get real. Has this ever happened in sports? He doesn't have to apologize. If you don't like it then don't buy tickets and stop spending money.

His track record of quotes should answer that one

I think it would be better to come out with a course of action on the offensive side of the ball. A viable OC that Kragthorpe would approve of perhaps?

I just don't know how that could be, we had 92 frigging yards. Didn't even hit the century mark........The only other performance I can compare this to is 2009 Florida.

Hell no. I agree he owes the players something but not fans. You don't like it, don't pay to watch his team play. Simple solution.

Absolutey it has......coaches do this all the time.

I would feel better hearing a coaches actual feelings ala Jim Mora than hearing incoherent drivel.
