Miles has turned LSU into Oklahoma State. A 500 conference team.

There is no reason to expect top 10 teams going forward. I've never seen so much wasted talent the past two years. Never.

Management Rule #2:

"It's not the ones that you fire that get you into trouble. It's the ones that you don't fire."

It seems as if Miles knows this and has already made his move. If he couldn't get the funding to buyout Crowton, he did the next best thing: he kicked him upstairs and brought in the replacement.

When will Crowton be replaced? Watch Gonzales. When he goes to the press box, Crowton is dead.

Disagree. Miles will fired for not releasing Crowton and Stud after last season. You cannot be the the 110 ranked offense, not make any changes to the offensive coaches, and expect to get multiple passes.

Les Miles' inability to replace quality coordinators will cost him his job - just like it cost Dinardo his. Crowton is incidental to the equation other than the fact that he is a serious downgrade from what we had before - therefore, the blame goes to the guy who hired him.

well Dinardo didnt get paid $4M a year so there's no way Miles's will get fired

28-14 is not .500..perhaps instead of working on your "Cleverness Skillz" for the brahs, you should invest in a calculator. And then learn how to use it.

How do you feel about 1-8 the last two years against teams that have won 9 or more games?

pelini was a good hire, but he was hired only because miles was forced not to bring in bill clay

Are you asking what I think about the teams that were on LSU's schedule? How they finished their season?

Les Miles and Crowton have a year to show what they can do.

A defense like '08 or an offense like '09 will either force someone to be fired or Miles will officially be on the hottest of hot seats.

Doesn't matter what "we" think. It matters what happens on the field and if he can change the ugliness of the last two seasons.
