re: I really believe we hear from the vocal minority on the O matter

I hope we win every game in 2018. I don’t think we will, but I can hope.
As per O’s approval rating right now, I’d guess it’s at 20% or less. You’d be hard-pressed at the moment to find people that believe this program is headed in the right direction.
He’s the coach, though, and will have 12 opportunities in 2018 to prove us wrong and show the fanbase that we’re on the right track.

I didn't read any of this thread other than the OP and most of 1st page. But Miles wasn't getting the most out of his players due to his offense philosophy and that's what got him fired just as much as his record. If he would hav3e been getting the most out of his players by running a winning type modern offense he would still be here even with some bad losses.

Well if O is "getting the most from his players" then he should be producing better results than Miles, and not basically the same records. If he's not then that means he is failing somewhere else Miles excelled at, or he isn't getting the most out of the players either.

We fired the last guy because his philosophy was rooted in the 70s and he refused to adapt when it mattered. If we showed a breath of life on offense in big games it would have been a completely different story.
bullshite.
if we beat wisky and auburn miles isn't fired. I swear some of you actually believe the optics of an offense outweigh winning and losing.
Posted on 2/12/18 at 12:17 am to boxcar willie
I disagree
I think Les was fired because it was becoming clear he wasn’t going to get us over the jump. That we plateaued at around a 10-3 team give or take.
How you look getting to those Ws and Ls only matters once’s you’ve missed the mark.

you're saying it better to lose pretty than win ugly.
I can't believe you're gonna sit here and say losing would be looked at better if we were a pass 1st team.
that crazy talk.
and again, why was it ok for you to make posts like these during miles' tenure but now we should get behind the coach regardless?

and let's not even bring up that 10 of Miles' 11 seasons had a better offense than 2017 lsu.

It’s just an O talking point to change expectations.
We fired Miles because we wanted someone to get us over the hump. No one saw this as a rebuild.

I disagree with this. Miles was fired because he didn't adapt or change the offensive game plan. It remained predictable and that's what lead to his dismissal.
He was also fired so the program would remain at least (record wise) where he had gotten it to numerous times, not for it to go backwards which is exactly what's happened.

So if this didn't happen under Miles, it sure isn't happening under O. You think O is getting the most out of his players? Look at the Moo State and Troy game last year.
Look at the bowl game. Look at Canada fiasco. Look at the subsequent OC search. Whoops, there wasn't one.
We fired Miles for a lot less than what O currently has done and spare me the "it's his first year" garbage. He said himself there was no rebuilding and now everyone is supposed to just pretend that 9-4 is better than 10-3?

of course it wasn't a rebuild.
it only become a rebuild once O put us out of contention by week 5.
O himself publicly claim that they were going to make the playoffs this past year.
before miles was fired the montra was," we have more talent than any cfb program not named bama and we aren't that far behind Bama."
now it's a rebuild.
when miles was here it was,"miles is the only thing holding lsu back from winning titles."
no they claim there is a lack of talent.
since miles was fired i've seen so many posters do a complete 180 on how they judge or what they deem acceptable by our hc.

imo if we win 11 or 12 games in 2016 no way is miles fired.
people forget our 2015 offense finished above bama, Ohio State,and fsu in points per game and offensive yards per game.

I agree.

It's really as simple as this sentence:
Miles needed to be fired, and Orgeron was not the right person to replace him.
Somehow people seem to have a hard time grasping this. It really blows my mind.

miles needed to go but not to bring in an unqualified guy that's basically a less successful version of Miles.
miles was good recruiter and motivator with questionable game day coaching.
o is a good recruiter and motivator with questionable game day coaching
it blows my mind that Alleva would do that

I thought he was an outstanding recruiter but yes, I agree with the game day coaching. It wasn't every game but sometimes it was a little more tense than need be.
O is a good recruiter when he was focused solely on his needs, what I mean is the DL. And for him to publicly say, "I trust no one's judgement by my own" regarding recruiting is a slap in the face to all his assistants if you asked me. If that's how he feels, then you say that garbage behind closed doors, probably with the same results though.
I just can't figure out why Alleva hired a guy that has never run a successful program. I thought the interim part was something to get optimistic about but I was very mistaken.
You and I have had our little differences about that topic but you were correct there, I was wrong.
I can't believe that this is going at LSU. I thought of this the other day, this is the lowest recruiting class ranking prior to Miles getting hired and even at that, we had already won an SEC championship by 2002 which was the last time we had this current recruiting class ranking, if memory serves.

Yup, and yet we had a Senior QB.
I just don't think I will ever be happy with O. He'd have to win the SEC, which I don't see happening. This is such a waste giving him the keys to this car. I truly hope he is out a year early. (Unless something crazy happens)

I think we get it.. but some regret it because we didn't see Alleva hiring about the one guy who didn't bring anything new to the table. A far inferior Les Miles. A guy who doesn't lock down either side of the ball, isn't an x and o's guy, and now isn't an elite recruiter as HC.
Miles did need to go, but if you told me Alleva was going to just promote in house (save maybe Aranda) I would absolutely NEVER be down for that. I'll never forget the Missouri players that went nuts when they gave their linemen interim coach the full time job.. they were all excited too..
