If it was your decision to make...

Fire Les Miles, hire Tommy Tuberville.

Me personally I'd vote for #3, with a long term contract extension and possibly a bigger buyout to prevent teams like Michigan from stealing him away from you...................but hey, that's just me.

Keep Miles, hire a good young OC with complete control over the offense and keep him until he goes to coach elsewhere. Miles should let the guys below him do the work, and just stay head coach and build up a resume

fire les miles and hire mangino or weiss...we wouldn't have to pay them, just give them free gift cards to local restaurants...

I believe we've seen enough to understand Miles' competency level. I think he's peaked at LSU and we are LIKELY to see more of the same (2-3-4 losses per year). I don't see him beating the top shelf coaches in our conference. Instead, the occasional upset like he had in OSU.

Add to that the public relation nightmare at Ole Miss, that we are supposedly changing much of the staff anyway, why not make the move now?

Bring in the cat from Cincy, show him the kingdom, and tell him to kick arse and take names.

When Arkansas beat us last year, do you believe their fans gave a crap how they ended up with Petrino?

i would fire Les Miles and hire Butch Davis. I would not hire Patterson or Kelly because I don't think a coach from the Mountain West or the Big East is what we need at LSU. We need a big time guy who can handle the pressure and the expectations.

(1) John Gruden/Pete Carrol/Steve Spurrier/pay the bucks, we cannot afford not to.
First time to join in,
just got signed up


I am a long time STH(season ticket holder) and went to LSU and that does I believe give me the right to an opinion. Les Miles is a good man, a good college football CEO, a good recruiter, but a terrible game day coach. I have watched games get mismanaged for 2 years now and get away from us in an instant. There seems to be very little strategy and basically he puts our guys against their guys and hope ours are better. I won’t say his name, because people are saying get over it, but the former LSU coach in many cases took inferior talent and constructed his game plan to where in most cases LSU could compete and in a lot of cases win over superior talent. Les can’t seem to take superior talent and in a lot of cases win out over inferior talent, much less put some inferior team away. Bear Bryant once said “the way to stay head coach at a major school is to win all the games you’re supposed too and at least one per season you’re not supposed too”. Here is what I see, the offense has struggled all year, two reasons I see for that. 1. We run the same 10 or 11 plays we were running at the beginning of the season with no variation. My son and I can tell you what play they are going to run when they line up. You know opposing D coaches can figure it out. 2. We run the clock down to the last second before snapping the ball, which always means we are snapping on the first hard count. Other D’s have figured that out to so they know they can come full force on the first hard count which puts our O line at a bad dis-advantage against inferior opponents. That little first jump gives D lines a clear advantage and JJ is running for his life. This is basic coaching, you got to keep the other guys off balance, and we have yet to do that. I won’t even talk about running the option to the short side of the field. I think in general what we're all talking about happen to Florida a few years back, great program mgr, great recruiter, bad game day coach. They fixed it with Urban Myer, and I gotta say, it has worked out pretty good for them. I heard Les say a few weeks ago, his goal was to end up in the top 5 every year, I wonder if that’s Urban Myers goal, or Nick Saban’s goal. If we (LSU) don’t get this fixed now, this could revert to another 15 year slump like before that coach whose name I won’t mention.

I'd choose number one.

The potential replacements would be:
1. Jack Del Rio




2. Bob Stoops
3. Bobby Petrino

#1 I would fire Miles and replace him with either Derek Dooley, Gary Patterson, or Bill Cowher
