What are your suggestions then with our personnel from the last two years? Orgeron has not had his own recruiting class until this year. Miles was responsible for the last two.

Because most people aren't as severely mentally handicapped as you are.

It’s never O’s fault, huh?

Did he have no input as recruiting coordinator?

I'm convinced he would have survived the season if only he'd beaten Wisky and not had that awful clock management meltdown in the Auburn loss. Clock management issues plagued Les Miles, but I still miss him. Having said that, I'm optimistic for the future.

Okay Tigahs.....beat Notre Dame.

Miles couldn’t or wouldn’t manage the clock, develop a quarterback (he wouldn’t allow anyone else try to develop a quarterback either), change his offense, or salvage a season after a loss.

It is still wait and see on O, but you have to admit that his willingness to address Miles’ deficiencies is a good sign.

Pretty soon, everything will be O’s fault. But for now, I’m trying to give him a fair chance.

Should Saban be ashamed of himself for his first season at Bama? ( Yes I know that Saban is still 50 times better than O.)

You’re kidding, right? We had to lock Orgeron up. Everyone and their momma was coming after him with blank checks to coach their teams.

He's a Yankee, doesn't talk like us, and was too loveable.

recruiting is worse than miles wouldnt have lost to Troy Miles played Alabama tougher


LIE

Miles has recruited dbs when we were loaded at that position, but were short handed at LB. Coaches cant only recruit stars, but they need to manage the roster. You have no proof he wouldn't have lost to Troy, but ok lets agree on that, now I will do the same back at you, Miles would have lost to Auburn. Bama players went on the radio and laughed at Miles game plan, saying we knew everything they were running. (LF7 was likely the most talented RB ever at LSU, but he could only run for 30 yrds against bama. Why is that, because Miles is a idiot)

You do know Les Miles is still unemployed it’s been 2 years now. Not even University of Louisiana Lafayette considered him


Les Miles’ career is over. It was a great career. He was a wonderful coach and an even better man. His integrity and loyalty was awe inspiring. His belief in the fundamental goodness of his fellow man was what separated him from the herd. It’s why his players loved him so much.

Not only was Les Miles a successful coach, he was a role model. The fact that he has not taken another job is explainable by two things.

1. Until next year he would have to work for free.
2. By the time he could actually earn money coaching he would be 65, i.e. retirement age

Now some point out that he has stated that he wants to coach. I haven’t seen his contract, but I’ve been signatory on several contracts with buyouts, and they have all mandated that a good faith effort be exerted to find a job.

It was time for him to go. But those slandering him should remember, “There Is no such thing as a flop” who coached LSU. You should find Les Miles, biggdogg, and give him a great big kiss on the mouth...IF YOU’RE A GIRL.

I’ll repeat it again, but LOUDER...Les Mile is a BUM. The dude is washed up as evident by how many teams showed interest in him, with all the job openings. Not even on interview, LOL!






That "bum" did more good for LSU than you will ever do.
What have you ever done for LSU?
In fact what good have you accomplished ever?

Crawl back into the sewer.

Again, are you basing this on all of his home losses to Auburn?

Miles arguable took the most talented LSU team ever and lost 21-0 to bama.

In a Natty at that, with a Month to prepare.

Miles is and Idiot and that's why no other AD wants to hire him.

So Les Miles running the ball up the middle into a brick wall, punting a million times, and losing 5 times in a row to Bama was a much better showing than what Orgeron has done the last two years?


Les Miles averaged over double the amount of points against Bama in his last 4 losses than Orgeron has, even with his dated offensive philosophy.
