Miles was never a good coach. He was the beneficiary of good timing. He is Larry Coker

Nice troll.

We didn't beat Saban twice in one year, that's Les Miles's crime.

It’s more than that. We didn’t even make a game of it in the NC game. The team looked completely unprepared to play. Add to it that since then Alabama has become perfectly built to completely shut down what Miles wants to do on offense...and Miles obviously won’t do anything else. Most lost faith that Miles could beat Bama ever again. Unfortunately, they’re the gate keepers if you’re in the SEC west.

OP is an obvious, bad troll.

Miles was not a 9-3 coach in the end. No guarantee he beats Troy. Did NOT play Alabama “tougher”; he played them more predictably.

It was time for Miles to go, Orgeron was a bad hire but he may turn out great, he turned the season around, we saw improvements each week, recruiting addressed needs and was still damned good all around, give him a chance, etc., etc.

How many times must all of this be said??

I mean, are you embarrassed by your stupidity? I guess not, since you so openly display it.

While true, it was more than that. He had a great run, but over his last 2 and 1/3 seasons, he lost to 6 teams that were 8-5 or worse.

Arkansas had beaten LSU in back-to-back years by 17, and if not for what seemed like a miracle drive by Anthony Jennings in 2013 after Mett got hurt, it would have been three losses in a row to the Hogs. Ole Miss blew out LSU by 21 the last time Miles played them and he lost 2 of the last 3 against them. And then LSU lost to an 8-5 Auburn team and started out 2-2 with one of the more talented LSU teams in recent years in his last four games before he was let go. O didn't deserve to be hired based on his resume, but Miles' time seemed to have run its course.

2014: actually lost four.
2015: struggled to only lose three.
2016: fired before he could lose two more, going 2-2. Not a good look.

Miles’s roof was 9-3, fluttering between that and 8-4. Nothing more. It was time to goooooooooooooo.

Fight me at the sonic, m8.

So, he was 9-3 he last full year. As I said, you're stupid.

Actually, his roof was 13-1. I wonder what O's is? I also find it funny that his floor was only one loss more than a season where you're praising O for his performance.

Lowered expectations are such a pathetic thing.

Unfortunately, I think the "cure" that we've chosen is worse than the disease from which we were suffering.

Is it 5 now? The talking point was 3 not too long ago.
