In all honesty, how many of you were disappointed at the time when

Miles was hired to replace Saban? Have your feelings changed since?
I'll admit that I wasn't excited about the hire, and questioned it, but still was willing to give Miles a chance. I think if he makes the right Asst Coach hires, he can be very successful, but he can't counteract at all his bad hires (see 2008 defense) until potentially a season later.
If I remember correctly, seems like almost everyone was worried that we'd just made a mistake and gone on the cheap.
This isn't to knock Les, but just curious to see how people's views have or haven't changed in 6 years.

Same as everyone else. I hated the hire considering Tech beat him 2 out of 3 times.

If LSU is shelling out $4,000,000 a year, it should get an elite coach. LSU is wasting millions.

definitely an underwhelming hire at the time, but i was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt
my feelings changed throughout his first couple years but have returned to the initial "meh"

Not the same as everyone else. There are plenty of fans who still support Miles.
I was more upset at the time that Saban ditched us for the NFL. But once we hired Les, I supported him.

I was PROFOUNDLY disappointed!
I could not believe, our AD could make such a choice.
It is not personal, it is just not a good fit for LSU.
He and Dinardo, cut their eyeteeth, under McCarthey at Colorado.
I wanted somebody, outside of the LSU gene pool, so don't get me wrong.
But from casual awareness of Miles' resume, I would have NEVER HIRED HIM AS LSU HC.
Nothing has happened, that convinces me I was wrong.
Miles' demeanor, from the getgo was one of shiftlessness and casualness. He is not wired to lead the LSU Nation. PERIOD!
I thought you would ask: HOW MANY OF YOU WERE DISAPPOINTED WHEN HE DID NOT LEAVE FOR MICHIGAN!
That made me sick too, I could not believe we would be so LUCKY!! At the time, I just did not believe that Michigan could hire him. But blind acorns fall in the lap of blind pigs....

They weren't shelling out $4 million until after he brought home the trophy.

There is always going to be skepticism when you replace a successful coach who turned your program around with a coach folk know little about it.

no, you want to know who other than saban has won a title at lsu
youre trying to make a point that miles is worth a damn, when the only point youre making is that lsu has always had medium grade coaches
