What happened in the locker room on 1/9/12 and why didn’t you attempt a qb change?

Lee wouldn’t have saved us that day. We all wanted to win, but he wasn’t the answer. Let it go.

The man may have been here a season and a half too long, but he was LSU football for a decade. What he accomplished and how he represented LSU demands respect.

True. The way our O-line was getting owned that night, Lee would have gotten sacked at least 4 times in the second half and probably would have thrown one or two INT'S. It hurts to say that, but I'm being honest.

Why couldn’t you beat the GOAT CFB coach that had a great team with maybe the best defense in CFB history pumped up on deer antler spray twice in two months even though you had two QBs that were mediocre at best?

I sure hope Les or some former player answers this question before I die. Something must have happened. I remember seeing some players on the sideline of that game seemingly very subdued and not into the game. And that was in the first half before it got out of hand.

Complete and unrepentant illogic. It was obvious by half-time that JJ could not win the game. Defeat was inevitable with JJ at the helm. Hence, changing QB's was the only rational course. It was the only possible route to victory, no matter how improbable. If Lee was inserted and failed, the team would lose nothing, since it was already the epitome of offensive ineptitude. If he was inserted and played well, we had everything to gain. The fact is that you have no idea how Lee would have fared. You are speculating, extrapolating, surmising. He could have collapsed. Or he could have had the best night of his life. None of us will ever know, because Miles refused to even try. It remains the most obstinate and dumbest coaching decision I have ever witnessed in any championship game in any sport at any level. Just moronic.

The game was 9-0 in the 4th quarter dude. Lee had proven over his career that he was prone to throw interceptions when under a lot of pressure.

Yeah the offense sucked. But an interception or pick 6 would have been the nail in the coffin.

The reason I wish Miles would have put in Lee in the second half is that it would have ended the myth of "we might have won that night if only Lee got in." The way our offensive line was getting manhandled, we couldn't run the ball and our QB was running for his life every time he dropped back to throw it. Lee would not have made much difference that night. It wasn't as though he'd lit it up against Bama in the 9-6 win during the season.

Someone please ask this, if only to put to rest what was going on in the coaches' minds.

Interesting take since he had 14 TDs 3 INTs in 2011.

Meanwhile JJ:
