That's on Miles... $4 mil a year and this season is unacceptable.........

You do realize even the highest paid coaches have down years right? There isnt program in cfb that doesnt have down years. We lost over 3000 yards of offense at just the wr and rb position. Anyone that didnt think we were gonna take a step back is dumb.also, if lsu wins out we would have won 9 games while playing in the hardest division in cfb. In the last 5 years there are only 4 teams in all of cfb to win at least 9 games. AND LSU IS ONE OF THEM. Nebraskan bama lsu and Oregon. Winning 9 games isn't automatic especially in the sec west.

Here's a fact: LSU has had only one truly exceptional season in Miles's ten years... the one he ended up embarrassing on 1/9/2012. 



What? bullshite. Any time you win the west its an exceptional season. I hate our ignorant and entitled fan base.

Put up the only undefeated regular season in school history.

That would come as a surprise to the 1958 team. And the 1908 team, too.

it's not like our new WRs and current RB stable are scrubs. we replaced proven elite players with guys that have elite potential and a QB with plenty of time in the system to be serviceable.

That's all fine and dandy.. BUT with THIS kind of talent?? Its a what have you done for me lately landscape... And This year Miles has done nothing for me.. Even last year with all that offensive talent they laid an egg against both Ole Miss and Bama... That's on Miles... $4 mil a year and this season is unacceptable.........


Lets look at the salaries of the coaches who have beaten less miles

Nick Saban---- $6.9 Million
Bret Bielema----$3.2 Million
Malzahn---------$3.85 Million
Mullen-----------$2.65 Million

Guess which one has a winning record vs Les Miles?
Guess which one got a Championship pay bump?

So you want to talk about Les's salary fine, but don't do it in a vacuums of his achievements, and the coaching market.

yet saban has more national titles at bama even with miles having a 2 year head start. auburn has a title and almost a second since miles was hired. Florida has 2 titles since miles was hired how many of the teams listed above backed into a title with 2 losses? how many were completely embarrassed and shut out in the title game?



Ouch... You can' bring THOSE type facts in here...........

Nothing. What i posted speaks for itself. Just thought id post some facts while there were numerous threads about Miles' replacements and how the game has passed him by


So do you feel that he is still elite?

Until he can admit that he hasn't done enough for the team this year I can't give him a pass. But if he won't listen to the people that cash his check he sure as hell isn't going to give a damn about what I think

yea, OP wants to cherry pick all these feel good stats. they're nice and all, but when you have a guy IN YOUR DIVISION who is not only matching those stats, but exceeding them at the expense of your program, it isn't impressive at all.

You replaced him with a guy with 1 start and brought in a new blocking scheme. Most young first year starters struggle in the sec. Also none of our rbs are close to jeremy hill right now (set the sec single season ypc record) and none of our wrs are close to landry and odjr.to say otherwise isnt being honest.

This team was 0-17 until last week.

You think Winning 10 games in the hardest division in the hardest conference is a failure? We finished ranked in the top 15.wow.

Blake sims barely got the job this year, but he drove down the field in tiger stadium to tie the game then threw the TD to win it in OT. how many starts did he have before this year?

how many starts did AJ McCarron have before 2011?

fournette, dupre, and Dural have elite talent. we didn't replace obj, Landry, and hill with scrubs.

Didnt read all that noise.

Fact is he refuses to change, adapt or at least try something different.

I do not give a shite about what other coaches make.... He is making $4 mil a year and THIS team could go 7-6... AND as of RIGHT NOW I would take all three of those coaches over Miles.........

Yes the same arky team that pushed alabama around and would've beaten them if not for gifting them points.
You dont judge a coach off of 1 game.
