The last official play and the one that didn't count were a clusterfrick! He's right.

I'll bet you $100 he is coaching at a P5 school next season. I'm not even a Miles fan, but this statement is stupid.


Dear fricking Moron -

Purdue IS a P5 school. There are several second tier schools in the P5. Kansas would be another. And Vandy. And Indiana. And Maryland. And so forth. I said no ELITE program would hire Miles. And I'm right. Hence, your bet is inane and immaterial. Please learn to read before accusing others of being stupid.

Sincerely yours,

Literacy.

I love Les Miles but it was time for him to go even if that play had been ruled a touchdown. LSU had seen enough.

Any school that wants to compete for playoffs at the end of the year will not hire him. He will struggle mightily without bluechippers all over the field.

"Dear fricking Moron..."

Thanks for reminding me which conference Purdue is in.

Are you always so obtuse?

If you think Miles ends up at some bottom feeder like KU or Oregon st or vandy, you are the moron.

Again, I am not a Miles defender. But his resume speaks for itself. Some school desperate enough will get him (looking at you, Notre Dame)

So will you take the bet or not?

He was just fired from one of the top jobs in all of college football, and before the halfway point no less. A man who is apparently beloved by the media being fired during the season without an off the field scandal is unprecedented, albeit completely justified. ESPN approaches him to do an interview and by all accounts he seems to genuinely miss LSU and does nothing to paint the program in a bad light during said interview, yet there are many on this board who still take issue with the man. Only a fricking imbecile would have a problem with anything he's done since he was fired, but apparently imbeciles run rampant here.


great post.

Are you mentally deficient? Why would I take the bet when I've already acknowledged that Miles might end up at a trash P5 program like Purdue? Now if you want to bet that Miles is hired by an ELITE program, I'll take that.

LM: If I had to have one play define who I am I take that one. And here's why. Because there was nothing left. There was not a time left on the clock. There was, everything was running down and our team took the snap without instruction took the snap we had a play called we would be wrong. But the officiating crew without instruction which it’s not guaranteed to do, took a snap, rolled to its right and wins the game. If that play is allowed we win the game. I’ll take that play. I’ll take the very last play that we had. That would be the one. That would be a fighting heart. A group of men that could not be denied. And except for time should have well of won the game.


Not going to lie, it doesn't quite have the panache when you read it off a transcript.

Yes he would be still coaching, but the handwriting was on the wall.
He wasn't going to make it through October.

he had multiple seconds he didn't manage well before that snap so I don't feel bad.


I agree. I love Les Miles the man but this game should not have come to the last seconds of the game. LSU D kept us in the game like most past games (this year and last). Etling fumbling the handoff was a biggie but if we actually developed QBs, LSU would be winning championships or in real contention to win them. We have almost all the pieces needed besides QB and all aspects of the kicking game. I hope the best for LSU football in the future!

That answer is just baffling to me. Truly "Mad Hatter" stuff right there.

Miles said he'd pick that play to define himself. A play in which instruction and organization were insufficient.

And the "except for time" comment? What is that supposed to mean? There is no "except for time" -- and for him to say that after all the clock-management issues over the years makes him look kooky.

What Les has done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed... forever.

Of course it doesn't. It's jibberish, but it is jibberish said with so much "Les" that some people bought into it.

In the same sentence where the man sounds like a moron though, you can see how he rallied young men. The end of that answer shows exactly why his players loved him.

Did LSU lose a decent man, probably, but this program is in a much better place without him. LSU is bigger than the bafoon that is Les Miles

Unless this is an inside joke that I'm missing, I find this comment to be quite ironic.

His fault was not that he consistently mismanaged time at the end of games. It was that he could have done something to correct the mismanagement but seemed to be too stubborn to admit that he had a problem and/or do anything differently.
