Les Miles was a good manager.

I was really frustrated with Les at the end of his career at LSU. I thought he became very predictable and was too conservative. But Les Miles did a lot of good things at LSU.

He was a great recruiter, he had some really good staff hires, and he won a ton of games.

The problem was that he was not a good game coach and he refused to allow his coaches to manage their respective disciplines.

Of course, we found out some things after he left, but one cannot really argue with his results when he coached at LSU.

Got a TV remote stuck in drywall after that Ole Miss clusterfrick

Nothing like watching Jefferson and Les looking like a deer looking at headlights as the final seconds hit zero.

A little contradictory, don't you think?

Too many mistakes that started with Tennessee and ended with auburn.


In between that was running dives into alabamas most talented part of their defense……their dLine and MLBS

It’s tough to look back on.

I enjoyed him but some mistakes were egregious.

He is the ONLY coach in the BCS era to play in NC with 2 losses.

He wasted more talent than any other LSU coach.

We won in spite of him.

Consider this, he inherited an LSU team that had been recruited by the best coach ever in college football history for the previous 5 years and he still lost 2 games and had to back into the 07 title. The 11 title game looked like it was being coached by Ray Charles.

Les was a beneficiary of the program Saban built.If we had been able to hire a top tier coach back then we would have won more titles and been what Alabama is now because we would have had a head start on them.Les was a clown and I thank him for the title but it wasn’t because he was great it was because he was given a great job at the right time.

It’s tough to say he was just riding off of what Saban built when his team beat the shite out of everyone and won an SEC title in his 7th season.

His interviews were so painful to watch that it was worth getting rid of him for that alone.

We wouldn’t have been in the SEC or national title game without Jordan Jefferson. We 100 percent don’t beat Alabama in the regular season without him.

He was good, not great. He was unable to adapt to the game.

The Cap One Bowl against Penn State? I wouldn’t include that in this list. I was at the game and it was a torrential downpour. Worst game like that I’ve ever been to and it was the worst field conditions I’ve ever seen football at any level played on. Completely nullified our speed advantage. Several times we had guys about to break out for a huge gain and chunks of turf would come up as they tried to cut. It’s a wonder no one was seriously injured.

Les could have had joe burrow in that game and he still would have managed to score 0 points

A goddamned fricking retard.

I hate that dude with the power of a thousand suns. He single handily took the fun out of being an LSU fan for years. It was a fricking chore watching him embarrass himself and us with his nonsense off the field and his underachieving on it.

We have a Tecmo Bowl offense but OMG he eats grass and is a family man!!!!




frick you and anyone that contributed to that moron staying here longer than deserved.
