Starting to think we fired him too quickly. Yeah he had blunders, but we were more discipline and relevant. Hope we don't turn into Tennessee or Texas. If he doesn't get fired we would've had a top 3 recruiting class and more respect. Just my 2 cents

It was time for a change. Inept leadership was not up to the task of selecting a new coach.

Knowing what we know now, I really wish Miles was still here.

ya think?...

I am betting that if Miles were here, we would be near a top 5 team right now...of course, our fans would still be wanting him fired immediately.

No, we fired him too late. As shitty as our team is this year, our offense is still ranked in the top half of the NCAA which Cam Cameron wouldn't be close to sniffing with this talent. Les' teams looked awful against inferior competition, his brand of football was boring, he was hardheaded, he started having clock management issues and other blunders from getting older I guess, he looked generally zoned out and lackadaisical on the sidelines, and his recruiting was beginning to seriously drop off which is basically identical to Orgeron at this point.

We should've fired Les as soon as it became apparent that he wasn't changing and made a GOOD hire, stop kissing his arse just because we made a literal 0/10 quality hire, it's getting pathetic and ridiculous but I'm not sure why anyone would expect our fanbase to see this rationally

Oregeron sucking complete arse does not mean it was time for Les to go.

His time as the head coach at LSU was up. His time should have actually ended getting carried off the field after aTm. It was the perfect ending. Unfortunately Alleva fricked up the firing of Miles as badly as he did the hiring of O.

There was no passion in the second half of 2015 and early 2016.

There was no passion in 2014.

No. This is panicked thinking.

Alleva's frick up in hiring the Ogre had nothing to do with this. It was PAST time for Les to go.

Horse shite. For the Bama game usually, and maybe one other game a year. (2011 season excepted) The rest of the games they slopped around and managed to out talent the other team. Oregon is awful but all this revisionist history about Miles' teams always playing with a bunch of intensity is total crap.

Our fans didn't like going in to the Bama game undefeated after rolling over everyone.

Les shoulda rode off into the sunset in 2015 on his players shoulders. But the guy did have a heck of a fun at LSU. He'll be judged very well as time goes on. I sorta admire a guy who will lose the greatest job of his life because he's loyal to a friend of 30 years.

Not true we look like evangel with all those shifts and bullshite. Les had one problem Alabama, but so those everyone else. Friends from the tide say lsu played them better than anyone else. They laugh a CEO like we are a circus now

No dude.

For the last few years, Les had multiple problems. Namely Alabama, Ole Miss and Arkansas. Particularly Arkansas and Fat Bert.

You're in panic mode.

What Coach O is doing to this program will set us back years. It will take numerous seasons to recover from this

Could you name me the only coach in Sec history to have 2 1000 yard receivers and a 1000 yard rusher in 1 year?

While this is true... when is it enough?

With the sole exception of 2013 -- with an NFL QB and 2 WR's who start in the NFL, one of whom is an elite player in the NFL -- LSU suffered through almost unthinkable amounts of offensive ineptitude.

With no equivocation, Les Miles was given an ultimatum: do what it takes to fix the offense or you're toast. As much as I love Les Miles, in the face of that ultimatum, he changed nothing and stuck with the same recipe that had failed.

It was time for a change.

Yeah, losing to Troy has LSU looking so much better.

Have you even watched O on the sidelines?
The man looks like as he is passing gas.

You are a retard if you think that after five games O has shown he can carry Les's jock.

Truth is, LSU fricked up hiring O as a replacement for Les. Anyone refusing to admit that simple fact has his head buried in his arse.
