re: Mark my words....you fire Les Miles, and this program will sink into the abyss.

I could not agree more.

I agree with OP. This is short sighted. If not Jimbo, who? (And I'm not of the Jimbo-is--the-answer crowd.) Who will want to go where the coach of the #2 team just over two weeks ago, who was the winningest coach in school history, who has the #1 recruiting class for 2016 lined up, is fired ruthlessly?

:lol:

Is that you Chicken Little?

And nobody is going to read all that crap.

I'm prepared for this to become a big disaster...bigger than this seasons collapse. Alleva. Say it again. You know it. Alleva.

So if Les stays, our offense is magically better, our OL starts to block, our QB problems go away, our offensive approach suddenly evolves while our defense instantly gets better over night, the DL gets better, the LBs, though freshmen, make all the plays, and our secondary no longer gives up gobs of yards?

Damn in that case, let's keep Miles right where he is right now.

Let me give you some insight into the 2 programs you mentioned.

USC was put on probation. Fewer schollies means the less talent.

Texas...the last few years of Mack Brown he had horrendous recruiting and got passed up by Baylor and TCU. Texas used their Junior Day to sign kids early and never really went after kids who didn't sign early.

Texas let Mack hang around too long and tried that Coach in waiting bullshite.

LSU is bigger than Les Miles. Will we take some lumps? Most likely. Any team transitioning a culture and system will. Does the program need a change? Absolutely. I don't understand the narrative that Les Miles somehow has LSU so gripped by the balls that we are eternally fricked if we let him go?

Could work both ways. It could rain championships or we could be sent to the sunbelt.
