You said all you need to with this:

CLM has done tons for this program and he deserves the chance for these freshman to mature.
At the time of maturity, if this team still plays like they did against Auburn, I will readily admit, it's time for a change.

That day hasn't gotten here yet, nor has this team been a .500 team like other top programs in the SEC were just a few years ago.
Teams need time to rebuild. To think a team can play at the top year after year is just unrealistic.

The same people calling for his head, do so every year.
They put unrealistic expectations on the team and this staff, year after year.

You will be the same ones crying about anyone they put in the position of head coach if he doesn't win 12 games a year. You suck as fans and probably as human beings. No one cares about your temper tantrums and immature behaviors.

Not too long ago they belittled our president exactly the same way, look what we have now.

Be careful what you wish for........

You do realize that the teams in 2005, 2006, and 2007 were likely the most talented in the country based on experienced players.

I do recognize likely. The others being osu and uf. Two teams we played. But my question is why weren't we in 2004 with a Sr qb. With sabans defense he recruited and coached. Or why not in 2002 after bringing in the #1 class relying on a qb that played pro baseball and no one behind him when he got hurt. Surely that va tech team coulnt have been that more talented than LSU.

Stopped here:

You're one of those assholes who didn't get who you wanted after Saban left, hated JMiles from the start, critisized him at first, shut up when he started winning, and now that he's having a down seson, you come out of the woodwork with a fricking wall of text.

You're biased, and so your wall doesn't interest me.

Here's a clue:

When Miles goes, LSU isn't going to hire your Superbowl winning NFL coach either. So you may as well get started hating the next LSU coach early.

Saban and Emmert to make changes it needed to compete at a high level. Miles has reaped the benefit of that more than anyone.

---

Hallman was one of the first coaches to implement an indoor practice facility. Saban isn't some genius. Any idiot knows you have to pump money.in to win.

I will say this. LSU was never as bad as Oklahoma state. Miles went to 3 straight bowl games after making 1 in 13 years. He also had to compete against OU. LSU had no one.

The tools were in place at LSU before saban. That's all. They were here when miles took over and he has a better record. What more do you want? If miles didn't have a better record than saban I would agree. But he does, so he continued to push the program further.

I agree with this. CLM has shown little interest in changing when what is being done is not working. He will have plenty of chances to change this year because LSU will be on the short end of the score for most of the rest of the season.

Yet you love to ignore the fact that LSU in 2002 and 2004 was not nearly as talented in depth as it has been since then. Randall didn't pan out and Saban rolled the dice with two great youngsters. They needed time to develop, just like Harris and Jennings do.

Again, people calling for Les to be fired are morons, for two reasons:

1) He's not getting fired, period. He's owed too much money and his 2011 season earned him some leeway.

2) While I don't see him coaching LSU to another title, firing him would be stupid. I think you give him a chance to change things, see if the players develop and team improves, and from there make a decision.

Hell, if Muschamp can get a year, so can Les. Now people claiming we need to keep Les and 2016 is our year, that's just stupid. If the team doesn't improve next year or goes 6-6, then Les needs to be let go. Until then, I'll support the Tigers, but I don't have much faith in this team developing much right now.

I never understand the RB approach. I like mixing it up when it's needed but for example why was Magee starting in Auburn, he's been the least productive. It's like he picks a name out of a hat. There's no rhyme or reason behind it.

Read this post and did not go further, my comment is LSU has the wins, no one questions this. We have way too many UGLY wins and the only reason why, great defense

Fans are tired of ugly offense

With that said look at Michigan and they fired a coach who won a national title and have gone through 2 coaches and looking at a third

I am a fan of Les Miles and understand this posters frustration however there is a possible downside to a coaching change.

Too long, learn brevity.
