re: Official Convert Thread: for those who supported Miles, but no longer do

It sucks. I hate it that he will likely go out in a bad way. You'd like to see such a known LSU figure to go out with a conference title at least. But that's not going to happen unless he has an awakening next year.

In, just respect and like him but need a change.

I'm sober today. I've reached the stage that many have- acceptance.
The stages of coaching grief. He's mediocre and so are we. It's almost a malaise of apathy. I gave him a pass for calling timeout after an interception. For the "clock it" lie.
For blowing the 2010 Tennessee game (but being miraculously bailed out as only miles can). I'm even getting over 1/9. No more. I'm done. Nice guy with another November collapse. Larry Coker 2.0 has transitioned to Richt of the west. He got destroyed in "Death Valley" by a team that lost at home to Toledo. I don't care that it happened in September. This isn't a good arky team. They fricking lost to Toledo. I want someone who has an expertise on one side of the ball. Someone in touch with x/o's. Someone who can make adjustments and think on the fly. Not someone who can't manage a clock. We shouldve promoted Jimbo or hired Petrino in 2005.

I still support him.

So. . . Out, I guess.

I was very excited at the beginning of the season and the first half of the Miss St. game. It was when Miss. St almost came back that I went full Miles hater for the first time in my LSU fanaticism. It's been getting worse and worse as the weeks go on

that game did it for me too man!! My blood pressure had never been so high than during the end of that game. There was absolutely zero excuse for that game even being close, and Miss St had a great chance to steal it. I'm the known Miles apologist in my circle of friends and co-workers....that night I said I was done defending him and Cameron.

but FYI, Cameron is the absolute worst!!! Worst OC he's ever hired PERIOD!!! People are diluted by 2013. OBJ and Landry made so many ridiculous catches on 3rd down conversions it was plum silly. They bailed his arse out and fooled people into thinking he could call a decent game. He was still predictable as hell!!

I've gotten on and off the Miles bandwagon so many times I've worn out the steps. But last night finished me off for good. I'm done with him. It's time to re-tool.

Defended him for 10 years in Beefense/Choctaw mode.

Got off the Miles bandwagon last December with the Steele hire.

I was never one of the "Fire Miles Now" crowd until last night.

Same here I'm a miles supporter through and through, but enough is enough, I won't go through another let down season next year

Les is a great man and ive defended him through thick and thin.living in alabama and being a diehard tiger fan has been rough when you cant explain anything you saw during the game. I love les but im so ready for a change now. Look how other teams fly down on special teams and try to take our head off, we used to do that, what happened? Seems Like other teams want it so much more than we do, what happened? Same plays all the time, no change. Ill always pull for coach miles but its time now! Geaux Tigers!!!
