I agree wholeheartedly. I will be right behind him......carrying his freaking luggage and pushing him towards the door the plane getting him the hell outta here.

I was still a Miles supporter up until a couple of weeks ago. Last week was the proverbial straw for me. That being said, LSU will probably roll the Gators and really make my head spin.

Trust me. If I can find it in my mind/emotion/will (my soul) to give him this one last mulligan, anyone can. I have despised his brand of coaching since 2006, even in the midst of the successes that i felt where in spite of him.

That being said, i see the tide turning to his favor, and the main factor will be how he makes decisions (Qb, play selection, player personnel, game management) in this weekends game.

Miles likes to play poker. The river card is this weekend. All the chips are in the pot. His hand is 2-4-5-6 spades after the turn. He ain't looking so good to the table. The best hand in the group has a pair of Aces and a pair of 6's, and they are all-in also hoping the river gives an ace or a 6 for a boat. He needs a 3 of spades to get his straight flush. He had better get a 3 of spades. Th odds are against him, but he is the Hat - Coach Lucky. He is all-in. It is his last chance to zoom out of the droop. Geaux Miles geaux.

Do you think recruits just magically come to LSU no matter who the coach is. I would think Les might have a little bit to do with our recruiting success or do you believe that is all Saban still?


Yea i believe that Saban is the reason why we get players? Retard. No but I believe that any coach at LSU could recruit just as well with the talent the state of Louisiana puts out every year. The facilities, tradition, and Game day atmosphere sells itself to these recruits. Also, Frank Wilson is the best asset we have in recruiting. But way to try and sound like a jackass with the Saban line.

The major media are just feeding off the chum that our (LSU!!!)fans put out. Sure our coaches deserve plenty of what they or Miles in this case get.

We have a lot of big games in front of us. Let's support the team and that includes the coaches.

Actually from your set up any spade except the ace would work.

Not as much as you think.

Being that it's Les he'll hit spade jack on the river, win the money and the bracelet but the rant will explode because he was too stupid to get the 3 and win it pretty.

yeah, a guy making $4 million a year should get credited for trying to correct his monumental blunders that occur over and over. The guy coming off of a national title year hired Bradley Dale Peveto and Doug Mallory to run his defense. Thats possibly the dumbest thing he's ever dumb and the competing list is long.

Like JL didn't not have as many unsucessful drives in that game as JJ, JL had one more sucessful than JJ drive in the hold game, which was at the end. in fact they were even JJ had a 83 yarde one for a TD. I would like to see JL play and do good, because he had the position first 2yr ago. But Les is the leader and makes the decisions , and sometimes, a leaders decisions don't appear to be right because a leader can't disclose or do what everybody wants , in order to keep the probability for success higher. He is giving JL more playing time in the right situations and is going to protect both QB's from collective damage, and at the same time raise his chances for the win.

Because he was forced to, you always leave out the fact that he never should have made this boneheaded decision in the first place, it shows a lack of ability to think in the abstract.

Let's get behind the team instead, and get rid of the coach that is ruining their program and I'm on board.

JJ is awesome at the hold game. Hold the ball until you are sacked.

I am only saying this to see about the Florida game and how it plays out. I need to see some major adjustments, but I am making an exception and assuming that he WILL make the adjustments. If he does not, then we'll deal with it accordingly. I'm no fricken homer, but Alleva has clearly let it be known that Miles is going nowhere until the season is over. As such, I figure I might as well through some good will/karma his way in the hopes he adjusts, plays Lee a lot more, and retains the opportunity for a special season - which is right there for the taking, damnit!

It is all or nothing. Miles is all in. Getting behind him and let's see what happens. We are not ignoring how we got here, but hoping against hope that Big Les finally sees what we all see, and plays Lee liberally. If he plays only JJ or mostly JJ and we get a lot of 3-and-outs, that'll be a bad thing, but for this one shot, I'm hoping the combination of the obvious, a galvanized team and a positive-emitting fan base (i know, i know...its a reach, but...) will all line up and allow the LSU offense to reach an average-to-above-average level, cause we will then be off to the races.

I don't agree with some of his decisions as much as any of you. I pull for the Tigers so I pull for Les....

I agree this will be the defining moment of Miles' tenure on how he manages this game. I hope the best for him,if he changes nothing then shame on him since he controls this situation.
