The Bigger the Stage, the Bigger the Embarrassment Miles is to LSU on the Field

What occurred this past Saturday should be no surprise to LSU fans who look back at Les Miles coaching history while at LSU. With the exception of 2 on the field performances, Les has been a complete embarrassment when the state needed him most and the light shined brightest on LSU. The 2 exceptions were the 2007 NC game and the 2007 UF home game. Other than those 2 games, Les has done more to embarrass LSU ON THE FIELD than help it when the light shined brightest. Before I get hammered by his supporters, lets review:

2005: Miles completely falls flat on his face by giving up a 21 point lead, at home, on the first ever Monday night game. This was the first home game after hurricane Katrina/Rita and the whole country was rooting for us.

2006: Squandered one of the most talented teams LSU ever had by deciding to run 2 freshman against a stout Auburn defense, rather than use JM, Doucet, Davis and Bowe.

2007: Lost to Kentucky and Arkansas when he had far superior talent. Any other year and it would have cost us a chance at the title but he got lucky.

2011: Going undefeated in to the NC game and he completely embarrassed LSU by not having a back up plan to his offensive game calling. Once it was shut down, he had no answers. Most embarrassing moment as an LSU fan.

2012: He had let chief and Brick get away with being lazy on the recruiting trail and as a result, we had no defense to go along with Mett, Hill, Landry and Beckham.

2015: He has a once in a lifetime running back that is on track for a Heisman. Leonard is in the lead and only needs to get past Bama to get the award but instead, his pathetic game plan and inability to change allows Fournette to get shut down while Henry destroys us. In one game, he killed all chances of Fournette ever winning a Heisman while giving Henry the inside track to the Heisman.

2016: A once in a lifetime venue at Lambeau squandered by his stubbornness to change.

1 other fact to point out, when was the last time LSU won as an underdog? Isn't that the sign of a good coach is when he can win in spite of his deficiencies?

Les has done more to hurt LSU, on the field, than he has ever done to help it. While he was a great ambassador off the field, his on the field product has hurt us more when the spotlight shined brightest. That is the sign of a mediocrity at best which is exactly what Les has brought to LSU. You cant argue with facts and no coach has done Less with more since 2007 than Les Miles.
