I don't even hate Archer or DiNardo, anyone that hates Les or O (unless there is some personal reason) is an pathetic irrational fan with unrealistic expectations. Its ok to want them fired and to criticize but they won Titles here, they should be appreciated for what they accomplished

agreed. Hate is such a strong word that gets thrown around too easily. Saban made his move...Les had run his time, and now same as O. I appreciate each of them for what they did for LSU.

I don't even hate Curley*, it's business, don't let emotion cloud your judgement.

It's time to move on from O and the buyout ain't my money.

I dont hate Miles.


There comes a point where an individual no longer makes sound professional decisions and it's time to cut ties.


That time came with Miles and it's passed us with O. Doesnt mean I'll hate O. I dont like Saban because he left us and went to our rival. Shitty move

No hate for Saban. I will always be grateful for him putting the program into the spotlight, and set us up to be one of the nation's premier football programs...

Les was OK early on (as a coach), but was stubborn, and refused to evolve his offense to keep up with the game. The dirt that came up after the fact was disappointing, no doubt, though.

Most coaches who win NCs don’t end well:

Woody Hayes
Gene Stallings
Urban Meyer
Jim Tressel
Mack Brown
Larry Coker
Pete Carroll (left USC in shambles dealing with rules violations)
Gene Chizik
Jimbo Fisher

Saban is an anomaly; he also had the audacity to ask Bertman to fire Miles so he could get his job back. Saban wasn’t Saban then. He left us high and dry and washed out in the NFL. Miles had taken us to the SEC title game overcoming Katrina in 05 and won the Sugar Bowl following the 06 season. There was no reason for us to dump Miles at that point.

I don't hate Les. I don't like that he was so stubborn and let the game pass him by, but I appreciate his sustained success. He won a national championship and went to another. He won 9+ games in 9 out of 11 years.

Saban put the program back on the map and I still appreciate him. I don't hate Miles either but it was time for a change.




I don't hate Orgeron. I just hate the way the team is playing now. And think we can do better when it comes to a head coach.

I don't hate any of them. They all might have some flaws but come on.

Also the optics look great BTW:

"Come coach LSU, where even if you win a natty, the fans will hate you."

Saban is a great coach, if you hate him because he wears red now is childish.

I don't hate Miles. It was his time.

I won't hate O, just wasn't fit for the job.

uh, he didn't. He left us for the NFL.

After that didn't work, he came back to the college game, and LSU didn't have a head coach opening at the time. Bama did.

So let’s hire him back! Woodward has to at least make him say no, right? You gotta at least make an offer to the best in the business, right?

Let's hire someone we can be proud of this time around.

hate is not the right word, mostly just can't stand to see them on TV or hear them speak, lately esp Orgeron

Don’t forget Paul Deitzel left LSU 3 seasons after a natty to go to West Point where he flopped and the went to USCe.
