re: We were becoming a laughing stock under Miles

The sec is a mess. No one is beating saban. Miles may have needed to go but unless lsu was replacing him with an up and comer, who was gonna be damn good, most any move outside of urban myer was, at best, lateral.

And so alleva hired the worst coach ever.

While I hated the "trajectory" of us under Miles {nods at Rickdaddy} and where I saw LSU headed, looking back a couple of weeks it was apparent to me in the Chattanooga game that trajectory had not been changed for the better.

There's lots to point at. There's some people point at just out of habit (QB for example). There's some valid reasons for some failures, and there's 5 mythical excuses for every valid reason.

But in the end, I'm a results orientated person. I do not understand people who are not. It must be the sociopath in me, the inability to empathize. But last year in an argument with Rickdaddy I stated that that results orientated outlook that applied with Miles (e.g. SECW finishes) should also be applied to CEO.

I am. And it is far from being adequate. The story is incomplete... but that just brings me back to that trajectory word. I don't have to see the final chapter to know what's in it.

Miles was done. He went 9-3 in 2013, and was steadily getting worse. Had he stayed in 2016, he would have lost the team. He gave all us fans that paid the money to go to Wisconsin a big Frick you that he was going to do things his way and Frick us. So, Frick Les Miles.

Pretty sure under Miles, we were the only team to win at least 8 games every year. We may not have been a contender anymore, but we were not going to tank like every other program had and eventually made coaching changes. Eve Ohio State had one shite season before hiring Meyer.

We don't really know this, I mean I'm not taking the freaking Perdue or Minnesota fricking jobs.

But I do know Ed Orgeron is trying his best to make Les Miles look like a freaking genius.

I live in Atlanta. NOBODY considered us a laughing stock.

Lets do the math here. Miles was fired on September 24th of 2016. Today is October 3rd of 2017. So, 365 days in a year, add 6 more days to get to the end of September, add 3 days for October. so if my math is correct, that's 374 days. There's 12 months in a year, Miles has been fired just over one year, so.......

Yep, you're right! 18 months.

Dumbass.

P.S. math is hard.

Not trying to intrude as an Alabama fan, (I got Cajun relatives) the most dreaded game we had was LSU under Miles. It was a physical knock down drag out. Lsu and Alabama were the two most physically imposing teams in the country. I think the change Miles was expected to make was a 2 year process. Can't just flip a switch and change philosophy. Crap it took Saban a full 3 years to do it.

LSU as a football program was respected under Les Miles.

The only laughingstock was the fan base that was increasingly outraged that we could not beat Alabama with Saban consistently.
Everyone else seemed to realize that Saban has been on an all-time great run, and LSU put up as much fight annually as anyone has.

And now, we've burned the program to the ground, ran off our all-time best coach percentage-wise, to hire Ole Miss's all-time worst coach.

If this had happened elsewhere, we'd be saying "you've got to be fricking kidding me".
Suppose Georgia had fired Richt to hire Sylvester Croom. Newsflash: Croom has a better resume than Orgeron.

Now, we're the new poster child for spoiled, unrealistic fanbase and administration; we've jumped Tennessee, Nebraska, Miami, and the Dallas Cowboys with Barry Switzer. People are going to shake their heads and say "let's be careful, we don't want to do what LSU did".
