His 1960's offense just doesn't work anymore. We don't throw to TE's like Arky or even hae a good Oline anymore. Also anytime it gets below 50 degrees you can't count on us losing.

His specialty is O-line. LSU's o-line blows. There's a difference between blatant lies and "coach speak." Les Miles doesn't know the difference. I think he gets super lucky a lot. I also think he is unbelievably lucky to have Chavis. With an average DC, LSU would have lost A LOT more games.

Like him a lot. ....very young team at LSU. He is going to play tough defense and ground control and that's the way to win.

You all are having a true rebuilding year. You lost a lot of talent the last two years. I think I would give him two years before really looking at if he is the right coach. Dude has made LSU relevant in the title hunt for a lot of years. QB has been his Achilles heal but I truly think Harris can be good. Not sure Cam is the right OC though. Chavis still a top DC.

He is an incredibly wealthy man who has somewhat lost the passion needed to win at an SEC level.

It doesn't matter who the OC is. Miles will always hae the final say in the offense

He's a loveable quirky guy. Love when he eats grass and says crazy things.

Maybe about the 15th best coach in the country. Very good, not great. LSU is stuck with him because your odds of landing a great coach are very low.

He's a slightly better Houston Nutt coaching a lot of talent. This used to be enough. He's no better or worse than Bob Stoops or Mack Brown, but there are too many good cooks in the secW kitchen.

His offense? You guys thought Cam was the second coming of Jesus and you're blaming Les?

Two years ago this board was bombarded with endless comparisons of Miles and Saban and who was better, and now we're here.

Don't be rational with our fanbase. They aren't as patient as the other 95% of football fan bases.

Yeah, if he doesn't let his OC go the way he wants then he is a moron.

Similar to Pinkel, doesn't understand the game strategy that well, makes lots of questionable to bad decisions during the game, but often gets away with it with better players. He's a good player coach but his X's and O's mostly suck.

I think the odds of any program landing a top 15 coach prospectively is pretty low. There's a lot of potential to just flame out, especially in the hyper competitive SEC and especially in the West.

No point in changing horses midstream.

He is Saban lite, and I don't really mean that as a negative. He would win the Big10 or ACC more years than not.

That's what Tennessee said about Fulmer and a bunch of other teams have said about perfectly good coaches.
