I think it was a "racial " issue long before 1-9. We all saw it I. The media during his suspension with his aunt on TV spouting he was suspended because he was black. We also see it in everyday life daily of an issue and no matter the right or wrongs, it's racial as well as many people take that route. I could see some of that happening during the season with some players thinking JJ was getting shafted because he was black. but the final result had nothing to do with it in my opinion. I just believe that Miles is that stubborn and was dead set on making JJ a winning QB and would die trying. Well he did.

Miles had the chance to once and for all put all the miles vs saban issues to rest. He had the chance to step out from his Shaddow and be that great coach. Regardless of what happened after that season, he would have turned the page and been up there with the greats. Well he shite the bed and will always be known as the quirky decent coach but not great. Im Proud of that team and its accomplishments, but at the end of the day, besides LSU fans, what does the rest of America remember from that magical season? LSU getting arse raped on national TV and Les looking like the idiot everyone perceives him as. Not saying if we would have shown up and played lights out we would have won, but at least make it respectable. That was a great Bama team. But it was also a great LSU team. It may have went down to the wire but at least we could be blaming it on a bad call or a kicker, not conspiracy theories because Les Miles is stubborn
