You tossed him to the curb even though he had the best winning % in program history, and now you're seeing the error of your ways ammaright ?


See my signature.

Firing Les was the right move.
Hiring O was retarded

Coach O doesn't believe in global warming.

It isn't binary process

O sucks so Les was good

Les was good, but stubborn.

You all hired our Dubose. To me, this is hilarious.

You all better not do what that Dumbass regime did and cheat blatantly to get back to Stallings status.

Tread water until the reasonable buyout comes up, get a great coach and still be Bama's ugly kid

Miles 2007, sure, miles 2014-2015, no. He became to stubborn to change and too loyal to Cam.

Our offense was very predictable and would have always given us 8 wins with the occassional 10 win season, but that was the ceiling.

It was time for a change when we started finishing 3rd in the West.

Coach O was definitely not the answer, but a change was necessary.
Lou Holts won a natty at Notre Dame, but when he left, he was no longer competative. Same with many great coaches.

Could we fall into being mediocre or worse, sure.

Georgia struggled with the same thing, but looks like they made a really good hire and probably looked for 2 years before making the change. We did it mid season and saw improvement right away and I think that skewed the search.

We may become the worst in the SEC, but I still think this team can improve and win a few games.

If I was a LSU fan, it's not Les I would want back. But that ship sailed long ago. Would at least want someone very similar to start the "process" of righting the ship.

Would I take him back over Orgeron? You bet.

Would I take him over any other "hot name" coach being mentioned these days? No.

Da frick? I'd be miserable having Les Miles back. He wasn't a good coach. He was sloppy and unprepared and won many games on talent alone. Towards the final few years, it was like he just was just going through the motions.

I bitched and moaned about Orgeron, but I wasn't content with winning 8 and 9 games under Les as well.

But now you will need to be content winning 3 to 4 games.

At least the misery will be short-term. I wasn't too enthusiastic being the "Iowa of the SEC" under Miles.

So you are confirming Les Miles has what it takes to beat Troy.

Considering terrible roster management in recruiting the last three years of his tenure is a big reason why LSU is in the spot it's in, I'd argue he wasn't fired early enough.

Orgeron does make Miles look like a tactical genius. But I would not want Miles back if he was the only coach left on the planet.

I know you're likely trolling, but it never ceases to amaze me the complete 180 this board has done in what they think of Les.

For his entire tenure at LSU he was a lucky goofball that would never make LSU elite. He was holding us back and yall celebrated the fact he was our coach.

Since the day he was fired he became a great coach seeminglee overnight and we were stupid to get rid of him.

Very few of us imagined our AD pulling off one of the most incompetent coaching "searches" in recent memory to hire the simpleton we currently have at the helm. But that doesn't mean Les shouldn't have been fired years ago.

It was time for him to go, but you don't fire Les to hire Ed Orgeron. No one would have hired him to be a head coach except us.
