re: There were very few LSU posters that were dissatisfied with 0 last year

Sigh

I was one of the guys that got bashed because I tried to defend Miles. I don't, and never did, think Miles was the greatest coach in history. But the guy was winning, so if you're going to make a change, be sure you're trading up.

I'd have been happy with Jimbo, had we gotten him. Herman, he was a hot name, it'd have been nervous optimism.

Other choices- a clear upgrade was a guy already locked in; Saban at Bama, Meyer at Ohio St (and honestly Miles held his own against him).
I understood the "things gotta change" sentiment, but I was scared of the Tennessee/Nebraska consequences. People only thought things sucked, because they could still taste a little more.

Well, now we know what sucking feels like again. We deserve all the "told ya so" posts we get. And I say "we", because even though I'm hugely anti-O, I'm still LSU. Proud alum, loyalties will never die.

Why Alabama fans are freaking out. By Willie Taylor

For the first time in 5 years I'm not worried about Bama

Passing yards vs Bama: Over or under 250?

Spoiler - It was way under. 92 yards to be exact.

I'm glad to see old Willie Taylor keeps to the Tiger Rant these days. He was incorrigible last year.

Les Miles is no longer the coach at LSU. We won't see them run it down the throat of a nick saban defense. The transition from Les to Coach O has been ridiculously smooth. Everything is gelling and I expect LSU to glide to a 10-14 point victory

Here's a few personal favorites of mine:

Really this whole thread is gold It gets pretty good after the 2nd page or so. There are some LSU fans that saw it coming though

Also, this. It was dismissed as "trolling"

He's got time to turn it around though...

Wut

Did you read the rant?

You are on record for being a smart LSU fan. I know that there are others like you, but you just seemed to be in the vocal minority. At least to me.

Good ol' Metry...

Could we all at LEAST let the man coach one full year and see how he does ???

At least a year, guys.

At least.

Hiring Orgeron was always a divisive decision. You are fake news.

Lsu fans as a majority were furious when he was hired as head coach.

Anything else said is a lie

Total propaganda. Hell, there were LSU posters abound claiming LSU was going 15-0 this year.

Because, get this, they had the best coaching staff in the country.

Lol

quote:

Miles is was and always will be light years better than Orgeron. I understand why Miles had to go but to replace him with Orgeron was a pitiful and desperate attempt of a hire. Disaster.

---

I said at the time, I understand why people WANTED Miles to go. He didn't HAVE to. He didn't resign.
When you can line up the replacement, and he's a better choice, go ahead and make it.

But my point then was, don't just throw a grenade into his office, without a plan. And by firing him midseason, without having anyone lined up beforehand, that's exactly what happened.

Miles, just my own opinion, would have won the games O did, and there's a good chance he beats Florida last season too. There were people thinking that last season, there were people saying "we have to fire him now, before he wins enough to become safe again. We have to do this NOW." So even the anti-Miles crowd expected him to win, they saw it as their opportunity.

Miles would have likely had this year's team 5-0, likely beats Fla and might beat Auburn, ... and loses to Alabama. They saw this as unacceptable.
Well, good for them, they no longer have to worry about late-season disappointments. No more failed expectations.
Instead, we're now hoping to not be embarrassed anytime we play a FBS team.

That's not the change I wanted.
