Just barely remember him but we rarely got our tales blown out. Ask me and he did pretty decent job. Not Saban good but decent

Me also.......wish you had left LONG AGO!!!

Michigan dodged a bullet!

rbdallas•57 months

he coaches in the MIchigan style

Nolaughingmatter•57 months

I always figured that he wouldn't change his style of play at LSU because he wanted the Michigan job someday and he thought it would be best to show Michigan that he would never waiver from that old-fashioned Michigan style of play.

We are sad too

zoom•57 months

Sad it took so long to get a new coach

jonboy•57 months

This is how Les talks. He's politely taking a shot at Michigan.

Stingy•57 months

Did that jackass call LSU a "decent place"? He never deserved to coach at LSU, or Michigan for that matter.

Black n Gold•57 months

I take it as being in a 'decent place' in his life. Not referring directly to LSU.

southsidedell•57 months

I mean he also said he was sad it didnt work out (at LSU). You have to understand the way this dude talks...its different.

Stingy•57 months

Fair enough on both of yalls points. But he didn't deserve to be at LSU in the first place. And yes I do believe coach o is an upgrade.

Not a good sound for CLM, sounds as if he regrets not going to UM, Its unfortunate that he feels that way. Had he not laid an egg in 2012 NC game against the gumps no les, he'd have been a legend in BR forever.

dsides•57 months

of course he regrets not going to UM but they were too smart to hire him. He rode the Saban wave and continues to fool LSU fans to this day.

TigerNlc•57 months

Well they hired Brady Hoke so I wouldn’t say they were too smart to hire Les. I think he would have done well at Michigan.

Placebeaux•57 months

I wish he would have went. Badly wish he would have left.

Placebeaux•57 months

And the only reason he didnt go to Michigan was because he lost his way into the NCG and his contract made him the highest paid coach in CF if he won.

TigerSpray•57 months

Couldn't leave Saban's talent.

lsu dawg•57 months

Who Cares he wouldn't change so he got what he deserved

voodooidotwo•57 months

Trust me les, LSU fans are sad you didn’t get it too. It would have saved us 4 more years of mediocrity

tigerfoot•57 months

Les has talked about his love for LSU and for Louisiana until we could all throw up. Now he says something somewhat complimentary of his alma mater and LSU fans act like some teenage girl that need constant affirmation. Damn.

Swamp Angel•57 months

'Zackly. Thank you for your response. Les stayed at LSU when he could have coached his alma mater. I respect him and love him for that. I wish only the best for him on all his future endeavors.

SOCAL TIGER•57 months

I sad it did not either. We would have at least one more championship with him leaving.

rob62•57 months

Hey Les, your sour grapes are showing. Oh, and fukk Michigan.

BigTimer23•57 months

Good one Rob

Space Cowboy•57 months

I was very sad and disappointed it didn't work out as well. As I wanted Les gone forever.

TigerSpray•57 months

Ah, somebody didn't get their statue....

Mouche337•57 months

I wished it would have worked out too! Maybe then we could have gotten rid of that ancient offense a few years sooner and actually accomplished something with the talent that passed through LSU under your watch.
