I have to say that he lost me early into this football season. It had been building. Clock management against Auburn in '07, trying to call a TO after and interception. Predictable play calling. And just a general uneasiness with Miles, and the way last year was handled.

But I have to admit, I was still on board going into this season with a coach on pace to easily surpass 50 wins in 5 seasons, a national championship and a great bowl record. And that allowed me to look past last season. Give him a pass if you will.

But this year has been an utter buzzkill. Watching the predictable play calling, the stoicism on the sidelines passed off as being a coach in control of the situation but really being a coach who obviously doesn't know what to do, the want to sound like a strong macho a-hole in his interviews and press conferences. There is a dark energy pervasive through the football program that needs to be attacked head on.

And I understand football wins aren't everything. I have at least some perspective here. But throwing JJ under the bus the other night was just pathetic. I respect guys like Tom Osborne and Bill Snyder. I could deal with a little less winning with a guy like that, but Miles aint that guy.

To me, Miles has just been going through the motions this year. If he wants to go to Michigan and MU will have him, fine. Good luck. Just stop messing with my Tigers.

I truly believe there aren't many Miles supporters left. I was as loyal as it gets. Saturday turned that around. It was like finding out who the wizard really was behind the curtain.

Many are in this boat. Only the true sheep are still ignoring everything.

I just hope the players get a fair shake their last 2 games.

I doubt they want him now. Them or OSU.

I tried because he was LSU's coach but I am done.

If LSU wins the SEC and/or the National Championship I'll come around but will continue to wonder when the next big blunder will occur.

More importantly, he's lost the faith of his team.

He's lucky he didn't lose most of his teeth.
