If any of you know football you would know the game of football has passed up Les Miles. Yes Les Miles has been great to LSU but since 2011 he can't get over the bama game. The reason why I bring this up is because no I'm not obsessed with bama it's the fact that we have fallen apart after playing y'all. I am not denying that the man has brought great success to the LSU football program but the man recruits dual threat QB's for them to just run the I-formation all game. That just doesn't make any sense too me. It would make a lot more sense if he didn't recruit dual threat QB's. The only reason I would want to keep Les is because he is a great man and a great face for LSU football but like I said the game of football has passed his philosophy up. Just wanted some of yall's opinions on this. Please no BS.

I agree with you. It's probably time to make a change.

I didn't read your post. As for the question in the title...everyone sees it. It's still fun knighting for Les though because it bothers y'all.

We don't live in your goofy echo chamber. "The game has passed him by" is a cliche. When and how exactly did that happen?

We see y'all acting like fools. Per par.

So there's that.

Because Alabama fans have been through this before. After Alabama lost to Mississippi State in 1996, our AD (Bob Bockrath ) pushed Stallings into resigning from the job and retiring from football. Despite averaging 10 wins a season, there were many in our fan base who were happy to see him leave. Like Miles, his offenses showed little innovation and lacked creativity.

What followed was the collapse of one of the best programs in the country. Mike DuBose brought a more wide open offense that resembled the Fun 'N Gun at Florida but he couldn't win games. He averaged 6 wins a year in his four seasons - this after Alabama had averaged 10 wins in the previous seven. Then you had the whole Albert Means scandal, as well as the fiascoes involving Franchione and Price. We spent a decade in the wilderness as a result of forcing Stallings to tender his resignation.

You are throwing away a coach who has won 78% of his games over 11 seasons because of a "slump" that only really got started last year. You are at risk of becoming a lot like Alabama post-Stallings or even Tennessee post-Fulmer.

So yeah, please forgive us if we don't see what you see.

If yall want Jimbo Fisher, go for it!

But Les Miles has a lot more quality victories than Jimbo Fisher.

But yall want to replace him with a guy that can't beat Dabo. Fisher has lost to Clemson and Georgia Tech this year. Clemson beat GT 45-24 or something like that. He won a NC because of Winston and then blew it last year with Winston. Auburn won a NC because of Cam not Chizik. Him low can't dominate the ACC how in the hell do you think he can prepare to win in the SEC every weekend not just the 3 tough games a year he plays? Honest question.

What does it mean that the game of football has left him behind? I have heard that said about Richt and I'm not sure what that means exactly. What is he doing that is outdated?

At the end of the day, you're just LSU. I still cannot help but think of LSU as that dumpster fire program throughout the 80s and 90s. You've had really good luck by getting a hell of a coach. Look back on your history. That's where you're headed. I'm happy for you to get rid of Miles.

I think Wimp Sanderson was right about the situation. It's not Les himself, but the Nick Saban effect, if he wasn't doing the things he is at Bama, there would be no problems.

You're in one of the most competitive football divisions ever. Look at the current SEC West standings, every team but Auburn has a .500 or better record. Has there ever been a time when both Mississippi Schools were good? Throw in Texas A&M with their recruiting capabilities, Alabama, LSU, and an Arkansas team who keeps getting better, you have serious competition in that division.

This all comes down to LSU's inability to beat Saban. Miles is getting fired because he's lost too many to Saban. End of story.

P.S. LSU is making a mistake, fire the guy with the #1 recruiting class next season, genius.

Miles should have been fired after the NC loss to Alabama. He has never figured out what happened and continues to recruit, prepare and play the very same way every game every year. He missed the wake up call and is still asleep.

We said it a long time ago and you've put up with this long what's another five years going to hurt? Wrong time and especially the wrong way to handle it.
