What a monumentally dumb approach. Who are you going to hire that is better than Miles?

If you don't think that LSU can get a better coach than Les Miles, you're the dumb one. Miles as a coach is marginal at best. He recruits well and runs a clean program; those are his strengths. As a game day coach, he leaves a lot to be desired. He's been in BR for 11 seasons. That's a long time in the college coaching world. His relationship with the TAF has apparently become strained, and his goofy demeanor, which Tiger fans used to love, has become stale. A potted plant could coach the Tigers to an 8 or 9 win season. The talent is there, The missing piece has been coaching. Miles' inability to either evaluate the talent of, or develop even a serviceable QB over the past several seasons is inexcusable. It won't surprise me if LSU loses 2 or more games this season, simply because of who the head coach is.
