re: Les Miles was 3-7 against Nick Saban

THAT is why he was fired.

It's one reason sure, but it's not the premier reason why. In fact, there is no premier reason.

Les was giving LSU diminishing returns since 1/9 and was clearly regressing. He has not made a major bowl game since 1/9. He has not won the SEC West since then. The offense was just not producing at all and not even fun to watch anymore. He was stubborn and refused to adapt to the changing landscape of college football. And yes, he lost five in a row to Bama.

His system of keeping it close, playing not to lose and trying to wear teams down has one huge flaw and that sacrifices scoring opportunities.

Les Miles was clearly regressing to the point where LSU was in danger of fading away into irrelevancy under his leadership.
