The LSU administration was going to fire him after his next loss (unless it was a tight one to Bama).


That is what is so confusing about this entire situation. Did anyone expect LSU to go through the season undefeated? Is a last second loss to Auburn in Jordan Hare so bad as to warrant dismissal in September?

What a terrible decision. The administration needs to be summarily fired for such thoughtless, emotional, panic-ridden decision-making.

LSU has lost on the road to two very talented teams by a total of a touchdown between them. Five ranked teams are still left on the schedule. If Les really needs to go, it will be clear as the season progresses, but I have seen teams turn it around after a tough early season and go on to win out against serious competition.

The program's momentum continues. They can still fire Les at the end of the season, and the next guy steps into a perfect situation.

Those are fair points, but I truly think Miles was retained last season on the condition that he changed the offense. Through 4 games this year, it was painfully obvious that the offense didn't change a lick. That is why he was fired. Not because he lost to Wisconsin by 2 points and to Auburn by 5.

Let's not forget the terrible offensive performance in the second half (that nearly cost us the game) against a bad Mississippi state team.

I think there are pros and cons to firing a coach this early. if he was going to be fired at the end of the year anyway, what difference does it make?

When you make $5M+ a year to coach football, you better be perfect. LSU was far from that and the admin believes the team can improve. Nothing about this is thoughtless or panic-ridden.
