LSU Fans Be Honest - You'd Do Anything To Have Les Back
Da frick? I'd be miserable having Les Miles back. He wasn't a good coach. He was sloppy and unprepared and won many games on talent alone. Towards the final few years, it was like he just was just going through the motions.
I bitched and moaned about Orgeron, but I wasn't content with winning 8 and 9 games under Les as well.

Considering terrible roster management in recruiting the last three years of his tenure is a big reason why LSU is in the spot it's in, I'd argue he wasn't fired early enough.
Orgeron does make Miles look like a tactical genius. But I would not want Miles back if he was the only coach left on the planet.

He was a helluva good football coach
I know you're likely trolling, but it never ceases to amaze me the complete 180 this board has done in what they think of Les.
For his entire tenure at LSU he was a lucky goofball that would never make LSU elite. He was holding us back and yall celebrated the fact he was our coach.
Since the day he was fired he became a great coach seeminglee overnight and we were stupid to get rid of him.
Very few of us imagined our AD pulling off one of the most incompetent coaching "searches" in recent memory to hire the simpleton we currently have at the helm. But that doesn't mean Les shouldn't have been fired years ago.

or we could have just done a real coaching search
that would have been tight
that would have been tight

It was time for him to go, but you don't fire Les to hire Ed Orgeron. No one would have hired him to be a head coach except us.

Firing Les was probably the correct move. But there was no normal process in which a coach with Orgeron's resume is even considered.
If you can't get Jimbo or Herman there are still dozens of names to consider.

Absolutely not. Would I take him over O? Of course, but it was time for him to go. Just didn't think our AD would screw this up so bad..

Les Miles had a Cadillac Escalade and tunred it into a broken down Pinto. The guy is a fricking joke. Saban's players made him and everyone knew it then and knows it now. He should have been fired in 2015.

If I had known our hire would be O, fricking right I'd take Les back.

God no. The buyout clause for Orgeron is indefensible, and it's ridiculous that Alleva botched the firing of Miles to where we couldn't find a better hire, but I am very very thankful that Les Miles was gone. His deceit disgusted me, and it got so bad at the end that I automatically disbelieved anything that came out of his mouth.
With the Tom Herman / Jimbo Fisher bungling in 2015 & 2016, I was fine with Orgeron as a short-term hire. In fact, I'm still prouder of LSU losing with Orgeron than winning with Miles any day of the week, because Miles was a moral catastrophe and wasn't a man I could get behind as a head coach. That being said, that buyout clause is just baffling... if we could fire Orgeron next month, and give him a pat on the back for trying, everything would be relatively okay.
LSU has depleted O- & D- lines at the moment, but the program overall is not as bad of shape as many people think... well, until you get to the financials. Then, yeah, we are in really bad shape.

Les needed to go.
Coach O was the wrong hire.
It is possible for both things to be true at the same time, you know. Anyways, mediocrity isn't much different from impotence.

you are ignorant if you think the majority of LSU fans want Les "Bitch" Miles to be leading the program into oblivion right now. All Orgeron did was speed up the process
