Bring back less. Four yards and a cloud of dust. Can't wait.

If you don’t count the QB position , he was the best or second to best (CNS). Problem is that QB is the most important player on the field. We had Jordan Jefferson and Jaret Lee for 4 consecutive seasons bc he couldn’t find a better QB. Then , we had a walk on transfer from Harvard his last year bc the two previous recruits could not hit the broadside of a barn. But damn, he could keep it two deep at every other position including punter.

We played most of the season with fewer than 60 scholarship players and without 20/22 starters from the 2019 team and even some of their backups.


You act like there was external pressure applied that no other championship team before had to endure.

There was no probation. There was no scandal. There was the Pandemic--some teams(ahem) held it together much better than LSU.

Part of the coaches job is culture, retention, and roster management. Bama has been dealing with early departures and coaching turnover too. I'm guessing we finish above 500 next year.

QB and LB were nearly empty when he finally got canned.

With LSU in a death spiral, we can appreciate how well Miles was at roster management and hiring coaches. Can't believe LSU went from Aranda to some random DB coach.


Granted, our D coordinator search was a shite show. Quick reminder, your head coaching search was worse.

If I remember correctly, he wanted JaMarr Chase to play DB.

Watch out now, I'll have you know Auburn hired a HC with the 3rd best winning percentage in the entire nation.

there were more fullbacks on the roster than scholarship wide receivers.


To be fair, that sounds appropriate for Les Miles’ style of offense.

If he was good at hiring coaches, he wouldn't have been fired for Orgeron...
