I listened to his presser, but his answer to the characteristic of his style at the beginning was the thesis for the rest of his comments. Don't think I've ever been more excited about a hire of any kind in any sport I have ever followed.

or, just find out who they are recruiting for QB, and go after them.

good point. He did not leave, but leveraged significantly by these situations. He got a raise he did not earn, leveraging continuously off of the 2007 Tigers.

he's a father figure/players coach to the players but he's babying them- that's why the team is so undisciplined and draws so many penalties and flags

bingo

He is not a dumb man. He must have this next guy nailed. He has had a long time to anticipate this move. Years of time to be working this behind the scene.

At first I was worried. The more i contemplate this, the more I think Alleva is going to be viewed as the savior when this all unfolds. Miles is gone. Alleva wants to be the architect of the biggest department in the Athletic Dept. He knows this will be EVERYTHING in his legacy at LSU. A chance to redeem his personal resume from the Duke situation.

I'm expecting a Gruden type of home run. Someone who will be so impressive that no one (other than the pumpers who love Miles no matter what) will question.

I'm getting excited.

Geaux Alleva. THIS IS YOUR LEGACY MOMENT!

SVP likes Miles. Heck, as a person, who wouldn't. He's a very decent man. However, we don't want just a decent man who can recruit anymore, we want a decent man who can recruit and who can speak normally and who can coach greatly.

bruh, if this has still got you this wound up, you should probably find a better hobby or you'll drop dead of a damn stroke...

I pay ~ 3k each year for 2 tickets and one parking pass. I went alone to the game, and could not get anywhere near the money I paid for the second ticket i tried to sell. I can't sell the "shite games" for even the face value. I think I should expect more of the man making 5 million/year.

Miles is exhausting. Its not about winning or losing, it is about how his teams "show up", or more recently "do not show up". Many wonder why the stadium empties early. I suspect most of these people live close by, or have plans to stay for post game tailgating. Most have long drives home. I'm one of them. I was so pissed that I left in the 4th quarter. I was on I-10 super fast and on my way home from that crap of a game. Miles is so predictable and hard-headed and the other SEC coaches are totally on to him. He will not change. He simply is incapable of changing. Saban has modified. Miles still thinks his offensive line is capable of overcoming anything the opponent provides. If "his plan', if you can call it that, does not work, he automatically points to the team for not executing the plan. He does not doubt that the plan is wrong, he calls out his team directly or indirectly for not being "tough" and for not executing the plan. Sure, in this case he claims it is his fault. But admitting that offers no hope. Did he not put his best into motivating the team to execute his plan? What the hell does he mean? His plans are poor. His special teams coach is poor. His great running back cannot execute because his plan is poor. He drains emotional gas out of the fan base to such an extent that it is not fun attending the games "too often". Where is the hope? There is none. We are an underachieving team again this year. Two years in a row we lose to freaking Ar-kansas, and 5 times in a row to the trailer trash nation. Miles needs to be held accountable, but there is no one that can do so. Alleva lost all of his willingness to do controversial things in the Duke LaCrosse mis-management. Miles has surrounding himself with yes men. It is sad. Sunshine pumpers can STTDB

I'm a Les fan. I generally support him when he's bashed on here. I think he's the most successful coach LSU has ever had. Obviously, Saban is overall a more successful coach but he didn't enjoy the same success at LSU. The point is, despite my respect and appreciation for the man, I've come to realize that he will never change. Just couldn't believe it when they asked him if he'd consider a strategy change and he was like "well we ALMOST won like 2 or 3 times so no." That shite is beyond frustrating. Lesser power 5 teams have beaten better Bama teams than this one over the past five years.

Thanks for this. Very well put.

With the best Offensive line we have had in a while. With the best running back we have had in a while.

Miles failed against Bama. For the 5th consecutive time.

Miles is the only man on the planet that seems to fail to recognize that what works against most teams, will not work against Bama.

All we can do is hope that even his level of delusion and hard-headedness will be shed.

It should be obvious, even to Miles, that the formula is broke.

The game plan (did we have one?) and philosophy and play calling MUST change.

We can only hope he will join the 5th grade girls who clearly see this now.
