Les Miles fired....

[GetEmVols]

Dunno why people are happy about this.. if LSU gets a coach they will dominate.

 

[LSU-SIU]

Herman will take it if offered imo. Dunno if they can afford what petrino will be asking. Also orgeron could possibly take over

That is what I've heard for awhile now.

 

[jlindsa4]

Just to put this stupidity in context, let's look at Miles' record:

11-2 (7-1)
11-2 (6-2)
12-2 (6-2) * National Champions
8-5 (3-5)
9-4 (5-3)
11-2 (6-2)
13-1 (8-0) * National Runner Up
10-3 (6-2)
10-3 (6-3)
8-5 (4-4)
9-3 (5-3)
2-2 (1-1) * Fired

7-4 in bowl games.

Just plain ol' dumb. Bear Bryant went 6-5 for a stretch. The General himself went 5-something and 4-4 after coming back before turning the ship around.

I thought LSUis 1-3 right now.

 

[rockyvols]

Yeah same here. Just kind of figure they would have to pay petrino more than what les was getting.

 

[Boston Vol]

I thought LSUis 1-3 right now.

No 2-2. Losses to Wisconsin and Auburn.

 

[LA vol7]

If LSU gets the right coach they are a juggernaut to be reckoned with the likes of Alabama. I'm happy today for the LSU fans. They deserve better than Les Miles. His press conference after getting beat by Auburn was a joke!

 

[bnhunt]

They won't settle for him. And that would be what it is.

Agreed. You don't fire your most successful HC in history to hire Ed Orgeron.

 

[LSU-SIU]

I thought LSUis 1-3 right now.

2-2 (lost to Wisconsin and Auburn)

Both games should have been very much winnable with this personnel. imo

What did he say?

 

[Voltopia]

I thought LSUis 1-3 right now.

Nope, 2-2. Mississippi State and then some other thing that counts as a W.

They won't go through a stretch like Tennessee did because of the in-state talent. They could be doomed for a period where they do no better than 8-5 or something like that.

 

[508mikey]

I'd be more than shocked if Petrino ever leaves Louisville again.

That Houston vs Louisville game will decide alot of things --- It wouldnt surprise me to see Louisville beat Clemson either

 

[SandoVOL]

I think it's a bold move, especially in September. But LSU knows what they want and LM wasn't meeting that expectation. I like the statement.

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

This is like us firing Fulmer. They might not be relevant again for a long time after this.

 

[TNnative]

Art Briles to Baton Rouge.

 

[LSU-SIU]

They won't go through a stretch like Tennessee did because of the in-state talent. They could be doomed for a period where they do no better than 8-5 or something like that.

I think LSU was heading for a 4-6 lost season.... that is not horrible in a vacuum, but it is horrible with the personnel.

 

[OrangeUTopia]

Well, rather them than Bama.

 

[theutvolunteers]

Well, rather them than Bama.

Strong LSU is bad for UF and Bama.

 

[SandoVOL]

Well, rather them than Bama.

Agreed

 

[Boston Vol]

If they hire a big fish there won't be any drop off. If we had hired Gary Patterson in 2008 we'd have been fine.

 

[LSU-SIU]

Depends on the coach.... the key is to keep in state recruits.

 

[Lane Train 4]

I don't understand firing him so early in the season. Why not just wait until after the season?

 

[zeppelin128]

I don't care what they do as long as they beat Florida.

 

[508mikey]

2-2 (lost to Wisconsin and Auburn)

Both games should have been very much winnable with this personnel. imo

No QB -- Fournette cant do it all alone --- i wonder if he might even play again this season after what happened to Chubb yesterday --- why risk his NFL payday for a team going to a low tier bowl

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

If they hire a big fish their won't be any drop off. If we had hired Gary Patterson in 2008 we'd have been fine.

Well then I hope they hire Lane, because I WANT LSU to be irrelevant.
