Agreed.

I believe Myles already knew he was on a short leash this year.

Can't come in with a team like that and start 2-2 (damn near 1-3, Mississippi St nearly beat them). Especially when those two losses were to less talented teams than them in Wisconsin and Auburn. You also kinda have to put it on him that they haven't had good QB play. I don't know a single LSU fan who is upset by this move. Most of them are just upset it didn't happen last year when they almost fired him then.

Great players coach, but like Shanahan, his football philosophy has passed him by. He was never a coach who could coach a QB. His success came from players who Saban recruited.

I don't disagree. I just don't think he's a bad coach or recruiter. Saban didn't recruit all of that NFL talent. Les did too.

No, he's not a bad coach or recruiter, but I think his time at LSU ran its course. I'd love to have him at Mississippi State if we lose Mullen.

The theory of why Miles was removed from LSU. (according to Dan Patrick)

http://lsu.247sports.com/Bolt/Dan-Pa...Miles-47789231

"What I was told (Sunday) afternoon, they didn’t want Les Miles to win his job back,” Patrick said. “If you don’t fire him and he all the sudden win six in a row, you can’t fire him. They felt like they wanted to get out ahead of this and you’re going to have this open market here. You can already say to these candidates, ‘we’ve got the job here for you’ or 'that's your job' and you want to be able to recruit as well.

"But LSU fans got their wish. Les Miles is gone."

It was time last year. But, with any major program, the new guy won't have much leeway.

I really like Les Miles.

Duke on top of UVA early 7-0.

I heard a rumor but dont know how accurate it is that Miles is going to coach Kentucky next year.

13-10 uva

Yes!!!!

TD Cavs! 20-10 now.

27-13 Uva

27-20 in the 4th.

Goddamn Mendenhall is so predictable on offense. Duke to get the ball back. Oh, and they fake the punt and dont get it. So ******* stupid, can we get London back?

Colorado doing well.

You'll like him even more when he goes to UK.

I want Hurd, I like Chubb, I like Kamara, I like Machele. I'd even take Hobbs and move him to RB (and force him to get fake eyebrows).
