Keep Les...extend his contract....Roll Tide!!!!!
Should have ousted him last season.
This answers the ? of who is the better coach. It's the guy at bama.
Now how much are the tax payers of La. going to fork over for miles to go eat grass.
I've never been able to understand peoples emotional tie to LSU football....or any other sport. It's game and it's for entertainment.

It is unfortunate that he was fired.
The writing was on the wall last Fall... Perfect performance or hit the door. Totally unreasonable expectations placed on him/team results.
I expect him to have a new job by the end of January if not the end of the season.
I can see some of the arguments that LSU's failures to produce great results are Miles' fault/responsibility. However, QB performance, heck actual performance by any/all player(s) on the field, is out of the control of the coach at the time plays are being made/not made. But SOMEONE HAS TO BE BLAMED... so it is often the coach who is blamed when the reality is the players simply did not perform.
I agree that some of the play calling and clock management issues must be 90% or more Miles' responsibility alone. However, if you review the plays made and not made by his players over time, LSU has repeatedly been handicapped/hamstrung by individual player performances. Blame the coach for lack of preparation? That's the easy way out. If a player doesn't perform in the clutch, that's on him, not the coach.
I would hire Miles tomorrow if I were an AD anywhere else... for as little money as I could get him for or as much as I had to pay (within reason of course). I happen to think he's a better coach than Saban; he certainly has more integrity.
The match up was hyped and pushed by the sports media.
