LSU needs to save itself now, remove MilesFans need to keep in mind this isn’t the first time Miles has bewildered us with wacky game management and eccentric play calling. Tennessee game in 2005? Auburn game in 2007? Remember the Georgia game earlier this year? We couldn’t even get a field goal off at the end of the first half! Last night, however, was the most severe by far of all the gaffes Miles has committed.In the past two seasons, Les Miles has an SEC record of 7-8. Yeah, that’s 7 victories and 8 losses. Miles is 0-7 in the past two seasons against Florida, Alabama, Ole Miss and Arkansas. It’s a legitimate question that should be asked — are we still a dominant football program?So, what needs to be done about this? Do we shrug this off, ignore it and allow Miles to keep plodding along? Are Alleva, TAF and the other big money boosters at LSU simply going to sit around for years, like Tennessee and Miami did, and wait until this program has officially been driven into the ground before making a move?If so, we’re entering a new era of LSU football, Tiger fans. And I don’t think many are going to be happy with the outcome.Chris Thompsonbiological sciences sophomore—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s opinion staff at [email protected]
