I never understood why we hired that idiot Alleva. I mean, who wanted him after the Duke disaster? And then he's managed to screw LSU football worse than the hookers at the lacrosse party.
I don't know; I gave him and the folks who selected him the benefit of the doubt, but now I just want to see him fired. And his boss, if possible.
How may were losses. 49 straight wins at home. Longest active record in football before Oeaux shit all over it. As well as the worst loss to miss st in our 130 year history and fewest points in decades. As I said every coach has close games. You just have to find ways to win them. Something Les' teams did despite how ugly. Oeaux is setting records in the wrong direction 3 games in. And he's added first ever loss to a sun belt conference team. He's still historically terrible. That's hard to do with the money and talent he's been given to work with. Coach Oeaux couldn't hold Les miles binder.
And yet 8-4 was the usual bottom. Now you're looking at 4-8. Whether you liked Les or not hiring Oeaux surely put his success in perspective overnight. You don't throw away Les' success for a historically bad hc/shrimp boat captain.
I think inside it was a solitary brick, so technically no change. Ok... it eroded, so I'll give you a decrease in weight.
Maybe...we don't really know, do we? Here's the thing, if Miles was still here this season and was having this result, it would be a no-brainer to fire him. Furthermore, firing him after putting this product on the field wouldn't seem unreasonable or trigger-happy. Many folks, coaches included, spoke out about how they were surprised Miles would be fired. I mean, he had never even come close to having a losing season. So, we looked stupid to many who might've been interested in the LSU job. So, long story short, if we were only going to hire freakin' Orgeron, we should have kept Miles--and if this exact shitshow was put on the field, he'd have been fired. Now, we're sort of stuck with a much, much worse coach, who likely cannot turn this thing around. Recruiting will suffer (it already did when Miles was fired last year), and we are going to be looking a huge rebuild.
