    summed up Miles' tenure at LSU. After a timeout, Harris and Fournette were confused on the play call. How does that happen??

    With his job in jeopardy, Miles did absolutely nothing in preperations this week to change things up. It was the same old game plan, or lack there of, with the same mistake ridden, undisciplined team. Enough is enough. If this doesn't get him fired, then nothing will.

    I was going to start a thread that the entire 4 down series epitomizes the Les Miles era. To not try a play action fake against an 11 man front. Leaves you speechless.

    But yeah the confusion on offense. It's quite a scene, man.

    If you could freeze a moment in time to describe the post-2011 Les Miles tenure (and quite a bit of pre-2011 for that matter), you couldn't find a better one than that.

    That play was out of a timeout and those fuckwits still didn't know whose fault it was after the play was over. I don't even think the coaches know what play they called.

    The 2011 team was only saved by the best defense in college football history (at least arguably) and an elite special teams unit. The offense never was forced to anything other than play it safe except for a couple of the Bama games. Total number of points in 8 regulation quarters in those contests? 6.

    At least last year in a couple of games our defense gave us a fighting chance. 20-13 Bama OT , 10-7 Ole Miss .

    This year we make Treon Harris of Florida look like Will Grier.

    I thought JJ was back, Harris changed the play , not coaching but the player . Fournette was going where the play was called , confused would be Harris

    Another thing about this series of downs: what head coach potentially runs time off the clock by getting stopped with a running play. You're down 21 with over 8 minutes to go. Not only did he run it once, he ran it three times, running valuable time off the clock. Not that it would have probably mattered, but you do want to attempt to win the game, correct?

    That ole Les. He's a humdinger.
