Athletic director Joe Alleva apparently was watching.

Those are the first three words that come to mind regarding this topic.
And he’s getting heavy pressure from boosters because he has lost three games in a row?
Yet their unhappiness seems totally unwarranted at this point.
Thus far, Miles is 110-32 at LSU, and will finish with a winning percentage above.750, which stands at.
Head coach Kevin Sumlin obviously made uniforms a priority, and I think they’re fun for the players and fans.
Asked what it felt like to be carried off the field – especially not knowing his fate – Miles said, “Scary”. Then that recruiting class that we all want to be here doesn’t come.
Miles has won, there’s no disputing that. “We have talked about this program and we are committed together to working to win and compete at the highest level”. Any coach. And there’s a lot of them this year. Who are they going to get?
The rumor sweeping through sports media is that Florida State coach and former LSU assistant coach Jimbo Fisher is the preferred candidate to replace the Hatter.
“I want to make it very clear that Les Miles is our football coach and he’ll continue to be our football coach”, Alleva said.
Add in the fact that Fisher himself told the president of the university that he does not plan to take another job, as reported by the Palm Beach Post, and LSU can not count on making him its next coach.
Whitworth was a 6-foot-7, 325-pound, first team All-SEC offensive tackle as a junior in 2004 whom Miles inherited when he became LSU’s coach on January 1, 2005. That has been because the Tigers’ passing attack has stalled more than started this season.
Texas A&M wide receiver Christian Kirk just might be the most dynamic freshman in the country. Leonard Fournette broke the century mark again, and A&M is still 0-for-LSU since joining the SEC.
“I’m not (ready to answer) any of those questions, but I’m going to look at the statistics and do studies and make quality decisions”, Miles said.
Numerous sources out of Baton Rouge say that the university is likely to fire the school’s winningest football coach. The SEC record for single-season rushing yards was set in 1981 by Herschel Walker of Georgia (1,891).
The Miles situation could be enough of a distraction to give A&M an advantage. Even if that were to occur, the Rebels would need to win the Egg Bowl against a determined Mississippi State team to secure the trip to Atlanta. “He is our coach, and I wish him well”.

Texas A&M squandered a chance to widen its lead when Allen was sacked and stripped by Kendell Beckwith on the LSU 13, with the Tigers’ Devon Godchaux recovering. While LSU’s rushing attack has taken a significant step backwards due to injuries, Texas A&M’s run defense is among the worst in college football, giving Fournette a tremendous opportunity to break Alexander’s record.
