Entering the season as a College Football Playoff contender, the LSU Tigers have disappointed as of late, losing three games in a row (to Alabama, Arkansas, and Ole Miss, respectively) by fairly wide margins. Kelly threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns, completing 19 of 34 passes. That hefty fee may be enough to prevent LSU officials from firing the veteran head coach, but there is speculation that it probably will not. In a year where even Bret Bielema has embraced a pass-oriented offense, Miles’s prehistoric power-run scheme is wearing thin among LSU fans. LSU finished 3-8, and Gerry DiNardo was sacked. The defense did just that as they held the Heisman hopeful to 108 rushing yards on 25 carries.

LSU got the ball right back on the kickoff when Tigers’ tailback Nick Brossette tackled Jaylen Walton, who fumbled it over to LSU linebacker Donnie Alexander at the Ole Miss 25.
True, the Tigers has seen their SEC record decline from year-to-year since 2011, but Miles has also led them to a. 774 winning percentage over the past 11 seasons. Ole Miss is still technically alive to win the SEC West but would need to win out and have Alabama lose to Auburn in their final game of the season.
“He’s not as far along as what I’d like for him to be”, Briles said Wednesday. “Certainly have lost some on-field chemistry”. True freshman Toby Weathersby replaced him. It was Domingue’s first miss of the season after starting 10 for 10. And these queries won’t just be related to decision making during the third quarter against Ole Miss, but man will that be a focal point.
“The University of Mississippi Police Department is aware of the video of an incident taking place at the Ole Miss-LSU football game”. Offsetting unsportsmanlike penalties were called on the play.
After the game, Miles himself looked as if he knew his time was up by the way he talked about arriving at LSU 11 years ago, he sounded and looked like a beaten man.
After Saturday’s loss to Ole Miss, the Mad Hatter told reporters that he was going to address the team about the increasing chatter concerning his future in Baton Rouge.

Since the 8-0 SEC season in 2011, though, LSU has fallen in the SEC to 6-2, 5-3, 4-4 and now is 4-2. On Saturday they showed out once again and upset the No. 15 LSU Tigers on senior day in Vaught Hemingway Stadium. Lsu Tigers recorded 156.9 passing yards and 310.3 rushing yards while allowed 222.1 passing yards and 93.7 russhing yards with turnover differential of -1.0.
