Fisher, 50, coached at LSU from 2000-06 as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, first for Nick Saban and then for Miles.

However, the “who will you get” syndrome applies here. “Can’t really run from it”.
There is no doubt LSU hasn’t been at the same level in recent years. Rumors like these surrounding losing streaks in major college football programs are common, but the idea of LSU dropping Les is completely insane.
Players weren’t removed from the noise.
Miles was asked if he met with administrators or athletic department officials about his job. “Those two things in the same division of the same conference have hurt him because he hasn’t measured up recently”, ESPN analysts said.
That message wasn’t always well-received. “He doesn’t want that to affect our performance”.
“I’m like George Foreman”, Bowden said then. “He said it’s something he’s going to deal with”.
The short answer is: LSU pays Miles millions of dollars to win football games, and LSU isn’t doing enough of that right now. The Tigers also returned to the BCS title game in 2011 after securing their second SEC title under Miles’ watch, but they were shut down by Alabama.

The Tigers have lost three straight for the first time since he arrived in 2005. I trust the ones I do.
“To me I look at it as a positive”, he said. It was business as usual, Clapp said. It’s better because he re-ignited the boosters to start giving at a much higher level than they had been and to join modern college football. “Had the same schedule”. Will Mark Richt be coaching his last game as Georgia’s head coach on Saturday when the Bulldogs play Georgia Tech in Atlanta?
“That’s not our situation”. LSU is “prepared to part ways” with Miles, sources told yahoo.com’s Pat Forde.
We know Jimbo loves Louisiana and LSU. He worries about us, and that’s what we love about him.
