LSU Head Coach Les Miles May be in Trouble

He's one of four freshmen in the FBS with three 100-yard receiving games this season.

Pinkel said he doesn't want to consider what his emotions will be Saturday. There were no wrinkles from Arkansas' defensive line. "If a play started wider, we wanted to make it go even wider just to get more hats to the party". "They have a coach they love and respect".

LSU head coach Les Miles is reportedly coaching for his job in the Tigers final two games of their season.

A loss to Ole Miss following a 17-point defeat at home against rival Arkansas and a bitter defeat at Alabama would give LSU three losses in SEC play this season. They've dropped a couple of games since, and fallen out of the national championship race.

There are other connections between the LSU and Ole Miss staffs. LSU recruiting coordinator/running backs coach Frank Wilson was the running backs and special teams coach at Ole Miss with Orgeron and Freeze from 2005-07. With a healthy supporting cast, I expect Kelly to get his due vs. a talented Tiger defense.

It's an interesting ploy by Miles, which likely will stoke the proverbial fire of those slated to attend the contest. I think it is proven. Conversely, if Miles is kicked to the curb, the 62-year-old coach will have no problem finding gainful employment if he so desires.

"The discussion, now fanned by the media, is in my opinion ridiculous and harmful to LSU in lots of ways", Weems said.

If Miles is fired before January 1 without cause, the university will owe him $15 million, payable over eight years, according to Rabalais.

Rabalais goes on to say that, in perhaps the most damning indication that Miles could be in trouble, "major boosters, big financial boosters of the program" are no longer congregated en masse in Miles' corner. The team has gone 5-1 since with two scintillating overtime wins over Auburn and Ole Miss along the way, and last week it came up with its best performance of the season - considering the opponent - rocking LSU 31-14.

Ole Miss (7-3) was the preseason projection to sport the top defense in the SEC but it has been Hugh Freeze's offense that has shined. "There's no question trying to determine how to manage that was new to me". Game time temperatures are expected to be in the low-fifties.

"I hope they're not in a slump", Miles said. Maybe not. We'll see.

"There's no doubt this week we've had an extra burst in practice". After shooting to third in the nation in October, Ole Miss' psyche was struggling after losses to Florida, Memphis and, most recently, Arkansas. Next season the Rebels have an open date after five games and before playing at Arkansas. One of quarterback Brandon Allen's favorite targets has been Reed, who has scored a touchdown pass in six straight games, including an impressive 52-yard catch and sprint for a score against LSU last week. He's led the Tigers to a bowl game in every season and never finished with a record worse than 8-5. He noted that the coach's offensive philosophy, which has left the team throwing the lowest percentage of passes in the SEC, is a "big issue".

When Dale continued to comment negatively on Stoops' lack of player development and poor decision-making, the radio show's producer started to cut off the caller, but the coach stopped him. "I can take it".

Miles was asked Wednesday night if these next two games are any different than any other stretch he has faced in his career.
