Les Miles reveals what truly bothered him about firing rumors

Alleva took the stand and emphatically confirmed that Les Miles will remain the coach of the LSU Tigers.

In an incredible scene following the win, Tigers players carried Miles off the field as the crowd chanted “Keep Les Miles!”.

Moments after running back Leonard Fournette set an LSU season rushing record to snap the reeling Tigers’ three-game losing streak with a 19-7 victory over Texas A&M, LSU coach Les Miles found out in the locker room that he would remain the coach for the 2016 season.

“A serious overhaul of the offense, does that include Leonard Fournette?” Despite the success, fans and the Tiger Athletic Foundation (TAF) questioned whether Miles was capable of leading the Tigers in the future.

“Coming off the field into the press conference last night, the feeling was that we just watched the end of the movie”, said Charles Hanagriff, Sports Director for The Eagle 98.1.

“We couldn’t let that get in the way of what we had to do”, Jones said. Fournette became the first LSU rusher to eclipse the 1,700 yard mark in a season with 1,741 yards.

Facing a defense that matched up well with them for the first time in November, LSU wasted no time moving the ball and getting on the board.

“We just buckled down this week”, said linebacker Deion Jones, who led LSU with 11 tackles and had a half-sack.

LSU quarterback Brandon Harris 7 of 21 attempts for 83 yards.

LSU-Texas A&M will be replayed twice on the SEC Network this week: at 12 a.m. Wednesday and at 2:30 a.m. Thursday. If the Tigers can successfully implement a more competitive offensive system and limit mistakes, they will assuredly be in contention for the playoffs next season. Instead, he waited until he knew he’d be cast as the bad guy by fans if he made the decision to cut Miles loose to say the coach was staying. We are a pretty talented football team.

On the ensuing kickoff, the much maligned special teams play for LSU enjoyed a rare bright spot when Devin Voorhies forced Christian Kirk to fumble at the Texas A&M 19.

The Tigers (8-3) added field goals of 32 and 38 yards by Trent Domingue, but Domingue missed three others from 25, 50 and 46 yards. Allen highlighted the 80-yard drive in seven plays with a 47-yard completion to wide receiver Josh Reynolds.

The Tigers’ defense forced a punt after the Aggies’ first three plays and promptly moved into A&M territory on a short pass from Harris to Fournette, who rambled for 20 yards.

With the pass attack struggling, Texas A&M rattled off six consecutive runs to reach the LSU 31.

“We needed it. We wanted it, and we got it. Coach Miles deserved it. We love him to death”. Then that recruiting class that we all want to be here doesn’t come.
