UPDATE, 3:35 P.M.: Les Miles is out as football coach at LSU, and so is his offensive coordinator.Multiple sources told The Advocate that Miles and Cam Cameron were fired Sunday, a day after LSU, ranked No. 5 in the preseason Top 25, fell to 2-2 with an 18-13 loss at Auburn. It's the worst start to a season since Miles took over in 2005.
Defensive line coach Ed Orgeron will be LSU’s interim coach. The decision to oust Cameron and Miles was made Sunday afternoon in a discussion involving LSU athletic director Joe Alleva, school president F. King Alexander and other university leaders.
ETA: You beat me by seconds.

Long overdue. The dumb part is he would have been retained had the touchdown not been overturned. Like that one play would have suddenly made them a contender...

Just heard it during the pro game. Mid-season firings are counterproductive. Les's time was up there but they should have waited until the end of the year.

So who's on the short list? Herman, Petrino, Kiffin? Do they dare entertain the idea of Art Briles? This will be an interesting search and hire, to be sure.

Well I hear the grass tastes better on the other side. Does anyone know what his buy-out is?

What is surprising is the play he will be tied to upon his firing. Game over, LSU wins........oh wait a second.

This was Tuberville 2.0. The LSU admin so bungled his buyout last that that even people that wanted him fired came to his defense. Psychology. Once that bunch came back to the their senses, it was just a matter of time. Too much money and power at these schools to prevent them from not getting their way. Miles did, and is why he is fired 3 weeks into the season. He was in reality fired last year.
