Twitter explodes with news of Les Miles getting fired at LSU
Just one day after losing in heartbreaking fashion on the road at Auburn, LSU has decided to pull the plug on the Les Miles era after 12 years.
The move shocked many in the immediate aftermath of the news. Here is a collection of some of the reactions from around Twitter after the news was announced:
Les Miles officially out at LSU. Okay, who does LSU get? Herman, Jimbo, Petrino, Briles? I'd think it will be one of those four.

Ed Orgeron is gonna go into the Hall of Fame as the best interim coach of all time

Since we reported Ed O will be interim HC at LSU I’ve had 5 coaches text me saying: Hope O gets the job permanently https://t.co/ppxU2DejiV

When I said LSU could do worse than Les Miles, that included Ed Orgeron.

With Miles gone, every SEC program has changed HCs at least once since Saban was hired at Alabama in 2007.

It is my hope that the next 8 games will be a real audition for Ed Orgeron.
