LSU and college football fans react to Les Miles being fired
The college football world was met with a shock on Sunday, as LSU fired Les Miles. While the news itself wasn't surprising -- he was on the hot seat dating back to last year -- the timing was. Just a day after the Tigers' second loss of the season, LSU administration didn't give Les time to coach his way out of this mess. He's gone.
And with it, the reaction poured in from across the internet. Despite the disappointing end, much of it was positive.
Regardless of how you feel about Miles as a coach, a part of that program died today. #LSU #LesMiles.

I'm in shock right now. I'm hoping I wake up tomorrow and this news about @LSUCoachMiles isn't real.
