LSU football coach Les Miles was almost fired after last season but he managed to come back for the 2016 campaign. But even though this season is young, Miles is already facing heavy pressure in the media and from fans on Twitter and beyond.

The fire Les Miles movement gained momentum after LSU’s heartbreaking 18-13 last-minute loss to a struggling Auburn team Saturday night.
