Perrilloux needs to go now

Three suspensions equal expulsion. If LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux's behavior has warranted three suspensions in the last 10 months, including two indefinite suspensions, that should be enough.

If LSU coach Les Miles keeps Perrilloux now, he will regret that decision sooner or later. Miles is deciding as we speak and will be deciding in the coming days and perhaps weeks what he should do with Perrilloux. He has suspended other players, looked closer at their situations and then kicked them off the team. That's what he needs to do with Perrilloux.

This is actually the perfect time to see if Perrilloux can have more success at another school. When you consider all the problems and aggravation Perrilloux has caused for Miles, his coaches, the players and fans, LSU has been fortunate to get what it has gotten out of Perrilloux. He helped the team win a national championship. Without Perrilloux, LSU does not beat Tennessee in the SEC championship game to get to the national title game. My advice is for LSU not to get too greedy. Don't tempt fate. Cut bait.

Perrilloux has also gotten a lot out of LSU. His two starts and spot play in the 2007 season could help earn him a spot at a new school. He is now a known and somewhat proven commodity - good and bad. A fresh start far him away from his home, where he has a counterfeit history, and from some of the people he hangs with would be the best thing for the talented dual-action quarterback.

If LSU moves on without Perrilloux now, it will not risk wasting time with other quarterbacks and wasting other players' and coaches' time. If Perrilloux works with the team in spring practice and again in August, then does something else stupid and is kicked off the team, then LSU will have wasted months.

The time to start anew with a fresh batch of quarterbacks is now. LSU is coming off a national championship. It will not have exceedingly high expectations next season, considering the key losses on offense and a few on defense. Next season is the perfect time to work in a new quarterback like redshirt freshman Jarrett Lee.

It's time for Miles to rid himself of a constant headache.

Agree 100%. Not to get rid of him sets a bad example for the rest of the team. My biggest complaint about Miles has been the lack of discipline on the team (LSU was one of the most penalized teams?). Hate to see it, but we can do without Imperilloux.

Miles' rep is on the line!

Guilbeau, you are joking that one man is responsible for winning us the conference title this year, right?

Matt Mauck 2001, off the bench. Which LSU and Tenn was better, the '01 teams or '07 teams?

Quit pandering to a guy who has been told he is the greatest...that's a big part of his problem.
