Les Miles On The "Boos" Heard In Tigers Stadium

When did we change the name to "Tigers Stadium"?

Token, stfu. You must not have watched Harris confused as hell every time he took the field until the Moo St game. Yes Harris had more up side, but he was calling the wrong plays and missing reads all I've the place. Until Harris got a grasp of things, Jennings was the better choice. As Harris figures out the offense, he will be the man. If you can't see that Jennings needed to start in the meantime, you may add well go watch rugby. Harris was not ready. He stepped into his own on Saturday, and I hope he continues.

Says the guy that played JJ the entire game in the national championship? The fans were never given an explanation and people didn't pay 2-3k to go down to New Orleans? If he thinks people are going to watch anything close to that debacle unfold again he is crazy.

Also, Miles knew the reaction that starting Jennings again would bring and no the fans were not booing Jennings. They are booing the decision because it's been established since the fall game that Harris was the man. He can spin it anyway he wants but the BEST 11 have not been playing on offense and defense for that matter.

Now, with all that said I am a Coach Miles supporter. I give the benefit of the doubt to the staff on almost every decision but let's not act like Harris didn't win the QB spot a long time ago.

Teenagers playing with a ball people. Seriously. At what point do we actually make the move to grow up? None of these players have anything on their minds but doing the absolute best they can in front of a packed house of family and friends and on TV. Get some perspective. Difficulty? Volunteer to feed children in the third world and see what we all should be booing. Hunger... Real like stuff.

He should be just as upset at those who can't seem to stay for most of the game.

For those who choose to boos the players, I only have one example to say: try to think about the time when you were little kids and even though you gave it all you have and sometimes you were still not capable of doing something right. When that happened, what did your parents say to you? Did they boo you for not talented or smart enough? Or do they pad you on the back and say "good try!". I mean, there is really no difference in this situation. These are still kids who are learning to play football, who are committed to this university, give us all they have, play their hearts out, and try to win games for us. For whatever it is worth, they do not deserve to be booed by their own fan for "trying to win" just because they are not talented or good enough. Even in the adults world where people are being paid to get the job done, I don't think anyone would appreciate a boss or colleague who boo you or mock you whenever you drop the ball. Nobody deserves to be treated that way.

I also agree that the boos where for the coaches or folks making the decisions on the field, the sloppy play period. The play calls and just the way this team has been performing on the field. I also do not agree with booing players, but like I said I don't think it was meant for the players but the adults guiding these players.

The 2nd quote is spot on. I wasn't booing because I didn't want it to be interpreted as not liking Jennings. I think he's a great team player and I likeable guy, but I really wanted some way to voice my disdain for Miles' decision. The tiger rant needs to come up with a substitute to make it clear we're talking to Miles, not Jennings. Whether you support Miles' decisions or not, I think we can all agree there is a better alternative to booing out there
