Believe it or not I'm sitting in line at the Hollywood casino buffet talking to Paul Ditzel. While talking about the upcoming game he mentioned how he hasn't liked how the Jarret Lee situation has been handled. Please know that im not trying to flame about the situation either way, I just thought that his insight was interesting.

I didn't realize that Paul Dietzel was coaching our team this year, going to practice everyday, watching game film, breaking down every snap, etc...

He is a great guy. Of course some of our posters don't feel that an LSU legend should be able to have an opinion if it conflicts with what they think. Saban will be held in high esteem later down the road. I still can't believe that there are still people mad a Paul D.

They didn't have any black players on the 1958 team, FWIW.

Piss on Dietzel. Tell him to hike his butt back to West Point and leave the coaching to Les.

How about the way Pepsodent Paul treated Mac in 1979? Screw Dietzel.

With all due respect to coach Dietzel, the game has evolved, he is NOT in the coach's circle (while he may get some inside peeks), and he old/senile.

Besides, many consider him a Benedict Arnold......so, consider the source.

It's crazy that idiotic LSU fans would show so much hate for a man like Dietzel for offering his personal opinions at a random encounter with a fan. Just more proof that the CFB world is a fricked up circus these days.

In any case, there is 0% doubt in my mind that Les Miles acted wrongly over this whole QB controversy. There really is no possible justification for how it played out, and all the word games and leaked rumors just added to the stench of it.

I've always loved Les Miles, and I guess I still do, but he acted like a complete pussy leading up to that Bama game, and we had a horrendous offensive performance as a result. No undefeated season is ever going to remove the stink of that.

Can we get a little context here? If I had to guess, I'd wager you brought up the Lee issue...

He would probably say the same thing no matter how he actually feels. He knows that lots of "fans" are butthurt about the Lee issue, and so said the thing that would keep a potential drunken idiot at the casino buffet from whining his ear off.

...Then again, he coached LSU when the team was still segregated, so he might be upset about it for the same reason you are?

I do not have any respect for Dietzel. He turned his back on the Tigers, to pursue a "bigger name school (Army). Screw him!

this thread should be zapped. I'm quite sure Dietzel didn't mean for a comment like that to end up on a message board. This board should have too much respect for him to allow something like that, even if true, which I am sure it is.
