folks agitated By Bobby Hebert's rant have gone on rants of their own about him being a bad journalist.

Bobby Hebert isn't a journalist. Being a member of the media is not analogous to being a journalist. Bobby Hebert is a color commentator/former college and NFL qb. His persona has always been the blunt crazy cajun... that oh by the way has played QB in the NFL for 10+ years. That makes his opinion different from the other crazy cajuns and angry parents (although T-Bob wasn't at issue and didn't come up in his rant). It makes his opinion really quite meaningful.

Les Miles is practically NEVER challenged publicly. Mostly because he rarely deserves to be. But when he has screwed up, people with the nerve to not sugar coat things are either filtered out by the likes of Kevin Ford and Hawthorne and Jordy, or they are not given the platform to publicly to do so.

Bobby Hebert was completely dead on. It was "RIDICULOUS". Even though Les Miles didn't give a meaningful response and never ever will - he needed to be finally called out by someone other than a monday morning qb calling into AM radio as Miles remains oblivious. In fact, a former pro-bowl NFL qb talking to his face for all to hear.

If only he had done that earlier....say against Georgia when JJ had 30 yards passing maybe CLM would have gotten his head out of his arse. 83 yds passing in 2 games is "RIDICULOUS" and dumbfounding and it makes CLM look like a total failure to come this far and blow it. Thank you Bobby Hebert for stepping up and calling him out publicly. He needs to be humbled. I think all the hype has gone to his head.

A specious argument.
He is supposed to be professional at the very least.
For the record, I agree with his position.

it needed to be said.

yes, i've heard all the talking heads and media types crying about "wrong place-wrong time". you know what? media types are the only ones that give a dam about that. i'm glad it was said, and in the national spotlight too. maybe Miles' ego was brought down a peg enough to realize, even if he, the "coach of the year", thinks one player or game plan is the best fit, if its not working, fuking change it dipshit.

GERKIN====you are on target. It is incomprehensible that Jordon was not replace. Shoot make the center QB, but make a change. The coach must hate Lee and that is too bad. As to Herbert jounalistic credentials-=-right and today more of the announcers of sports and news are not qualified journeys.

Although I might not have rambled as much, he asked Les what I wish I could have. He deserved to be called out.

Bobby is right about trying to run against an 8 man front but JJ cannot make the throws

The only people complaining about it are other media members who think themselves to be a special class of citizen. I've met a ton of sports media people and so many if them act as if they are celebrities. Get over yourself people. You cover sports for a living. You don't make blockbuster movies.

Then again it is a personality type. Media folk. Not so much the writers such as magazine guys or newspaper guys but the television people. It's tge look at me personality. Primadonnas. Every last one of them.

Others who are bothered by Bobby are those in the fanbase who are angered when anything ill is spoken of their boy Lester.

They've been upset by much less since his arrival.
