re: A Memo to Coach Les Miles - an appeal to show CHARACTER

It could also be as simple as Lee blasted off on Miles behind closed doors about not playing him enough, or not giving him another chance in the first Bama game, and that made Miles question whether he was the right guy.

See, that's an alternate to your view, and is not some conspiracy or a knock on anyone's character.

First, the issue regarding character was one the OP brought up. If you haven't read the original post which started this thread...you know, the one that got me involved in this debate, I suggest you do so. I've defended this point because I see no reason to question Miles character for not playing a player which is what the OP did.

As for your hypothesis...why pull that out of your arse? We have absolutely NO evidence that ANYTHING other than the coach's assessment of ability has gone into this decision...do we? why must we assume that it HAS TO BE some personal issue, be it large or small, that was preventing Miles from seeing exactly what so many fans saw in Lee? Can he not have simply made this decision based on what he thought were his players' strengths and gone with it...rightly or wrongly?

It's not about wanting an apology,

Look around just on the first page of The Rant. It clearly is for some.

I wonder what he said to Lee, or what Lee said to him.

I'd be curious to know if anything was said, but to even suggest such a thing makes it sound like Miles would be doing some sort of apology to Lee or that Lee would have had some choice words for Les.

to be honest, I've going to go with Occum's Razor on this topic...just no reason to pull a hypothetical personal reason out of thin air when a simpler one is there to see...regardless of whether or not fans agree with it.
