I don't always agree with Les Miles but I respect him and I am glad he is our coach. Do I wish he wasn't so stubborn and would quit trying to pound a square peg into a round hole sometimes? Absolutely. Do I wish he could figure out how to develop QB's better than he has and is doing right now? Absolutely.

But when you read things like this it continues to prove to people what kind of man Les Miles is, and as an alumni of LSU I could not be prouder to say he is our Head Coach. Les Miles I salute you!

quote:

But for the Nov. 27 game between LSU and Texas A&M in College Station, Scout came for the pregame and made fast friends with LSU coach Les Miles.
"Les Miles talked to her for, no joke, maybe 30 minutes before the game," said Ponder, 28. "He loves kids and has kids of his own. She spit up and he was wiping her face. He was amazing. I was interviewing him a couple of hours before kickoff and my mom was standing off to the side holding Scout. He comes up to me, points and says, 'Is that your daughter?' I said, 'Yeah.' He said, 'Bring her over. Isn’t this so much better than the job?' He is just one of those coaches that sees the big picture and it was just really cool to talk to [him] about family and having a perspective beyond football."

Nobody here doubts Les isn't a great man. I can't speak for everyone, but many of us here do question his coaching limitations. We wonder why our offense is a struggle almost every year, and how finding a decent QB who can throw slants is so few and far between for us.

This is why I want him to succeed so much more than any other coach but he seems to disappointment us every day since Jan 9 2012

He's good with kids. That's great.

How does this help us win football games exactly?

Never seen anyone on this board say he was a bad man. Just not a great coach.

Are you sure that he's a coach? I'm starting to think that he's a guidance counselor.

He is totally a nice guy. So nice that I would like to reward him by paying him to stand on the sideline and to not have any responsibilities as far as offense and defense goes. In fact, he doesn't even have to sit on the sidelines. I would favor buying him a "coach's luxury box" and let him watch every home game on comfort.

Yes because we pay him 4.3 million a year for daddy day care.

The percentage of downvotes on the opening post is astonishing.

There are about 2 million men in Louisiana who would have been happy to spend thirty minutes with a cute little baby... so maybe the downvoters, myself included, are stating that there's nothing special in what he did and it's not really worthy of a mention. Otherwise, Les is truly wearing out his welcome.

that's exactly the kind of shite that gets you fired as a head coach
