Bo Bounds Bashing Les Miles

Lot of you may not have heard of him, but he is on the morning show in the Jackson area, and of course being in Jackson he is a big-time State/OM homer.
That said, he has been on a crusade for the last week or so how LF should sit out next year, and that LES MILES is known for destroying/overusing running backs, and he will wear LF down to a nub before he leaves LSU. This is a daily thing....Miles is 1970's Michigan and does it every year relying on one back and overusing him....that Les isn't worried about his future....just worried about winning games....and that LF a fool if he doesn't sit out next year.
Now I haven't done the research, but I believe I'm correct in saying that the NFL GM's love LSU running backs BECAUSE Les doesn't overuse them, and he has always rotated a lot. In fact, that was a pitch for opposing teams to land LF...the fact that Miles will rotate backs and not use him enough to win the Heisman.
Granted, Miles has used him a lot so far....and I'm sure they would have liked to only run him 10-12 times against EM......but last year he was underused. To me it's one thing to not know what you are talking about, as Bo clearly doesn't here...but to start a platform against a coach on something that isn't true is quite a different level of incompetence.
I think Bo is just upset that he eliminated LSU from SEC contention prior to the season, and declared one of State/OM the leading contenders to win the SEC. Me thinks he is jealous and I doubt Bo is wanting to have his teams face LF again next year......lol

You are correct. Call the show and set this dude straight.

Sounds like a dumbass.

That's bullshite, people here have been bitching, prior to this year, that he goes running back by committee and that no running back would ever win the Heisman.

this shows that he has zero fricking clue. Miles has gone out of his way to split carries. Fournette is really the first guy to get significant carries compared to the other backs on the team. Ridley to a much lesser extent.

All true. Les Miles does not ruin his backs.

Hill also but those are really the only 3 that had significant carries.

nah...I'd want to have all my data for the past several rb's at LSU that have gone pro under Miles, and there is a lot of them....
I had called the show in the pre-season and asked him how he could eliminate an LSU team that returns 15 starters from SEC contention already, yet call State a contender after losing about 15 starters.
He told me I was basically wearing purple and gold glasses and that I should call the show back after several weeks and that we could discuss our projections.....he pegged LSU at 7-5, possibly 8-4, and not in contention. Not interested in calling in and gloating though.

This clown is just piggybacking on some of the national sports talking heads, who have been on this topic for lack of anything else to talk about. He's a moron. Don't listen to him.

stopped here. completely untrue when you have an unreal stable of backs every year. that said, les is riding LF, but why wouldn't any coach?

I'm guessing he's fairly irrelevant.
