I think Hebert did a good job of controlling his emotions. He had to watch a coach throw away a chance his son had at having a perfect season and winning a national championship. He had to be extremely disappointed and pissed off that Miles didn't put the players in a position to be successful. He knew his son was going to be hurting from that loss and that Les Miles was mainly responsible.

He could have done a lot worse. He could have called out Miles and asked him why no changes were made to the offensive line when they were getting blown up all game. He could have asked why his son didn't get to see the field in his last game as a Tiger.

Instead, he focused on the one thing that was inexplicable: Miles' refusal to deviate from a plan that was doomed to fail from the start. He called out Miles' on his stubbornness. As a dad, I think he showed much restraint.

The only people complaining are the media dips that didnt have the balls to ask the same question.....

And the talk radio guys that didn't have credentials for that presser..

Bobby knows more about football than 99% of the folks on this board....

"Come on, I'm not a journalist," Hebert said on the air Tuesday. "I didn't go to journalism school, and I don't claim to be a journalist. The credentials that I have is that I played 15 years of pro football, and I know what it is to play quarterback.

"I was like an extension of the fans that finally got into a press conference. Maybe I shouldn't have given my opinion a couple of times. You are supposed to really ask a question and not give opinion, but the hell with it. What are they going to do, kick me out? So what?"
