Les Miles tells LSU fans to boo him, not his players

“I think what has to happen is you have to realize these are young guys and they’re not perfect,” Miles said. “There is an opportunity for him (Jennings) to improve, and I would say to those guys in Tiger Stadium, to express displeasure, hopefully it would be with the coach — not necessarily with the player.”
Playing quarterback at a major college is tough enough without boos, according to Miles.
“It’s that spot where criticism is easy to give,” he said. “I think that position, if you will, you have to have a little thicker skin. You have to recognize that that’s the position that you play and it’s reality.”

I did boo you Les.
You somehow think it was a college kid I was booing.

Spot on.... If you boo a fricking 18-21 year old kid you are a pussy.

Trust me, booing him is no problem for me.

I bet you are like the senators who say shite like that and then get caught in the truck stop restroom with a dick in their mouth.

I'll ask this sincerely...assuming you're being honest, do you think you make up the majority of fans?
I ask this, because the VAST majority of idiots around me who were booing/hollering, while SURELY angry at Miles, were yelling VERY VERY specific things AT Jennings. They were clearly booing Jennings.
Aside form that...booing to what end? The frickhead near me who WAS yelling directly at Miles had no plan...he was just angry. Was he under the impression Miles could hear him? If he could, would he take his comments under advisement? Does ANYONE think their booing REALLY lead Miles to make the change...REALLY?
In the end, unless you think booing actually works (which would make you dumb) the only thing I find booing does is make the fan-base look foolish and force OUR TEAM to have to rally around themselves because they no longer think we have their backs.

Nailed it, bro!
I'm sorry you cheer for a cult that harbors child-rapists all for the sake of maintaining mediocrity, but don't take it out on me.

I shouldn't have to tell you this but its the only way fans have to voice their displeasure. Would you rather a guy punch you in the mouth because he's pissed at Miles. Fans vent...its what they do. I don't condone booing specific players. I have booed a few times in 40+ years as the entire team ran on/off the field. Did it do any good...of course not! But it sure made me feel a hell of a lot better.

For the "I was booing Les crowd", why did you only boo after turnover or incomplete passes or when Jennings ran onto the field? Shouldn't you have been booing continuously from the time Miles appeared until he did what you wanted? I didn't hear boos on defense or on positive plays.

I am being honest and unfortunately no, I do think I am the minority. Jennings this not tell Les "im going back out there nothing you can do about it".
Same as JJ( unless he actually did have nudes of the staff) was not the decision maker in the dome.
Another point, since its Auburn week, Jamie Howard was taking play calls from the sidelines, yet his car was still firebombed. (Different coaching staff I know)

How the frick does anyone know who was getting booed? I think its trashy but i dont know how you can tell who was getting booed.

Some may say that Gundy set the bar unrealistically high, but still I expected more from Les' "Come after me" speech.
Posted on 10/1/14 at 3:16 pm to blackjackjackson
Dammit.. All week long we get told not to boo because the players don't know its directed at the coach.. NOW we are told to boo the person everyone was booing.. WTF?

That shouldn't be obvious? because it was the COACH that decided that he run onto the field? I wasn't there but that should be understandable.

I'd LIKE to think fans can find a happy medium between the two...though I'm sure this thread will prove that wishful thinking on my part.
That being said, the BEST way to voice displeasure with the coach and/or program is to NOT GO TO GAMES. Stop supporting the program financially. That hits home far faster than booing at games AND it doesn't drive me batshit crazy while enjoying the game. It's a win-win!

Fans vent...its what they do.
People are emotional...especially so when it comes to tribal activities like cheering on "your" team. No doubt. But...and again, maybe this is me expecting too much (or the fact that I'm not drunk at games) but I've never lost so much control over myself that I started hollering randomly...which is, after all when booing is when you stop and think about it. It doesn't effect any outcomes other than making the fans look idiotic.
And honestly...that best case scenario. Worst case you've got freshman players having to answer questions about their HOME STADIUM booing the week of the fricking Auburn game.
