Remember all the fans saying Harris would never start?

Rewind to 24 hours ago. Remember the fans saying Eitling wouldn't play unless it was a blowout


Lol at praising Miles for his handling of the QB situation over the years.

Miles has no idea what is spewing from his mouth in the press conferences. His comments seem are not well thought through, and he continually befuddles everyone who loves LSU. His brain neurons have never seemed to be connected properly. Has anybody EVER heard ANYBODY sound as confused or talk in such jumbled tirades as Les Miles? Think about it...have you ever heard anyone speak like him?
Add to this his incredibly poor coping mechanisms for masking his incompetence and poor decision making...the issues just compound on each other. You end up with a man who is wasting the time and resources of Louisiana State University and the wonderful athletes who love to represent our proud state.
It's time to pull the trigger before it gets worse.

Miles made a point of saying, in fact it was about the first thing he said about DE, that Danny missed some open receivers. Harris has missed more open receivers than any quarterback in my memory and I have never heard Miles say a word about it.
His comments about BH were as if it was the coaches fault that they had not gotten him comfortable. Translation: when our starter Harris makes a mistake, it's the coaches fault. When the pretender Etling makes a mistake, he screwed up.

LINKThere is a link to the presser. He coddled Harris by saying "got to get him to relax and get into the flow." Then he discussed how DE was productive right away then he was not "perfect by any means" then threw out the 6/14 stat and TO - go and listen 22 seconds in. It was his way of saying Harris is MY QB and nobody is going to force me to change MY mind - IDGAF about boos.

He also shook it three times after he peed. Damn some of you are just fricking obsessed.

Lee had a bad quarter vs Bama and we never saw him again, granted Without JJ we lose that first game. But in the NC JJ was terrible and Miles never waivered.

Exactly. He constantly blames his bad coaching and garbage gameplan on the players not executing.

I have. An uncle of mine acts very similar to Miles, and he was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's a couple weeks back. I don't mean this in a condensiding way, but their similarities are uncanny.

Harris is probably pretty fragile mentally right now so it would make sense to handle him with kids gloves. Chances are he will be counted on to play again.

Wow, this is a narrative that simply does not fit with the facts. I guess you didn't listen to the Wednesday radio show...Miles blamed the poor offensive showing totally on the players and accepted ZERO responsibility on behalf of the coaching staff. He pointed out some of the players' specific mistakes as well.

And that was not nearly the first time he has done that.

yeah most on here talking shite were all about how Etling got benched at Purdue. Just like Hillary, can't stick. Miles needs to be gone, then we can figure out which QB can run a college offense
