This was posted obviously from a person who wants a new coach at floria. If it was posted earlier I couldn't find it in search. If already posted I'll delete it.
So tonight one of our players was gravely injured in the last minute of the game. I hope Latroy Pittman turns out to be fine or recovers speedily.
But now I have to stop and thank Les Miles and the LSU Tigers. As some are aware, LSU tends to be seen as rougher around the edges than is normal in the SEC. However, their class in the last minute of the game proved exactly why they deserved to win. Upon Latroy's injury, they removed their helmets and knelt in respect for a fallen player. They clapped when their own injured player got up but remained on their knees with helmets off since ours was still being strapped onto the board to be carted off.
On our sideline, exactly 6 of our more than 70 players knelt. Undoubtedly these learned their decency not from Will Muschamp but from their old high school head coaches, since Muschamp took the opportunity to huddle his defense and in typical fashion, yell at them.
Almost 7 minutes passed before it occurred to him that he may need to go check on the boy the Pittman family entrusted to his care.
Of course, Will couldn't be bothered to talk TO Latroy. No, he simply walked up, poked a trainer on the shoulder, asked her a question and jogged away.
LSU continued exhibiting the kind of well-led honor that any decent coach would instill in his players by approaching Latroy once he was on the cart and expressing their sympathies. Indeed after two dozen LSU players had done so a few Gators broke ranks and showed they could learn from a good example by doing the same.
So I would like to thank Les Miles for improving the lives of roughly a dozen Gators more in 5 minutes than Will Muschamp had done in YEARS.
We lost again. We turned the ball over a lot and stuck with a QB who lacks improvement again. We got tired made bad mistakes on defense late again, and relied on desperation plays to keep it close again.
But more importantly we responded to our fellow man going down by ignoring him and using his injury as a long timeout to yell at defenders who just watched a friend, roommate, teammate get hurt.
Fire Will Muschamp, Jeremy Foley. If not for being a bad head coach who can't win enough games, then do it for the better reason. Fire him for failing to be a leader of men. Fire him because he lacks the respect for an injured player that over 80,000 other people possessed in that stadium. Fire him because he's a bad human being.
Thank you again Les Miles and the LSU Tigers. I hope one day we might again contribute to the class of the SEC. You helped our young men learn about class tonight. Your fans should be proud of you. I'm proud to have seen you and your 70+ men. Good game and goodnight.

I don't think that guy likes Will.

Say what you want about Les but... he's a good guy. That's why his players play for him.

He learned it from his mentor Lord SabAn. Also I don't think this post is made if Florida wins

Haven't thought about that.
Must feel extra shitty to get chewed out by your head coach when one of your buddies might be paralyzed on the field.

i did find it strange that once several tigers went to the cart, as if an after thought that a few of the gators wandered to the car like it would look bad if they didn't. Then being that they were about to roll the cart, one of the guys following the cart shooed them off.

i think it does. it looked odd to me, that Will nor his players went to the field for quite a while. Once Les left the field after checking on our player, I looked for Will, and thought it odd that he was not checking on his player.

Here is another one different poster.
Tiger fans, we wanted to share with you the kind words from Florida fan John J. Jordan following last night's game:
I am a Gator fan and attended the Florida-LSU Game with my wife last night in Gainesville. During that game, one of our football players (Latroy Pittman) was injured and in light of the potential for a serious neck or back injury, they immobilized him and carried him off the field on a motorized cart.
I am writing to express our appreciation for the way that your football players displayed what appeared to be sincere concern for that young player as the doctors and EMS personnel were working on him to prepare him for transport.
I may be telling you something you witnessed yourself either at the game or on TV, but if you did not, it was truly a sight to see.
We’ve been attending college football games for 40 years and we’ve never seen anything quite like it before. Many of the LSU players kneeled and prayed (led by number 32, Jalen Collins), and later a large number gathered near the cart and spoke to Latroy as they were preparing to take him off the field.
Bottom line, We were very, very impressed by this show of character and class, something that is hard to find in a world that seems to place winning above everything, and concern for one’s self above concern for others. Please express our respect and thanks to Coach Miles and his staff, and especially to the young men of the LSU Tigers Football Team for setting a great example for everyone who witnessed their simple act of humanity.
