Les Miles should have kept his mouth shut. But he didn't. He was speculating at best because no one told the guy he was being released. He may have leaked it so the shitstorm would play out just like it did. Les won and LSU lost out on getting a coach to move the program forward. Next year will be much of the same.

Plausible denial. My guess would be Sexton

Right now, Gridiron is going to be damn lucky if the Coach allows things to continue and give it the same access to the program.



Miles denied that he said such a thing at the Gridiron Club. LINK

So why would he kill off the Gridiron Club for someone (who may or may not be a Gridiron Club member) supposedly making up things? Either that, or Les is lying, and killing off Gridiron Club would make it obvious he's lying.

Les and George Bass, IMO


I wondered about this. Last weekend the media was all over Miles and about midweek several individual pundits at CBS and ESPN started calling LSU out and backing Les. I felt like someone was calling in their cards...

That "leak" essentially saved Les' career.


^^^^^^

When he walked out on the field and was tipping his cap I thought I had gone in a way back machine to Gehrig's final game with the Yankees.
The only thing missing was the echoing microphone.

Agreed that we still could have lost Jimbo because Sexton started getting his greedy hands in the deal. Meanwhile Jimbos team was putting the wood the SEC East champs

Without it, he isn't carried off the field, the alma mater interview/song isn't staged, political figures don't get involved, ESPN and the national media don't pile on, and Shaq keeps his mouth shut.

Miles sings the alma mater after every game. To say that it's staged.... weak.
Shaq was asked a question and he answered it. He didn't offer anything until the interviewer asked.
I think you are reaching a little bit there pal.

How about the idiots on this board with their "sources"? My beloved MIL had better sources at her beauty shop. (She was spot on about Miles to Michigan, lol @ ESPN)

The whole Miles thing convinced me, that outside of a very few posters, most Ranters don't know dick about football, business, or LSU.

One last thing:

Anyone who thinks Joe Alleva is a competent AD should have their posting privileges revoked. He personally set LSU back at least one year in recruiting and made us the laughingstock of DI athletics. His termination should be immediate.

umm that's proof it was staged. If it was such a common occurrence why did the producer of the SEC network allocate an extra 5 minutes to let him sing through it (you know producers allocate time slots to the second right?).

The SEC network allocated the time because they knew exactly what they were doing and when ahead of time. Anyone who thinks all that wasn't staged is a goof.

Talk about not understanding how things work. He handled this about as well as anyone could have.
