Lots of talk around Montgomery this morning is about how Auburn kept fighting (a valid point). One of the things being said is that Miles was mad at Malzhan for running the hurry-up and going for it on 4th down late with a 14-point deficit. Didn't see this on the TV. Did I miss something? Was Miles really upset that an opponent kept trying to win?

TIA

Miles should take notes. Not be mad. I understand why he would be mad though.

It was all a big misunderstanding. What Miles actually said was, "For you, my friend."

Miles should take notes from Jimmy Johnson while he was at Univ. of Miami. Johnson taught his players that no matter how big the lead was that they were not to let up, to keep running it up. Once you let your players throttle back then thats when complacency sets in and the other teams climbs back into the game as Auburn almost did. He taught his players to finish off an opponenet

I saw nothing to indicate that Miles was upset.

I was drunk by this point so I don't remember it...but I can't really be mad at Malzahn for that. Sounds textbook.

Didnt appear mad on TV. Although he said something as they walked away from each other, it was awkward. Not sure what was said though.

Amen. I wish we would glue the gas pedal down to the floor when we are stomping someone. you have to make them quit. LSU would have gone up 28 or 31-0 in the first half, Aub would have opened up a can of quit. Les kept them believing

I think Miles tries to still play the gentleman's game. When you are smoking a team, you lay off and try to finish the game. Malzahn said screw that and tried to make it look as close as possible. Mile's needs to understand he is the only one left giving that type of respect and play 4 qtrs accordingly.

Gotta love how Alabama folk just make shite up and run with it. I'm sure they devoted a whole hour to how Les "was pissed" at Malzhan.

If a coach tells the opposing coach something pissy after a game - but no fans are left in the stands to see it does it really happen?
