Translation
"We are about to play the most important game of the season and our talent hasn't yet showed it's full potential. As we head into the Bama game, I believe these talents must be utilized to their full potential, because this game is more important than any game we've played thus far. Really, I'm expecting this receiving corps to execute the way they have shown they could and that is rebound (from the auburn loss) and play hard and execute. If they do that, then I will be pleased. Throughout this young team there is still some developing going on, and there are some guys, in my opinion, who suffered minor injuries and will probably be playing 100% this Saturday"
This is what I got from it... It's not that difficult really.
yall aint from round hair now are ya?

Les Miles has developed a unique coach speak that sounds very odd in the deep south and particularly in the land of 'Swamp People' where they could have cast 1/2 the state (including much of my own family), it doesn't make him stupid and he clearly is not.
I watch swamp loggers but don't stereotype the entire state of North Carolina as rednecks that are challenged by the english language but i could be mistaken

Its pretty basic. He wants more big plays from them. But to say he is dissapointed is going too far

Aren't the swamp loggers from Louisiana too? (I haven't watched that show as much but I'm pretty sure the episode I saw was a group off of the atchafalaya basin...)

Yea, there are quite a few illiterate red necks in North Carolina but most of them work for the people with economics degrees. (Such as the one Miles has from Michigan)
And I'm not calling the whole state (or swamp people/cajuns) in general stupid. (From whence I came.) I am saying WE TALK FUNNY and most of the REST OF THE COUNTRY goes 'what the heck did you just say?' when we speak AND yet the biggest gripe about Miles is that he sounds funny so HE must be an idiot.
I guess you just have to have a greater perspective than just the bayou to understand the irony.

It's called typing jackass. Do I need to critique your sentence? How about capitalizing the L in looks.

Yes you hit it right on the head I only have a Louisiana perspective. How do you get to the airport i sure would like to travel around this great country to get some perspective. I am just worried that one of the swamp people will kill my pet alligator.

There should be a question mark after this sentence.

NO, we don't need grammar police but when you are questioning a Man's intelligence based on an out of context word for word transcript of a comment he made in a 30 minute press conference then it’s apropos.

you should be more careful, because the literal interpretation of what you typed makes you look kind of stupid...much like your problem with Miles' speaking
quote:

it wasn't a sentence...just a comment posted in such a way to denote a conversational tone

So you call me out on my grammar or typing yet you don't proof your own sentence?

Miles quotes are kinda like trying to read Beowulf.
With a mixture of Paradise Lost (Milton was blind, in fact), Madame Bovary, and Arnold from Happy Days.

Please enlighten me oh wise one. You're going to defend a man who has proven time and time again that he can't speak eloquently yet call out someone who has made an error typing?

Duly noted. Thank you!

does he have to give press conferences or can he give them to another staff member?

just giving you a hard time...I always find it funny when someone bashes Miles for his speaking style and makes basic grammar mistakes in the process. I have listened to Miles enough over the past 6 years to know, for the most part, what he's saying. Saban talked in riddles half the time as well, and I got pretty used to deciphering him too.

He talks a lot like a former POTUS war hero and Commanderbof operation Overlord. Ike was no dummy but his manner of speech was just as muffled.
