Tyrann Mathieu On The Les Miles Firing: "I Was Heartbroken"
by TD Staff ReporterOctober 18, 2016

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
Former LSU star and current Arizona Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu appeared on the Rich Eisen show Tuesday and as asked about the firing of his former coach Les Miles.
quote:
"I was heartbroken, Mathieu said. "Obviously, me and coach Miles have a pretty good relationship. We have stayed in contact through the years. Just talking, keeping up with each other."
"It's tough to see it happen to him. A guy who has won so many games, that was so dependable in a sense. A guy that had such great relationship with all of his players."
"But it's a business. These universities want to win championships and if you continue to fall short, you have to pay the price."
"At the end of the day, it was heartbreaking for all of his former players and current players. "

Yeah. If he had just played every game in 2011, he would have had the Heisman. He was the most electrifying player on the best team in the country. Sad that he missed out on that but agree with all comments about his redemption.

He still has a pretty good chance of becoming the greatest defensive player ever.

He could have so easily fallen into the "me first" mentality and held a hard grudge against both LSU and Miles for his actions which led to his dismissal. However, he has both taken ownership and learned from his mistakes and now he is a better man because of it. Great to see continued loyalty to LSU and Miles from him despite his adversity.

"and if you continue to fall short, you have to pay the price" key part of the statement. .
