Does it bother anyone else the way that Coach uses the word "want"? Instead of saying, "the team wants victory every day", it's, according to Miles: "Our team comes in to each game with a true want for vicotry". Or, "our team carries out a want to compete. It just sounds weird. I had to get that off my chest.

I like to pretend he means "wont."

I also like to pretend I'm a robot.

No, it doesn't bother me. The guy loves his job. He's happy at LSU. He is our coach. He can speak Chinese if he wants to, I don't care. He's the one and only Les Miles.

You mean as a noun instead of a verb?

It's his mannerism with his mouth that makes me want to slap him.

look guy, get over it. you dont have to listen. saban used to say "relative to" a thousand times a minute. when you have jackasses asking you the same shite every week, you just throw some coach speak their way. "want" just happens to be miles' fave

i think milesisms are great. they certainly are unique. i need to start writing them down because my brain doesn't seem to want to be able to requote them. it is, however, enjoying the work and will give it a good go in the future.

Its Milesbonics...It makes him and LSU look very different, and furthers the rationale for calling him "The Hat". The "Mad Hatter", of course is a reference to craziness due to mercury poisoning, which causes erratc/strange behavior that is decidedly out of the norm. With Miles, it manifests itself in saying things that no other college-educated person says, such as the consistent use of the phrase "want"

That is the uniqueness of Les Miles that I love. He's speaks from the heart and his players thrive off of his passion. Most coaches put up a wall around then. What you see is what you get with Coach Miles. Totally sincere and direct. This is exactly why I feel we upgraded when Miles replaced Saban. Saban has no heart, it's all "Process" with no real heart.

I really like listening to Miles.

He sounds like a coach.

This team has the character and perseverance and drive to achieve victory.

He could be a fricking mute for all I care as long as he continues winning.

In retrospect. is it a sign that the team is not sure of themselves. Like false hope??? I hope not . Hope their confidence level is up and believes that they are doing what is needed to be prepared to win the game.
