Miles using the word "want"

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.
