A friend of mine, who deals with LSU and Saints players on a fairly regular basis, was at the recruiting bash talking with TT and told me that TT said LSU would be stupid of they didn't start Mett next season.

He has been working with him while he prepares for the combine. Said he puts the ball right where it needs to be and that he has a cannon.

Also said that he told Miles 14 times last season that he was just "giving" JJ the ball and that he hadn't earned it.

Take it fwiw, I believe everything my guy tells me when it comes to this stuff.

I'd have to call bullshite on that one.

No player is going to tell his coach stuff like that.

Deals? With both teams? How?

Date of recruiting bash. Date of your report? Why the lag time? Anyone else hear this?

TT is working with Mett in prep for combine? Confirmation of this please.

quote:

Confirmation of a player criticizing another player to the head coach multiple times?

Does he also sell imported drywall? Real estate? Used cars?

May I be skeptical?

Considering that we never heard from official or unofficial sources that JJ lacked work ethic off the field, I don't see how he was "given" the ball without earning it over someone who had earned it more. JL hasn't done anything on the field to earn a starting job last year. And hell, JL has been with the team longer. If anyone would be just given the ball based on seniority and without earning it, it could have only been him.

not surprising at all

the players arent stupid, they see the exact same thing we see on the field, and obviously a lot more and practice and whatnot. they know damn well jefferson did nothing to earn playing time and i said all season long that players were going to lose faith in les if he stuck with jefferson. luckily it didnt implode the team, but i definitely think it caused a lot of internal tension.

All I know is that no one on this board and very few people in the country can do the job Coach Miles has done. If you don't think so, look back at LSU's own history. Look past Saban.

I mean, it always looks so clear to me what the coach should do, but if I or any other Yahooo took on the job, it would be an epic fail.

That's why I love LSU and love this board. Ain't nothing like it in the United States.

Go Tigers!!

Wouldn't shock me. TT's stats were insanely better with JL in the game, minus the Cotton Bowl.

He was "giving" JJ the ball because his alternatives were inferior. Until someone can make a case based on facts, not bias, as to why JL should have been starting instead, this is a conversation about nothing.

I wanna know if there is any action going on about who takes the first snap in the Oregon game. I wanna make some money off all you people who think Mett takes the first snap of the season.

If this did happen, I find it interesting given the fact that Toliver had his own issues this past season (minus the cotton bowl). Throwing stones in a glass house is bad enough but 14 times?
