Jarrett Lee played his cards exactly the way he should have. His actions of not saying anything negative towards Miles & Coaching staff plus his standing on the sidelines with helmet on & stretching did in Les Miles at LSU. If Lee had quit or transferred out he would have been vilified by some of the LSU faithful as a selfish player who was only concerned about himself and not the team. Well Lee stuck it in their and whoever advised this kid behind the scenes deserves a tremendous amount of credit along with Lee for sticking to this game plan of being a teammate first and player second.

If Lee had quit or transferred out it would have had an impact on his ability to be drafted or picked up the NFL. Lee's actions here actually show he has the maturity level for the NFL and creates a perception that he was missued at LSU and is worthy of being drafted. This was a brilliant strategy and I look forward to seeing if it pays off--he very well could be a late round draft pick whereas Jordan Jefferson won't be selected.

Les Miles WILL NEVER earn back the respect he lost from not just the National Championship game but also from the SEC Championship from the fans and players despite whatever efforts the LSU PR team tries to do.

Hats off to whoever guided this kid because if my son were a player who wanted to make it to the next level I would hire that advisor/future agent in a NY minute. One day we will find out who was in Jarrett Lee's ear because they did a terrific job of preparing this kid mentally to withstand the heartache he suffered as a result of not just Les Miles but the OL coaching staff.

If Lee does make it in the NFL, Miles will have some tough days ahead. His judgement can legitimately be challenged by the fanbase

Yep. This is the best post I've read on here today.

I no longer consider myself an LSU football program, and I may never be again, but certainly, I will never support the program so long as Les Miles is associated with it.

This goes beyond wins and losses. His actions this year have been totally disgusting. At some point, as a fan, you've got to start asking yourself exactly what it is that you are supporting.
