Apology? No. I want to hear that he realizes and will correct his mistakes.

An "apology"? NO. That doesn't fix the problem. I know he's sorry it happened.

What I want to hear from Les is this:

"I realize now that my evaluation of our offensive situation during this game was incorrect, and that 9 was not capable of moving our offense. I realize that I did not listen to the counsel of my other coaches and players that we should make a change at the QB position, and this was a mistake on my part. I promise the fans and team that in the future I will remain more open minded to using all the potential of our entire team, when those around me agree that we need to make a change.

I further realize that my game plan for this game was inadequate. I felt incorrectly that we would see the same things from the Alabama team we had seen in November, and that we would be successful if we simply carried forward with a similar game plan. I now realize that was incorrect and my mistake. I promise our fans and team that in the future I will view each game as a new situation, and try to anticipate the adjustments the opponent will make, and prepare our team with several options so we are ready if our primary game plan fails."

This is the real problem, not JJ/JL, eating grass, mad hatter, etc. If Les doesn't realize his mistake he is doomed to repeat it with a new cast of characters. That is why we are having a hard time letting this go, because it clouds next season's promise with significant doubt.
