re: Did Miles rip Kiel?

why should he? For one, this statement doesnt undo his previous PC statements he made that he understands if the guy wanted to stay close to home etc. That doesnt mean you cant handle the situation with class. Spurning LSU at the very last second by forcing Miles to not give MIller the scholarhip, and THEN going back on his word was not a smart decision. He didnt just hurt the Institution of LSU, but another kid directly as well. As a man of character, Miles did, and should take that very seriously. Nothing wrong with giving a slap on the wrist. Its a learning process for these kids. Doesnt mean Miles is feeding Gunner to the wolves.


And most of all, what did you expect him to say at the Bash? you are in LSU territory. ALl of you know how fickle and emotional we are about football, let alone how we were when we found out he left in that fashion. Making a PC statement just because he had camera's would not have settled well with the crowd. He coaches LSU and is accountable for the LSU fans. Thats his first and foremost task, so a PC statement would have just hurt him even more than potential national media speculation.
