As classy as everybody says Miles is (and he takes the high road consistently) this was not a classy move by Les at all. I realize he was likely joking but it's best when you are a coach not to take personal shots at players.

How can you say what he did was wrong? Who is holding these kids accountable: The NCAA, coaches, parents, themselves? The answer is - no one. I'm sorry, say what you will, but it is kind of refreshing to see an adult scorn a kid for being an idiot. Where did these kids miss the basic lessons? "Don't lie" is usually one people are taught at a young age. This all comes down to accountability. No one holds these 17-18 year old kids (or their parents) accountable for things they do or say. As big of a family man as Miles seems to be, you can understand his frustration. Don't know if you saw Herbstreit's commentary on the spectacle that recruiting has become but he echoed my sentiments exactly. It is ironic that Miles gets blasted for making an honest comment, meanwhile there is nothing on Saban yanking a scholarship on NSD. The moral center is so skewed in CFB
