re: Anyone else lose some respect for Miles?

Thats exactly right. The Hill thing had gotten too big. What he did didn't justify missing any games. He will be punished the way Miles sees fit.

Several callers on the local talk shows (non sports shows) said they had lost respect for Miles to come off looking so cowardly by saying 'the team voted' to let him back on.
They didn't think that a $4 million dollar coach should allow a group of teenagers the power to make that decision. He makes that wad of cash to be the one to make the tough calls, and then accept the criticism for it

I think he comes off as more worried about winning with his lack of action yesterday. Thoughts?
My thoughts are
A. He is a football coach, so I hope he is more worried about winning;
B. To any extent that Miles has a duty to form these "kids" as "men" I think its highly questionable that the best thing for a young man who has made a mistake, or two, is to be kicked out off the one thing that is the most likely to keep him on track in life; and
C. Where does the principle come from that a football coach should be held to some higher standard than a university? If a kid is allowed to attend a flagship university, under what principle should he not be allowed to play football for the same university?

I think the plan is to hold him out for a couple of games but if injuries happen now we can still call on him rather than officially going on record saying he is suspended for 2/3/4 games and not having that luxury. If I was running the business it's what I would do if I felt it was enough to get Hill on the right track. Miles knows Hill better than us, so I'll trust his instincts as a dad of sorts in this situation to know whether its enough to get Hill on the right track.

Yes. It started during the NC game with Bama. If our Dutchtown local with a criminal record can go to Alabama and not get into anymore trouble, then yes. Les obviously can't handle the kids as well as "other" coaches.

That's the first time hill has gotten in trouble at LSU. If coaches kicked players off teams for fighting or equal offenses byu would be a powerhouse

I lost some. I personally think its gamesmanship for the TCU game and he doesn't play for the first two games or so, which I think would be adequate punishment.
But to use this for gamesmanship purposes to me is bush league. Kid did wrong, he should have to pay by missing games. That's what players want to do, play games. Kid doesn't give a frick that he missed a team meeting in June. He wants to suit up for TCU. If he gets to do that, he'll have it perfect: No tough off-season work AND you get to play a big game on national TV.
No punishment whatsoever.
This stuff about being "punished" by not getting to do team activities is a bunch of malarkey. It's not like he doesn't talk to the players. They all talk about what they've said to him.
And if he dresses out for the TCU game, I'll lose a TON of respect.

That changed for me some with him not laying out some form of suspension yesterday.
Posted on 8/6/13 at 6:10 pm to EveryonesACoach
3 game suspension will satisfy me, and may teach this young man some respect.

Grow up, dude. Division One College Football is a business and it's all about the business of winning. You do what you have to do to win. Hill gives you a better chance of doing that. If you can't handle this reality, maybe you'd be happier pulling for Slippery Rock or some such.

Yes. Its not all about winning. Hill just be off the team. Not trolling, thats just the way I feel after watching the video.

The Hill story has become too big to not do SOMETHING.
The Hill story may be big on the Rant and in Baton Rouge, but I can assure you the rest of the nation has very little knowledge , if any, of Jeremy Hill or his situation with our team. I have probably 150+ employees under me in the state next to Louisiana and I could take a random survey and maybe 5 people know of him, much less know what's been happening. The only people blowing this out of proportion are folks like the OP of this topic.

If you're in leadership, you only lose respect when you see someone who knows nothing about leadership trying to do it... Or else you're not in leadership and this is the type of question that is asked... By the way, We just signed ex Miss USA Gretchen Jensen as our spokesmodel at Tops In America!! (Hey, I couldn't resist) Go Dale Brown.
