I really don't get how you guys think the head coach just 100% left the decision up to the team instead of having his opinion formed beforehand, and then letting the team reinforce his opinion.

It's not that some think the coach left the decision up to the team, it's that the LSU fans are trying to perpetrate a lie when in reality to anyone with a keen eye would see what is going on. Les is a grown arse man, why the frick does he need to have his team reaffirm anything? Stand by your convection and decision as a coach to make your own choice absolved from a team vote. I don't know what Les reason was behind what he did but if you believe what he did is true, then I question his leadership abilities to lead troubled players and punish them justly. If any coach did that, I would have the same regards to that situation.

If you have kids think about it like this. If your middle child of three gets caught stealing in a department store and you punish the child by taking the difference from their allowance, would you ask your other kids before you punish their sibiling? If so, what does that say about you as a parent.

Les is smart enough to know how this would appear to the public save those LSU fans that will spin it another way.

So did you just agree that you don't think he completely left the decision to the team? If so, I'm not following the lie that us LSU fans are perpetrating.

I actually agree with this.

This is the same guy that kicked his 5* starting QB off the team and a defensive Heisman trophy finalist. I have no concerns with him punishing players justly. Can you really not see where he thought it would build team unity to hold a vote. You ever have any meetings at work where your opinion is asked? How about any team building exercises? Some people have different philosophies about how to empower their people.
