Why is it stupid? Who is going to get offended by it?
Maybe nobody. Maybe the recruits themselves who deserve zero backlash for their decision, much less from someone of Les's stature. Maybe it will reinforce the opinions of those La high school coaches who have steered their kids away from Les in the past.
I don't know and neither does Les.
Better question is what good does he do by doing that? Whipping up some excitement for the fans who take a day off of work to go to a recruiting bash? Seems like a small reward for an unknown risk.

The comments were meant to get an emotional response from the crowd.
What makes it so insane is that he proceeded to show highlights of this years class, with many of them from other states.
He also has a son who most likely will play baseball out of state.
His daughter left Louisiana to progress as a top rated swimmer.
He left Ohio for Michigan.
I'm smart enough to know he was playing up to the crowd....but somewhere down the line a recruit and his parents will not figure that out.
Once again, he could have made his life a lot easier by not saying it.
PS - Going 8-5 this year had him thinking "I have to fire these people up".

Do you really care if Gerald Willis or Speedy Noil gets offended by Les stating that we'll be just fine without them?
They play for conference rivals. To hell with them.

The group that provide him with a discretionary budget that he doesn't need to get approval from TAF or the athletic department on how he spends it.
