Les Miles is a hell of a Class Act

I'm Reposting this from the SEC Rant. Credit goes to Aubie Spr96.
This is Coach Les Miles with Cyd Ortis from Bham, Al. Kid is a cancer patient and isn't going to make it. He is off chemo now and is strictly on pain meds.
Coach Miles invited him to sit in the coach's box for the game. Says it was one of the best days of his life.
Thanks Coach Miles.
Here is an old story about the same kid and it gives a little detail about Les Miles relationship with him

With 15-year-old Sid kicked back on the couch like he was on the phone with an old buddy, Miles talked to him about football, such as what went wrong for LSU in the Alabama game, and he talked to him about life. "He told him, 'Life is not how long you live, but how well you live it,''' Lynn Ortis said. "He was chatty chatty. And then he asked if he could pray with him, and he did. It was surreal."
How awesome is that? Of Coach Miles.
I hate the battle this kid is going through.

Just another example as to why his players love him. He cares about people. I hope The young man had a wonderful day.

I've been reading his mom and dads Facebook updates every week or so and they've been through so many up and downs.
Breaks my damn heart

Yes. Yes he is. And unfortunately some people don't see that. There is more to football than football and I put a lot of stock in the character of a man. And this man is at the top of the heap.

Wouldn't want any other person coaching this football team

The latest was that he was feeling better this last week which allowed him to make the game today. There are no guarantees and they couldn't wait for November, to be honest.
