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

quote:
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.

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

This is a sad story. I agree. Miles is first class.

don't worry, the saban nut lovers will diminish everything.
Posted on 9/20/15 at 12:48 am to Sentrius
I love this coach. So much.

I don't really know Cyd but I know his brother fairly well. Les Miles

I don't understand what's going on in someone's head to make them down vote this.

What a hell of a man. For all of the shite he gets, it's hard to dislike a man who seems as genuine as ol' Les. I may have missed something, but I like that he isn't going around telling everyone how great he is for this. He's doing a good thing, and he doesn't need to go to ESPN and gloat about it. That alone is a pretty awesome thing.
