After the meeting, Angelle — who is running for Congress — said that last year’s near-firing of Miles has led the board to reconsider how it handles business pertaining to LSU’s coaches.

“I think last year was handled very poorly,” Angelle said. “Anytime you have something handled poorly, it makes sense to make sure you don’t repeat those mistakes. This to me was more of a timing issue. Last year was more the management of the situation.”

Angelle did not attend or watch LSU’s season-opening 16-14 loss to Wisconsin — “I was campaigning,” he said — but voiced a shared dissatisfaction with LSU’s start to the season.

“Obviously there’s a lot of disappointment,” he said. “That disappointment has been recognized by everyone, including the head coach. He took responsibility for a poor performance. They have the opportunity, and we wish them the best of luck, to perform well on Saturday.”
