On finebaum. Saying he was around the team a lot and many times miles wouldn't even say hello to him. He also said there was a big disconnect between Les and former players.

Eta...Clark also called Florida cowardly and classless in their handling of the game.

The man didn't hold back on tell the truth Monday.

In all fairness, Ryan Clark and Les Miles aren't contemporaries at LSU. Ryan was gone a long time before Les got this job.

Seems like it. Coach O has made it his main point to invite ex players back.

Not sure why Les was dickish to ex players. Is it because he was somewhat of a controlling dickhead behind closed doors?

Yeah I was surprised he kept on talking about it. He did not sidestep one bit. Ryan seems like a really nice dude.

Dude loves LSU

Les was trying to act like Saban but wasn't getting the results.

Ryan was trying to be diplomatic about it with the "Miles did a good job continuing some of the winning and success Nick Saban had but..."

What purpose does this serve.
I'm not ready to pile on Les, he was successful despite any flaws he had and there weren't many.
His failure to adjust his offense is why he is gone and I don't think it was farfetched to say that was an easy fix without trying to become anything other than putting your offense in a better position to make plays, he failed to do that after nearly losing his job last year.

Why would you have an interview then start talking about an ex coach because he didn't tell you hello?

Ah, poor Ryan. He wants some loving around football building and coach wasn't giving him enough. Cry me a river, Ryan.

It's about time an ESPN analyst spoke the truth.

That wasn't his coach.

Did saban or Dinardo reach out to players from a diff era? Probably not.

shite Les prob doesn't or didn't know who Ryan Clark is. Many LSU fans didn't until he was in the NFL.

Considering Spears works for sec network, I doubt Les dodges him. And I don't recall him saying he was never welcomed back.


Ryan also doesn't give any context. Did you walk up to him out your hand out and he just ignore you, or was he doing a million things because he is the head coach and didn't have time to cater to the feelings of a player that never played under him?


I saw Les out once with his wife and he said hello to me and shook my hand. I'm a nobody. So I seriously doubt he malicious ignored Ryan Clark.

The pilot who flew Les around the majority of the time said he was arrogant. Les often wouldn't even speak to him [pilot].

Well former Les players liked Les... I think that is common for players consider with those that coached them
