He's basically saying Coach Miles leaked failed drug test rumors right before the draft because he left early.

To be fair, nothing he posted directly implicates Miles...and the "costly" comment could've been a compliment, as in him leaving would be costly to the team.

Or, Miles leaked it and is a bitch.

He should have thought his decision to leave early all the way out when he failed drug tests and then left early.

Or Miles was asked and he didn’t lie about it.

`So we love BK because he has us in the SECCG in year 1 but we hate Les Miles....who did the same thing.

Miles had to go because he could no longer field a competent offense and was too stubborn to change.

But let's not act like he wasn't a great coach overall when at LSU.

Miles was a GREAT recruiter and his players played hard for him!

Coaches burn bridges by lying to scouts. They have to be able to trust what their told. If he didn’t want news getting out of him failing drug tests then he probably shouldn’t have failed drug tests. No accountability whatsoever. I suppose it’s Les Miles fault he was suspended in the NFL for PEDs too

None of that proves Miles leaked anything. Not saying he did or didn't. It's possible he was asked and didn't lie. I doubt seriously Miles went out of his way to sabotage any former player. Even players leaving early. Lots of LSU players left early.

I find it curious that Collins claims to still “love” Coach Miles after miles supposedly attempted to sabotage his career?

If you failed a bunch of drug tests the coaches are gonna tell teams. Also since he was out of league for a bunch of failed tests it backs up the warning.

How when he waS drafted and cut? His career was his own doing and I don't remember him being projected a 1st rounder

I’m sure NFL scouts/management ask the college coach about players they’re potentially about to invest millions in. What was Miles supposed to do, lie and lose all credibility when asked about any other player that was able to not fail drug tests? That would be detrimental to every player with NFL aspirations that came through the door. Even if Miles did what he says it was the right thing to do. This from someone who wanted miles gone well before he actually was fired.

Context matters. A lot.
