And the whole team fed off it. Especially the qb culture of playing as if walking on eggshells. Glad that mentality is gone.

In the practice of warm ups there is a significant opportunity to hide-from the opponent what you are going to do punting.

Alleva was overridden by a fricking president who cared more about the budget and appearance of academics over football. Would never happen in Gump World that is why Les stayed too long.

My personal favorite was in the Tulane game in 2007 when Flynn was playing hurt they taped up both ankles so the greenies couldn't tell which ankle the hurt one.

You frickers are brain damaged. The dude is gone. He registered 114 wins as head coach at LSU, versus 34 losses. He isn't perfect. It was time for him to go, as he would not adjust his offensive philosophy with the game changing the way it was.

Sabanistas and other childish fans trying to act like Miles' tenure was the 90s. It was the greatest era of LSU football - period.

Thank You for just a bit of sanity posted around all these a-hole posts.

Were you in the stands chanting for Les after he got fired? I was there and saw grown arse men with their lip quivering and crying.


I was there after the final game the year before saying goodbye. Why it dragged out longer than that, I'll never know, or care, or forgive.

I readily admit many coacges couldve won more than Miles did


That would make you a fricking moron. Many coaches would not have stacked the LSU roster with the talent he did.

YOU HAVE GOT TO EVALUATE THE WHOLE PACKAGE, not just the game day coaching.

Might explain why the majority of punts in that game were shanked. I remember Aranda giving the punter the death stare.

Was at the game and watched warm ups. Nothing true at all about that stament as far as him not kicking before the game. He went out with special teams.

If les miles said before the Wisconsin game "you make a great play for a touchdown, you do the leap". Then White does the leap and LSU pulls out the game and les miles is still your coach.

Right, seems like I recall reading that Miles had Brad Wing punt right footed in a spring game to not give away anything away to opponents.

Not being rude, I remember listening to one of his last pressers and being legitimately worried about the man. He couldn't string two coherent thoughts together. Senility, early onset dementia, I don't know.

He hasn't some weird approach to kickers with the same jersey and all. At the end of the day he never did anything different though which shows how crazy he was.

I'm pretty sure that tweet was intended as a joke. It's funny, I don't object.


quote:

Josh Growden will never forget his first college punt. It went 23 yards. “We were doing that rugby-style punt,” LSU’s Australian-born punter said. “We didn’t want (Wisconsin) knowing I was doing that so I didn’t practice it in pregame, so my first punt was my first kick of the day like that.”

No warmup, no practice, no nothing. The coaches’ desire for secrecy backfired, and Growden finished that season-opening loss against Wisconsin averaging 32 yards per boot — a sour career start.
