I have seen the video. It definitely exists. I think the back story was that it was after a win and when they had their team meetings Miles surprised the team and did it. He told the team if it was on you tube he would cut the player that posted it. I know at least one guy caught it on his phone and it got passed around. I'll see if I can track it down.

Now that I think of it I'm pretty sure it was of him doing the Superman dance.

He’d lean out of the back window of the team bus and make robot noises to a woman in the crosswalk before telling her, “Take me to your leader.”
He’d also lead his teammates in making themselves human tripods by sticking one hand on the ceiling of the bus and his opposite leg up there as well while balancing himself on the backs of seats.
“He was kind of like Steve Martin’s ‘I’m just a wild and crazy guy,’” says Steven “Sonny” Sunageal, a high school teammate. “That’s a good description of him as far as how he acted.”
So at least we know he was always a little crazy back in the day and this isn't a new thing haha

Good job by the reporter. He actually did some research and an interesting article resulted.

The link still won't work for me!

Cameron remembers Miles often challenging Schembechler to take more risks, seemingly infuriating him and often earning Miles a reprimand of, "You’re the dumbest coach.”
“Right after that, he’d turn around and do what Les said,” Cameron says.
that was a great read

Good read, it helps to understand the man, he does love football.

Often wearing striped bell-bottom pants and platform shoes, Miles was also well known for his efforts with the opposite sex.

One of the best, most in-depth articles Ive had the pleasure of reading about our Head Coach.

Strange to see a sportswriter actually write an original article that required some research.

I think he perfectly captured the indescribable existence that is Les Miles.
Les leaves everyone dumbfounded. Even after interviewing all those people, Thayer Evans still gives Miles the benefit of the doubt...

He also knows that no matter how much he tries to explain himself, people are still going to consider him "crazy."
“That’s just what I am,” he says. “I can’t help it.”
With that, Miles winks before laughing like a jolly Santa Claus.
“The things we’re doing here are with a mindful eye,” he says. “That’s the best I can tell you.”
But don't let Miles fool you. He knows what he’s doing, and he knows exactly what he has to lose. Just like he always has.

When LSU wins @ Auburn this Saturday, Miles should take the team to midfield and pop & lock! Id approve of an extension after that!

Well no wonder JJ is playing. Miles doesn't want that video on the web.
