re: Miles' Halftime Talk to Team according to Jordy

I was there. The room was quiet. Miles climbed onto the chair and began to speak in a deep but slow voice. "I wanted so badly to take scalps but it was not my kill. We buried the bodies and the car in a deep pool in the upper Missouri. when Tristen was young I did not think he would have a long life but I was wrong. It was those that loved Tristen who died young. He was the rock they broke themselves against."
A team doctor walked toward Coach Miles, thinking I suppose that he had suffered a stroke. The Chief had many tears in his eyes and waived the doctor away. Chief said Les was having his vision quest and that to interrupt him would probably kill him. Coach Miles continued in perfect Native American dialect. "Tristen did live to an old age, and watched his children's children grow up. He died in the North country where the hunting was still good in 1963. He was killed by a bear. It was a good kill."
At this point you could hear a pin drop. Drake Nevis began balling like a baby. "Wake him up Chief! Wake him up! KiKi began backing out of the locker room. "I did not sign up for this shite!"
Suddenly it was over and Coach Miles was talking normal. He told us to take the field. We were relieved and fled outside still afraid but somehow grateful. We knew we would never be the same....

It's more likely that Shepard told everyone to win the game for Miles.

I might (might), think less of him if true. Doesn't sound right. Whining, begging etc.

I would beg to save a $4 million a year job. Just sayin...

i heard the speech started with, "Jordy, get the hell outta here...."

I'd like it if true -- it would mean that this team is behind him 100%

Ditto. I have heard that most all Tiger players would walk through fire for Miles and were genuinely pissed off over all the shots he has been taking.

Ditto to the others who said it doesn't matter what he said because it worked.

Maybe, just maybe, getting the absolute best effort from your players is one mark of a great football coach.

I doubt this is true. Les woud want them to win as a team and for LSU. Not him.

it would have been nice if he would have asked the team to win the Auburn game.


Word is that the team asked Miles to not coach like a moron in the 2nd half.
