I would feel differently if Eric Reid or Brandon Taylor said Les wouldn't talk to them.


Same for me.

I'm sure Saban is all hugs and kisses with Bama players from the 90's.

Some of this stuff is getting silly.

Ryan was gone a long time before Les got this job.


So Les only welcomed players that played for him? Oh, great.

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

Clark also called Florida cowardly and classless in their handling of the game.
ok, nevermind. I like Ryan.

He sure didn't. You can tell how much he cares about LSU.

I understand he didn't play for Miles, but I would think with someone that represents the school so well, you'd want them around the program.

He got to say how every LSU fan feels about the FLA situation too

I'm friends with one of the nicest former players that played for both Nick & Les...He won't say much or bad-mouth his time with Les, but he will definitely say great things about Nick.

As a program, you should want all the ex-players as recruiters for the school. Also, Clark is not the 1995 backup long snapper. He is a player who probably played beyond his potential, has Superbowl rings, and is an ESPN analyst. His is what every player from HS,College, and the NFL wants to be. If I was Miles I would lay out the red carpet for him.

Not sure why Les was dickish to ex players


Starts and ends with Ryan playing for Saban, I imagine.

It's always hilarious when the old regime is replaced and all the "atrocities" are brought to light. It's especially funny when the former regime was looked upon as something completely different than what the revelations that come out suggest.

That Dingleman dude they fired was probably the guy that was supposed to keep Les up to date with who's who at LSU.

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.

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

He was talking asked about being asked to speak to the team. He started talking about Les after he was asked how much interaction did he have with the team in the past

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