(old thread) 2 lsu football players dismissed from team

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team

Daniel Francis is probably 3rd or 4th on that depth chart. He got some strong playing time last year... and he was even listed at second behind Prude at LCB at the beginning of the year.

CLM should look the other way and let these guys come back w/a slap on the hand.

 

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team

Negative. He's got a bad rep for letting the inmates run the asylum over at Sheephumper U. Gundy kicked out like 14 players after he left. I don't want the enemies of this program and our coach having any ammunition against it.

 

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team

Dont count a running back out of possibly making a move to DB.

 

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team

He's hardly got a bad rep for it. Oklahoma St had relatively few incidents during his tenure and players being kicked off after he leaves doesn't necessarily reflect on him.

 

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team

Exactly. The incidents didn't start until after Miles left. I saw it as a lot of kids testing Gundy in ways they didn't dare test Miles. And their gamble was a bad one.

You obviously don't visit opposing team's message boards much -- or talk to opposing fans much.

Explain guys like Prentiss Elliot, who had all kinds of incidents yet was allowed to stay on the team. I explain it away as "He had to do stuff like that at oSu", but his rep is bad nevertheless.

 

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team

Then, does this mean that LM is more tolerant than Gundy???

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team

That's his rep, at least among rival fans.

 

Re: 2 lsu football players dismissed from team

Deek, if you read the OSU boards, then you should know that the majority of the OSU fans could not get past Miles leaving. I have had to listen to the crap spewing from my sister and how snotty she has been towards Miles since he left OSU - when she loved him when he was there. All problems are going to be attributed to him, even tho there was no indication of when the problems occured. Was he perfect? No, but I think that to say Gundy inherited all the problems is also far from the truth. I also think Gundy was feeling the need to mark the program as "his".

I am an OSU fan, have been all my life. But I have been disappointed in the way Gundy has handled some things.

Did Miles overlook some things at OSU? Probably. Did all the problems occur on his watch? I seriously doubt it. Will Miles run a tight ship and clean program at LSU? I believe he will.
