How I think the Les Miles coaching situation went down

Cocked and loaded. :lol:

 

I find your post a bit contradicting. On one hand you talk about the team preparing for the game but on the other hand you talk about the statement being made by Miles to prevent the team being distracted.

I post the question as to "if the team was preparing for the game do they do so watching Gameday?"

It just doesn't pass the logic test.

 

why?

 

The morning of a game is probably more about getting mentally ready to play ball. If that means watching your coach embarrass Herbie, then who cares. It took less than 5 minutes. Last time I checked we have a staff of coaches that I'm sure was with the team. And we won the game? So what difference does it make? That's what doesn't pass the logic test.

You can keep hating on CLM if you want Terry. This was his defining year for you remember? He's in the BCS NC game. Get over it.

 

I don't see how a story of that magnitude (Miles to Mich) could not get to the players. Even during gameday prep. Miles didn't want it on his teams minds at all. So he adressed it to them, and to the public, so that it wouldn't keep filtering in from the outside.

I doubt if we'll ever know the whole story, so there's no way that anyone can say for certain exactly what went down.

I'm going to take my at his word. Yes, coaches lie about jobs all the time, but unless I see proof he lied (like a certain nameless coach at another SEC school) I see no reason to doubt his explanation.

 

I know you won't name your source because it's not credible. Credible sources can go on the record. Your's either can't, won't or simply doesn't exist. Pick your poison.

I suppose this is an attempt to make me feel self conscious? While I do not feel self righteous in regards to this subject, I do feel vindicated by the press and the direct statements of all the parties involved. When a rival fan comes on to this board and fans the flames that our Coach resoundingly put out 3 days ago, I will speak up. Your coach was roasted in the press for being a liar. Bama fans are understandably sensitive about this. However, when a similar situation evolved for our coach, he handled it differently and with integrity. Nobody can provide any evidence that this is not the case, and I am sure it burns you that much more. I am unconcerned as to how this affects your daily life, but I will demand a statement that contradicts the facts to be backed up with evidence, and so will everyone else here.

You refuse to provide facts that our coach is lying, so on this subject, you may as well shut up. Otherwise you will continue to damage what little reputation you have.

 

:huh: Is someone seriously trying to say that the team had to physically watch Gameday to know that ESPN was reporting that Miles to Michigan was a done deal? Seriously? :rofl:

I don't have cable anymore (****ing cable company), nor are my friends and family the most technically advanced people around, yet I "heard" about the ESPN report before I even turned on my local station. By 10 minutes until the presser, I had three phone calls, one text message, one IM, and one email from people about it. My husband, who is not an LSU alum nor a big football fan, had FIVE coworkers email him because they know I am a huge LSU fan. Not to mention it was all over every football message board. Seriously, everyone was talking about it Saturday morning, and it defies logic to think that the players would have found out about the ESPN report even if they didn't watch the show. I doubt more than 10% of the people who found out about it on Saturday watched the show. The rest was good old fashioned word of mouth.

 

But you don't understand. That simply is not part of "the process".:lol:

 

To answer the silly question he keeps posing... They weren't watching ESPN, but I would suspect that they had their phones handy. You know how them young whipper snappers love to text message.

I think this article lays out what happened Saturday morning pretty well. So take your Bummer theories of Miles lying back to Saban land and enjoy your trip to Shreveport.
