Absolutely Mike Detilier is full of shit! There is no question. Do you remember the "Kansas City Papers" incident? There were .like 12-15 NFL coaches that called out Detllier as being full of shit. Claimed untrue & irresponsible journalism. In Detillier's "Allegations", he even called Michael Clayton as an "Underachiever" under Les Miles. One problem, Clayton never played for Les Miles. Oops! The dumbest thing was his idea that college players should be able to step right into the NFL & play with little to no learning. Unbelieveably stupid. He also tried to rag on Joe Addai as well.. The point of his "Essay" centered around Tyson Jackson & Glenn Dorsey. In Kansas City. New players. One won the Outland Trophy, the other was a 1st round DL as well. NFL prople just laughed at this out loud. "So, he won the Outland & Lombardi, but Les Miles is a bad coach? You know he just win the NC game right?" Tyson & Glen play on my team, right? We do different things in the NFL than college". 'ol Mike was humiliated.
That year after his silly Kansas Papers, we won 11 games, year after that won 13 games. 3 years after that article we went 34-6. including 2 against Mike's baw Saban & Bama. He is now a coctail party joke in Baton Rouge. Ask Detillier how much he loves Saban. Funny Saban hates his ass from what I've heard.
Why did we start losing more games after 1/9/12? A couple of high powered politicians got pissed off & it went from there to the Board to Alleva. A whole bunch if shit started to happen to the coach fresh off winning us the SEC Championship. I'll just post 2. You know Miles tried to get Aranda the year before he actually got him right? Alleva said no through the BOS. Miles didn't want Steele, that's what he was offered. Also a ton of people here still think he was "Tied to Cam Cameron". That's BS. He asked & was denied permission to interview a new OC, by Alleva. I mean Jesus Christ, Miles even said THE very Day he hired Cam, the 2 had decided their friendship would not end over a job. . And it didn't. There is so much more...denial of plane use, denial of ticket use for major recruits, not in LA. etc. etc. Bullshit people wouldn't believe. Oh yeah one last thing our fans believe. "Chief quit on Miles" What? Uh No. He let Miles down against Bama after scoring the go ahead TD. Miles gave him another year, which Joe & friends turned into 2 years. But Miles suggested that he "Look around". He & Chief don't dislike each other, BTW. Even Chief started having his own trouble with Alleva. (Long before the contract thing).
Point being, when you have a AD & BOS deny you reign over who you hire fire your staff, they don't want you to win. Period. They want you out. Les Miles was a Political Firing & he got fucked over, for years. He just kept winning though, until they compromised him so badly. I very unfortunetaly know some of these people.
I don't expect you to believe much of this, obviously you think Mike Detillier & "Superfan" Dandydon's son Scott's site are important to LSU. That's fine, but honestly they aren't. When you work at LSU Legal..none of this is exactly secret. And there is a TON of paper trail on both sides to prove it.
As for 3 LBers on scholarship when Dave Aranda got here? Better look again.
