I disagree with you , I will make this short and simple . Two reasons he did not come to LSU . 1st the way Miles treated J Lee , and they way Miles did not coach in the BCS Title Game . Miles did not coach to win that game !
I wish he would have called him out by name. Then called out the top three recruits that left the state. That is why I dont coach, I guess.
Hey, look at it this way....the media is always hungry for Les speak and his distinct interviews. So, there is room here to assume it was something the hatter planned to say. Besides, he is ticked and didn't say anything really horrid. A bit harsh, maybe but hey.
IF that were the case, then CLMs comments just galvenized Kiels decision in his mind and that of his family's. Not saying that your comments are necessarily accurate, I don't know either way, but if I were Kiel and got wind of CLMs comments, it would just make me feel like I did make the right decision. I don't think it is productive for CLM to say something like that about anyone.
I disagree, if that would've been the case then it would have nagged him enough not to commit the first time. Pretty sure it was momma's empty nest syndrome in full swing here.
You see this all the time, kids get homesick, thats life. But in this case, sooner or later, Moms got to cut the cord. This is life, both will be better for it.
So in one paragraph you state this is an issue of moral fiber and then follow it up with more CG complaining. Something tells me you would mind much less if LSU won on the 9th. Let it go brother...
Stupid move Les...STUPID!!! All this does is add to the bad "perception" that is out there (note I said perception and not reality), coming off a recruiting class in which we failed to sign the top three in state prospects. Not that the class isn't solid, or fills needs, etc....but the perception created by losing the state's top three players is not good, no matter what the reason(s) were. This was Bush League Les...you are better than this. You took a shot at an indecisive 18 year old...Really?!?!? Really?!?!?!? C'mon man...
So Les had a slip of the tongue. Probably shouldn't have said it, probably regrets saying it, probably one of the more candid responses from Les that we've seen. It is not the end of the world and unless Kiel turns out to be an All-American and Heisman candidate Les will be off the hook.
