    Happy Birthday, Les
    3 hours ago
    LSU head coach Les Miles turns 61 years old on Monday, which marks the 10th time that Miles has gotten to celebrate his birthday as the lead man in Baton Rouge.

    The Tigers have won more games than any program in the Southeastern Conference over the span Miles has been on campus, capturing a pair of SEC titles (2007, 2011) and making appearances in nine bowl games, including the BCS National Championship Game twice. LSU won the BCS title in 2007, a year after beating Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.

    For the first time in school history, LSU has won at least 10 games for four straight years after posting a 10-3 mark in 2013. And despite some ups and downs this season, two more wins this month and a victory in the bowl game would give the Tigers five straight double-digit win seasons.

    In nine years under Miles, LSU has reached the 10-win mark seven times, including a 13-1 record and an SEC title in 2011. LSU claimed the BCS National Championship in 2007 with a 12-2 record capped with a 38-24 victory over No. 1 Ohio State in the national title game.

    Now in his 10th season, Miles has guided the Tigers to a 102-27 record since taking over in January of 2005. His 102 wins rank as the second-highest total among all head coaches in LSU history, trailing only Charles McClendon, who won 137 games in 18 years with the Tigers. Only McClendon and Bernie Moore (13 years) have had longer head coaching stints at LSU than Miles.

    Harris sends Miles a message
    48 minutes ago
    Monday is LSU's coach Les Miles' 61st birthday, and one of his first players to take to social media to wish him well was freshman quarterback Brandon Harris, who Miles recruited and signed this past February.

    "Happy birthday to one of the greatest men & coaches I know!" Harris said, adding "#TheFuture" to his tweet.

    As a freshman this season, Harris has earned one start and appeared in eight games, going 25-of-45 for 452 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. He's also rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns.

    With sophomore starter Anthony Jennings struggling in spots throughout the season, we could see Harris get back to the field in one of LSU's two remaining regular season games.

    he might. this may be like the AD's or owner's public vote of confidence in the head coach. usually fired within a few days.

    Its called selective reading. They read just the sources that say the sky is falling and then comment on only that. Usually Bama graduates since reading class is often left out of the degree program.:eek::D
