LSU players defend Miles, LSU players defend 'Mad Hatter' Miles - College Football - Rivals.com “A lot of people don’t get his style of coaching, his style of pretty much just simply talking,” Shepard said. “But coach Miles, he’s a great dude, man. One thing people don’t realize is, he’s a great leader.”
That is the thing about Coach , he connects with the young guys and he brings em in! We are a QB and OC away from being fine unless there are 24 seconds to go and Les is making the calls on the sidelines. That will always be The Mad Hatter Zone!!!!!! I guess we can just have fun with it.
Nope... Just like when Saban left his house open to his players and let them fish in his backyard, etc... Can even invite recruits and their family over for dinner, etc...as long as it is covered under the expenses under an official visit or if unofficial they provide their own transportation.
Les Miles is a great man, I have no doubt about that. He's just not a great coach, and that's what we hired him for and need him to be. Good to see the players sticking up for him. That shows you what great character kids we have, and have always had under Miles.
Fishing and an extended stay are not the same. I could be wrong but to say "spend time with his family until he got comfortable" I doubt that would in just a day, or two.
Spending time doesn't mean what you are assuming. Most coaches in the country have open door policies at their homes. Saban's house was always like a party down the street from here. Players in and out all day for the weekends, holidays, etc...
