First off the fact that many think Les is stupid is just amazing. I think Les knows just what he is doing and he has a act and he plays it well. I buy some of what he says to be just who he is but part of it is a game that he plays. I have been in a room with him waiting for him to talk and the talk he gave was amazing and didn't have the circle talk he gives to the TV folk. If you think this guy is slow or stupid you don't have a clue. He is a complete football coach and he already has Urban out of coaching and after Nick goes to Penn State he will own the SEC ! I think he is a great family man and he runs his team as a extension of his family. These young men both white and black feel the love from this guy and that is the KEY to what he does. The staff love him and have his back. He has a feel for football that few do and he could care less what the world wants him to do with his team. The stupid people could boooo for the rest of the season and he will play JJ just the way he feels he needs to. Les Miles is cool just the way he is and I hope he does not change at all - not at all!
But he was HOT inside when he made the firm statement that what the fans want does not influence what he does.

Hee. I think that fits Miles to a 'T'. What do you think our upcoming opponents think? Bet there are a bunch that are going to have to scramble to now prepare for two different styles of offense and 'skill sets'; glad I'm not one of them, would have to up the anti-anxiety med and invest in several bottles of Mylanta or Pepcid
