I think Miles has somekind of loyalty to players that have been in the system for a while. It is almost like he thinks they have payed their dues and earned the right to play and the younger guys have not.

Most other coaches will play your arse the day you arrive on campus if you are the best man for the job and miles doesn't do that.

The one thing that may make Mett successful is that MIles has no choice but to play him and stick with him.

He would have started Cam over Jefferson because Cam's skill set is similar to JJ's, except light years ahead.

plenty of underclassman have passed up older guys on the depth chart. However, it has yet to happen at the QB position.

Definitely used to be like that. Not so much the last couple of years. Jefferson was just a retarded man-love issue.

I would say that Jefferson has dirt on the program that he threatened to reveal if he didn't get to play....but who the frick would pay that shite head?

I think Miles was just infatuated with him for some reason. It was like he thought that Jefferson had the ability to be great and was just waiting on the light to come on.

Well, in fairness I think we should make sure its clear that JJ started the Superman celebration (worthy of 1st string IMHO).

Les Miles is top-2 coach in the country, except for when he wasn't just a couple years ago and half the fanbase wanted him fired (the same half that now faps to his gifs).

take and long deep breath and ask yourself if agreeing with bamascoop is really worth it.

Didn't Miles bench RS freshman Jarrett Lee for true freshman Jordan Jefferson in '08? If Miles favors older players so much, why didn't he go with someone like Andrew Hatch when Lee was struggling? Instead he burned Jefferson's redshirt and started him all four years over Jarrett Lee.

This is ignorant. All coaches choose experience over hype, especially at the qb position. Even lord Saban did it when he sat JR for Marcus Randle. Bama scoop is an idiot.

You call it loyalty, I say bad coaching.

J. Lee disagrees.

Maybe Les just gets confused when two upperclassmen are vying for the same position?
