Last year on the Tiger Rant, once Les was in some trouble, one LSU fan commented that he attended some practices with some experienced and successful La. high school coaches. The comment was that these experienced coaches that would know their stuff were unfavorably impressed with the organization and pace of the LSU football practices.

These high school coaches observed the LSU practices and concluded that their own high school teams actually have faster paced and more organized practices than Miles. They were surprised that Miles got quite a bit less done in the time alloted for practice than was accomplished at high school football practice in the same alloted time.

This high school coach observation happened who knows how long ago, but the story was told last year. It's obvious to me that the powers that be have put up with stuff like this from Miles for years. The LSU powers that be have never had a problem with this. With regard to what will happen in the future, who knows? I doubt that Miles's coaching seat is as hot as most LSU fans think it is right now. Miles has never been held to very high standards with regard to fielding a well-disciplined and well-coached football team. If he were to be held to these standards now, Miles would probably think it unfair.

Players LOVE playing for Coach Miles because Miles is not a demanding task-master that works them to death at practice. That's why in all Miles's years at LSU no former player of his has ever complained about him being an unreasonable task-master or jerk. Some former players have said that they question his integrity in what he says, but, not that he's a jerk because he is too demanding.
