The judge said whatever he said, then coaching staff said 'ok we'll let him back, but only if the team approves it', then that was presented to the team? Is that right?


Yes, it essentially added another hurdle to getting back on the team. If the team said "no" even if the coaches were alright with him coming back, he couldn't come back.

yes

Miles and staff essentially said "you have our vote (coaches), now let's make sure your teammates want you back"

Will the team be allowed input on Mills punishment just like they did with Hill's? It really isn't fair to Mills if he isn't allowed the same process Hill got, especially because this appears to be his first incident with the law while Hill had two

Hill's first incident was in HS

and no, I doubt it. You've completely missed the point, again, on that situation.

Yet another example of why the self-righteous amongst us who make shitty comments about other teams' players always get their comeuppance.

Like clockwork.

I guess LSU just got their excuse for when Bro Wallace goes in dry for a third straight year.

Mills is indefinitely suspended as of this morning according to Shea. Looks like Miles is going to let this play out before making a final decision on this. I like the move suspend him and see what happens. Once the dust settles either sit him a few games or kick him off.

So if the players said "we're ok with it", he was allowed to return. If the players said "we don't want him back", he would not have come back.


Sooooooo sounds like his return hinged on a team vote, yes? choctaw said earlier

its just that the "team vote" shite is stupid because you don't know what you're talking about


Sounds to me that the LSU fans have confirmed that, in fact, his return was predicated on a team vote. So now sure how that's incorrect or stupid.

Miles did ask the team if they wanted him back but that wasn't the final say. Les made the call.

You are absolutely correct.

However, the implication with saying "team vote" is that the coaches just allowed the team to make the first and only determination as to whether he was allowed back. Thus, putting his punishment in the hands of his friends. That is untrue.

However, the coaching staff made that decision.

It's a misleading headline to say that "team vote allows Hill back on team."

you're trying too hard

did you play competitive sports?

I'll let you in on a secret...Miles knew he'd be voted back. It was just to create some unity and put all the drama to bed and get back to football.

Miles has kicked off numerous players without allowing the team to vote. It came down to the coaches.

Stop reaching so far.

Step 1: Coaches said it was ok if Hill returns.

Step 2: They let the team decide if it was ok to let him back in their locker room after letting them down.


So yes, if the team said "No" he wouldn't be allowed back, which would be good because their would be locker room issues if he came back and they all hated him.

So you're saying the vote was just for show? Why even do it?
