Read the reddit post and digged a little, his name is Hayden Boudreaux and he was a walk on fullback. Literally never heard of him until I looked him up. I heard from other walk-ons that Les played favorites and didn’t really care about walk-ons. Probably the source of bitterness. This guy sounds like more of a lifelong LSU fan that walked on than someone Les recruited and actually coached. Not saying he is wrong, just providing perspective on the quotes.

I’ll also say that at any Power 5 program the head coach doesn’t need to spend any time on guys who will never see the field. I interpreted the zero respect bit as a guy who rooted for LSU his whole life being criticical of coaching deficiencies than how Les acted. If he were that much of an a-hole to players it would be much more widely known.

This doesn't bother me at all. This isn't old school college football or Peewee's. These are grown men playing on a stage equivalent to pro football. If you were good enough you'd be on scholarship. No problem that coach paid more attention to the players that are actually going to be on the field competing 100% of the time. Walkons are important to the overall team but I don't feel sorry for their hardships.

I've heard the exact opposite.


Look up Anthony Zehyou(sp?) a walk-on awarded a scholarship his senior year and got to dress and play in numerous games including the NC in 2007.


Difference is, he didn't quit like this kid probably did. He showed up every practice and got his arse kicked just so he could play football.
