Les Miles and SEC Media Days

HOOVER, Ala. (AP) - LSU coach Les Miles seems to have a knack
for taking the onus off his players before coming into this state.
Defending a national title? Finding a quarterback?
Those were all hot topics during the Tigers’ visit to
Southeastern Conference media days on Wednesday, but so was yet
another Miles’ playful poke at Alabama - coached by his LSU
predecessor Nick Saban.
Miles told fans at an LSU booster club meeting in New Orleans
last week “not to make too much of that (Alabama) game, as it
seems like a lot of teams in Louisiana beat that team.” It was a
reference to the Crimson Tide’s embarrassing loss to
Louisiana-Monroe last season.
It wasn’t brought up until the second question: How would
Alabama fare against the 12 colleges in Louisiana? This time Miles
didn’t bite.
Miles said he has great respect for the Tide and its tradition.
His players said the comment was just Miles showing his sense of
humor.
