I HOPE COACH MILES CAN SOMEHOW GET THIS COMMENT. COACH, I CAN APPRECIATE THE WAY YOU HAVE HANDLED THIS WHOLE HYPE ABOUT YOU LEAVING. YOUR HONESTY FROM THE START TO FINISH WITH TALKS ABOUT LEAVING SHOWS TRUE INTEGRITY IN A MAN, NOT JUST A COACH. THE FANS OF LSU SHOULD BE PROUD. BY THE WAY, THANKS!

Miles is snake too for letting that happen. He will lie today to the media and try to be correct. READ MORE.
