Related: About this forumLes Miles is a great football coach
But seems like he might be a heap short on the "book learning."
I dont understand the words. I mean, I really dont. If you think about it, I dont know what a tide is. ... I dont know how you put those two words together. LSU coach Les Miles, when asked, Roll Tide, what does it mean to you?
Maybe he should have asked Bill O'Reilly. "Tide goes in. Tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can't explain that."
I looked for a clip on YouTube, but didn't find it. I did see it on TV though.
Plus, his name is grammatically incorrect. It should be "Fewer Miles."

(2,838 posts)1. I like Miles a lot. He always seem just a little off kilter
and in the game you never know what he'll try and come up with that you would never expect. Will be a nice contrast Monday night compared to Saban who always seems like he's been constipated since birth.

When he was coaching the Dolphins, my friends in Miami use to tell me the players hate him, the office staff hates him, the press hates him, and the fans hate him. He had a terrible reputation of treating people like dirt.
