my bad but the story is true as far as miles high school coach I dont think these guys were bull sh@@ers.:tigerhead :crystal: :crystal: :tigerhead
I liked your story. I pictured the HS football coach and Miles in some manner of montage with The Courtship of Eddie's Father in the background.
its ok Murph. some of these folks make mistakes too. ( except me ) lol you're good to go. welcome to tiger forums. :thumb:
There's only one problem with this story. Les Miles never coached high school football. He came from private business (I think a trucking company... he started right out of college). About two years out of college he begged Michigan's coach Schembechler (sp?) to allow him to come coach. At first, refused Schembechler refused but Miles was persistent and hired him as a graduate assistant. he left Michigan for Colorado returned to Michigan, went to Oklahoma State, then Dallas Cowboys and back to Oklahoma State. i may have missed a stop or so on the way but he was never a high school coach. Not saying Murph is lying but I believe he was sold a bill of goods... another reason to stay off the sauce.
You sound like you know you sh@t. I was not sure myself . Idid see the guy walk in a private entrance and talking to miles over the wall behind our sideline. I think I will check a little further before I post next time. :tigerhead :crystal: :crystal: :tigerhead GEAUX TIGERS
Murph...I dont know what to say. I'm disapointed. You didnt have your facts, buy you ran with the story anyway. I stood up for you, Murph. No more! :cry: [friendly sarcasm face here]
yep. his full bio is on lsusports.net. every time i hear the story of how he started coaching (which was for schembechler) it is that he was in business and took a big cut in pay to follow his heart and go into coaching. and all positions have been either in college or the pros since then. however, i do believe his heart and soul are in this lsu team. :thumb:
Ouch. Ol' Murph gave me red for the "Kentucky Uildcats" comment. :bncry: :bncry: :bncry: :bncry: :bncry: :bncry: :bncry: :bncry: :bncry: It's cool Murph. When you sober up, you'll feel bad for what you did. Geaux Murph!
