But Sunday, LSU firing Les Miles four games into the season was just a surprise on a day filled with news that ranged from the NFL to the demise of the King of Golf, Arnold Palmer (who a few years ago sung the praises of this newspaper when speaking in Little Rock), and the death of Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez in a boating accident.
Miles' firing became less and less the main topic of discussion as the day went on.
