Amidst a flurry of rumors and speculation, LSU announced its decision to keep Coach Les Miles at the helm of the Tigers. Perhaps all of the rumors were started by a few disgruntled boosters; perhaps all of the stories were incorrect. Regardless, after a flood of support from fans, players, and boosters alike, LSU AD Joe Alleva announced that Miles wasn’t going anywhere.
In true Les Miles’ style, the quirky coach not only left Saturday’s game on a wave of adulation — he was carried off the field by his players — he interrupted an SEC broadcast to lustily sing LSU’s alma mater.
