re: Lunch With Les Thread

People expecting Les to say anything difference need to stop fooling themselves. Les wants his players to like him. That's one major thing he cares about, and is a reason that some players felt like they had an unlimited length of leash, but in the end, Les had to do something.

That said, LSU lucked out big time to win despite numerous mistakes Saturday night, but same could've been said for UF. Les isn't Saban, nor is he Spurrier. He isn't going to call out his players and tell the public he expects significantly more from them. He'll call out a player not on his team like Kiel, but not one of his own.

It's how he is, and while I appreciate that he does what he can to protect these players and their egos, it sometimes comes at the detriment of the team like with JJ who became delusional about his play.

In the end, this team likely goes 6-6 or 7-5 at best right now, and next year will be interesting, but there is no point in overanalyzing Les anymore. He is what he is.
