If you don’t want to go to his school, Les Miles has no use for you
Les Miles has never been a shy man. He’s gonna eat grass on the field when he wants to. He’s gonna say what’s on his dadgum mind, and dadgum you if you’re going to disagree with him.
Speaking to a group of boosters and fans last night during National Signing Day festivities, Miles shared his thoughts on high school prospects from Louisiana who choose not to go to LSU.
“And if he finds a way to wiggle out of the finest state in America? If he finds a way not to enjoy Louisiana? If he doesn’t want to stay home? To hell with him.”

Anyone who has heard Miles speak knows this is pretty much the norm for him. In fact it’s a little surprising that Miles didn’t take the extra step and say to hell with any recruit who goes to any school besides LSU, or anyone who decides not to play football, or go to college at all.

Of course this means that Miles himself, an Ohio native but an alum of the University of Michigan, would be breaking his own rule, and so must send himself to hell. One imagines he won’t appreciate the irony, though.
Miles, 61, is entering his eleventh season as LSU head coach after taking over for Nick Saban in 2005. He is 131-50 in his coaching career with one BCS national championship.
One imagines that for Miles, who describes himself as a “strong Christian,” this hell thing is a serious business, and he’s generously trying to save the souls of Louisiana recruits by sparing them eternal damnation in the fires of hell.
However, as far as we know, Les Miles does not actually have the power to send high school football players to hell, so you can rest easy, Louisiana prospects.
Despite Les’ apparent lack of knowledge of the fact that some people want to leave their home state, LSU has landed the No. 7 recruiting class according to Rivals.com. Les has yet to damn classes one through six to hell, but that announcement should be forthcoming.
