LSU’s Miles Rips QB Gunner Kiel Again

LSU coach Les Miles continues to pile on top QB recruit Gunner Kiel, who the coach had said didn’t have the “chest” to be the Tigers’ quarterback.

At a recent fan event, he continued to take aim at the inner fortitude of the Indiana native, who switched his commitment to Notre Dame after originally saying he would head to Baton Rouge.

“I’m not bitter. I’m glad he stayed there. I really mean it. Here’s the truth: If you don’t have some swagger to you and you can step into this stadium and be able to know the advantage that you’re playing with the Tigers and you’re leading the program that has some real weight and clout, then you really need to stay home with your brothers,” Miles said, according to CBSSports.com.

“I don’t mean that [negatively]. I’m for him. He gets a chance to come in here and compete and start on a team that is a great team. I really meant what I said. I was talking more about the confidence and swagger. I was not demeaning. If he shows up, it means he has all those things …”

Looks like it’s more sour grapes from Miles.

    Every college coach losses recruits but Miles can’t get over this recruit. He says it’s because the kid doesn’t have what it take however if that were the case then Coach Mile never would have said anything but he can’t let this one go. Coach is he that good ? man just let it go!

  • JohnF

    Get it over it Lesley…you wanted Kiel up until the time he decided your school wasn’t for him.

    I now believe in aliens. Where are these coaches coming from? Coaches should be leaders of all that is good in sports and not be an example of bad sportsmanship. Maybe sportsmanship is no longer part of collegiate athletics in Baton Rouge.

    • NDLOver

      Agree w/ you ~ A coach should be more mature than a young man entering college & LM does not show true sportmanship

    Aren’t there enough coaches doing damage to the game of college football without another one shooting their mouth off. Isn’t winning football games and getting millions of bucks in salary enough for you Miles? Don’t forget, these are 18 and 19 year old kids trying to make decisions that include more than just your selfish interest. Why don’t you call the great Lou Holtz and see if he would talk that same trash talk. When you grow up you’ll know the difference..

  • Tigernut

    After having an inconsistent QB in Jefferson and a timid QB with Lee, I think Miles knows what it is his team is lacking. They need a strong leader at QB. Period. Miles knows that that is all they needed to go all the way last year and he wants to make sure the next guy has some guts, chest, cojones, call it what you want.

    So, Kiel runs back to South Bend where he can be closer to his mommy and daddy.

    Miles made a good call on this one.

    For once.

      You just can’t blame the Kiel. He caught a coulpla episodes of Swamp People. Just scared the hell outta the little Indiana kid.

      Grow up~ a kid can change his mind esp w/ an education from ND that will get him farther in life than a degree from LSU~ sorry but it is so true~

    Kids go to Notre Dame to kill there football career. They get some of the best recruits in the nation and @%$# it up every single year.

  • Randy

    Miles doesnt have the inner maturity to move-on. He really needs to take stock of himself.
