Miles handled the Jarrett Lee situation badly, I thought. Putting him into a game only to take a knee on the final snap hints at derision or contempt.

If Jarrett Lee is your savior, you are in sad shape! Did Bobby Hebert sleep through all Lee’s previous games? The guy was a pick six waiting to happen.

[...] backing down from his boorish behavior at Les Miles’ postgame presser on Monday. As you’ve surely seen by now, Hebert — the father of Tiger O-lineman T-Bob Hebert — let loose with the kind of rant [...]

“A lot of people might have been thinking that, but Hebert was way out of line in voicing it as he did and, as a result, he comes off looking like an [blank] this morning.”

I agree, 100% uncalled for. You’re not the coach of the #2 team in the nation. You have not national championships to your name. You haven’t been doing this for 20+ years. What makes you feel qualified to try and preach to Les Miles? Really?

I gained respect of Les after this, because he handled that very, very well. I wouldn’t have taken it so calmly. I’d be lying if I said I 100% agree with keeping Jefferson in for every snap, but Miles knows his personnel better than every one of us arm chair coaches, so as obvious as it may seem to us, I’m sure that there’s a perfectly sound and reasonable reason as to why he kept Jefferson in. This is the National Championship game, he’s not going to just give it away for no reason.
