What an asshole Miles is. This wasn't an offhand comment to a reporter. He's standing at a podium at a fan event.

but that he has questionable intestinal fortitude for leaving LSU for an inferior program close to home.

Jay's thread below included this quoted statement from Les about Gunner.

"He did not necessarily have the chest and the ability to leave a program close to home, just so you know,"

But if you watch the video, it sure sounds to me like he said:

"He did not necessarily have the chest and the ability to lead a program, just so you know."

The latter is definitely more pointed criticism, essentially saying that Kiel sucks. Of course, that invites questions as to why then Miles wanted him so much.
