"I guess what I'm saying is I'm in the key piece of my season where the big plays have yet to have been made. As I go into the next game, I look for those plays to be more important than anything that we've done in the past, and to say that I have any opinion to this point that would be finite would not. Really, I'm expecting this receiving corps to do the things that they've done in the past, and that is rebound and play like hell and play well. If they do that, that's just what I want to see them do. In many instances there is some developing going on, and there are some guys, in my opinion, who are a little bit nicked and will probably be playing with greatest health this Saturday." Very clear right?
This one was just shown to me a matter of minutes ago by McAuley:
'Les, what do you think of LSU's chances to make it to the SEC championship game?' ....'Well, we certainly have the want to qualify our sincerity.'
This one is my all time favorite. In response a question about the gulf coast oil spill. Pure gold:
Also, his newest oddity is that he apparently he enjoys to eat grass:
"(Synthetic tuft) is not nearly as tasty. ... I played baseball when I was a young man, I played football, and I always seemed to enjoy a blade or two every now and then. Not that it was a meal in any way. ... As a kid I'd have some and leave it there for a while. ... Traditionally I'll put my knee on the ground and look for a blade now and then."
There are websites devoted directly to him now and all his awesome verbiage. Check out this one some time for some laughs: http://www.thequotablelesmiles.com/
There is nothing not to love about this guy. For some reason a lot of people down here in Louisiana are down on him as a coach. These people are way crazier than the TN fans that were calling for Fulmer's head two hear ago. I think a lot of this stems from him being a little off in his verbal skills and that mad hatter persona that no one quite understands. I love him. I think he's great. I don't get all the hate. He's a good coach, makes ballsy decisions almost every game, sticks up for his players no matter what, and never back stabs other teams or players (see: Urban Meyer, Nick Saban). Also, every press conference is a guaranteed comedy show. The guy is great. I hope he continues to be LSU's coach for a long, long time.
