LSU fans cry in attendance at what is likely the final radio show for Les Miles
Published:
It sure looks like the final days for Les Miles.
The last 11 seasons have brought great joy to LSU fans and they made sure to let coach hear it during Wednesday night’s weekly radio broadcast.
A capacity crowd provided Miles with a proper send-off in case this was it for the man who has made two two national appearances since 2007.
Miles answered questions about his future, thanked many young fans individually and reflected on his tenure in Baton Rouge during what quickly became an emotional ordeal.
LSU beat writer Ross Dellenger live-tweeted the experience:
