LSU team revolt?
Got this from a friend in LA.
"
1-12-12): I just heard this from a friend with ties to the LSU athletic department. I am not sure if it is true or not but a lot of the pieces fit.
Apparently about 3 hours before the game T-Bob Hebert and Russell Shepard and 2 other receivers and a hand full of linemen got into a heated argument with Les Miles and the Offensive Coordinator about Lee getting more playing time and possibly starting the BCS Championship game. It got so heated that Miles benched T-Bob and RS and 3 other players.
He called Lee into his office and told Lee that he would not be playing in the game. The Offensive CO told Miles that he thought that Lee gave the team the best chance to win the game. Miles told the OC to start looking for a new job after the game and Miles will be calling the plays for the championship game.
Apparently the O Line sided with T-Bob and Lee and did not give their all in the game to prove to Miles that the players are more important then the coach. Now I know that this is hard to believe but when you look at some things it kind of explains a few things: I will list some:
Play calling: Read option pass on 3rd and 10 - 4 times.
Running the same 5 plays over 90% of the game.
Overall, Horrible play calling. Running the ball in the 4th quarter with 9 mins and down by 21. T-Bob Hebert not taking a snap in the game. RS only playing 3 snaps and not touching the ball or getting looked at.
Lee getting off the bus and walking 10 feet behind the team with his head down and looking dejected while walking into the Dome.
Heated argument between receivers and JJ and O Line with O line coach on sidelines. And the kicker, reports that 2/3 rds. of the plays that were practiced up to the game were not run and the players were not told why.
Again I do not know if this is entirely true but there seems to be a lot of truth in it just by seeing what happened in the game. "
