LSU reloads in spring; Perrilloux’s maturity key to Tigers’ success
Responding to a customary “How are you doing?” inquiry at the start of our phone conversation last Friday, LSU coach Les Miles breezily remarked that he’s “just enjoying life.”
How could he not be?
Fresh off a celebratory visit to the White House and the recent recipient of a new contract reportedly worth $3.75 million annually, the coach of college football’s reigning national champions has had plenty to smile about lately.
But will his troubled-but-talented quarterback maintain that harmony?
The Tigers’ recent spring workouts showed the cupboard is hardly bare in Baton Rouge, despite the departure of such veteran standouts as quarterback Matt Flynn, running back Jacob Hester, receiver Early Doucet, defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey and safety Craig Steltz (most of whom could be seen standing next to President George W. Bush in those White House photos).
