Les Miles won't let hospital visit force him to miss practice

On Monday morning, LSU Head Coach Les Miles was checked into the hospital.

It appears that Les Miles was not feeling well as LSU’s Athletic Director, Joe Alleva explained why his coach was unable to attend his own scheduled press conference.

According to Alleva, Miles did not feel well this morning and seemed under the weather. The Tigers coach then proceeded to tell the athletic department’s trainers that he was not feeling well, and he was sent to the hospital. Once he arrived at the hospital, he was admitted as a precaution.

Coach Miles was released Monday afternoon, after experiencing flu-like symptoms. He is expected to be at LSU’s practice today, and afterwards he will speak on the incident.

Most of the players heard about the news through social media as they were sitting in their classes just as we did following along on Twitter. Turns out it was just a migraine for Miles who was back at practice hours later and getting his team ready for McNeese State.

It was a big day for LSU as they released their depth chart for the opening game with Brandon Harris the starting quarterback.

Best of wishes to Miles and hopefully this is a one-time event and he’ll be strong and healthy for the season ahead.
