LSU head coach Les Miles says new coordinator John Chavis, who came to Baton Rouge after 14 years at Tennessee, will have a big impact on the defense. He expects the offense to improve with quarterbacks Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson both having some more experience. In other words, Miles is expecting much better results than last season’s 3-5 Southeastern Conference record. Miles says Jefferson would start at quarterback if LSU played today.
The LSU coach spoke to sportswriters today during the final day of SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala. He likes how his team has prepared in the preseason. Miles says the LSU football program is measured by championships and last season’s falloff from the BCS Championship was “not any fun.” Also, it was revealed today that South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier was the lone SEC coach to leave Florida quarterback Tim Tebow off the all conference first team.
