A strong opinion from Stewart Mandel.
Do the right thing
LSU's Miles should dismiss troubled QB Perrilloux
...
Miles' ongoing handling of Perrilloux has become the most high-profile double standard in all of college football, one made all the more glaring by the spotlight that comes with winning a national championship and the fact that Perrilloux, last December's SEC title game MVP, is no longer a backup. If anything, he's arguably the Tigers' most indispensable player heading into next season, seeing as their only other quarterback options are a freshman who redshirted last season (Jarrett Lee), an incoming freshman (Jordan Jefferson) or a walk-on transfer from Harvard (Andrew Hatch).
...
In fairness, we don't know what personal circumstances might have led to Perrilloux shirking his responsibilities. For one, his biological father recently passed away, though the Times-Picayune reported that the two were not close and that Perrilloux had begun to run astray before that.
...
During the Tigers' championship run last season, Miles became synonymous with his unusually bold calls. It's time for him to make what would be his boldest call yet: To send his star quarterback packing.
