Former LSU safety Ryan Clark criticizes Les Miles on 'Finebaum'

Former LSU safety Ryan Clark, who played for the Tigers from 1998-2001, was a guest on “The Paul Finebaum Show” Monday.

As one would expect, the state of LSU football was the topic of conversation. Clark did not hold back with some harsh criticisms for former LSU coach Les Miles.

In the eyes of former players, Miles was a “Michigan guy” coaching in Baton Rouge. A local reporter chimed in on Twitter to add context to Clark’s quotes:

@finebaum @Realrclark25 Especially the ones who played for Saban. That was brewing since about 2007.

"Les was a Michigan guy…sometimes people are just a Head Coach & not actually part of the culture or community"

Miles’ successor, on the other hand, received a ringing endorsement from Clark:

Should LSU drop the interim tag from Ed Orgeron's title? "If he gets this team to win out he has to be considered for the job" @Realrclark25 pic.twitter.com/UESfRJwVs2
