When a reporter asks Miles if wide receiver Russell Shepard could be considered a "flop," the coach's passionate response shows the depth of dedication he has to his players, even though they may not be his biggest stars. Shepard came to the bayou as a top 10 recruit, but has not seen as much time on the field as one might have expected coming out of high school.
