LSU kicks quarterback Perrilloux off team

LSU head football coach Les Miles finally had enough of Ryan Perrilloux’s off-field issues had decided to kick the quarterback off the team.

“Ryan was given every opportunity to be a part of this football team,” Miles said in a release Friday.

Perrilloux, who was suspended by the Tigers last summer, was on the fringe of a counterfeiting investigation and was caught trying to enter a Baton Rouge casino with false identification. He also was involved in a fracas at a nightclub in November, but was cleared of wrongdoing.

Miles suspended Perrilloux, whose father died Feb. 7, in mid-February after he missed a team meeting, skipped some classes and was late for a handful of conditioning workouts.

It’s sad to see a young man lose his father and then head down a wrong road. But it certainly doesn’t seem that Miles acted irrationally and he definitely gave Perrilloux a chance to straighten up. Maybe losing football will inspire him to turn his life around.
