  Les Miles plans to coach football again. Under Armour Micro g Fuel .The former LSU coach, who was fired Sunday after his team got off to a disappointing 2-2 start, made that clear Monday on Dan Patricks radio show in Miles first public comments since his dismissal.I dont golf, Miles told Patrick. I play no tennis. I enjoy shooting the gun; I dont necessarily like to point it at animals. I play cards, not very well. But what I have done for probably 12 to 14 hours a day for the last number of years is coach football. So I would have a difficult time not being involved in the game and not being a coach.Miles boasts the highest winning percentage in modern-day LSU history (.770) and sits second on the schools all-time wins list with a record of 114-34. In his 11-plus seasons in the SEC, Miles teams claimed a 2007 BCS championship, played for another national title in 2011 and won three conference titles.However, the program has not lived up to its lofty expectations in recent years. The 2016 squad was a preseason top-10 team, but LSU fell out of the national polls after Saturdays 18-13 loss to Auburn dropped the Tigers to 2-2.Miles, who will turn 63 in November, said LSU athletic director Joe Alleva informed him of his firing at a face-to-face meeting Sunday. Miles said he did not fight the decision to end his LSU run in its 12th season.It was beyond fighting, Miles said. The enjoyment of being here, the enjoyment of the community, the experiences that my familys had, its too important to me to fight over. Its history. Its what we are. If they see that a change makes the Tigers better, then I am for them.Although Miles said a cultural divide within LSUs athletic department led to his exit -- school power brokers almost fired him in November in a highly public tug-of-war -- he thanked Alleva for the opportunity to address the Tigers at a team meeting Sunday.I recognize in those decisions so many times, you can see where its not necessary that the ex-head coach says goodbye, Miles said. But they gave me that opportunity, and I took advantage of it and did not stay long, but wished them well. They deserve the best. I think Ed Orgeron will do a great job for them, and I exited about as fast as I could.Meanwhile, at his introductory news conference on Monday, Orgeron vowed to tweak the program in several ways -- most notably an offense that was bogged down in recent years under Miles and departed offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.Were going to spread the ball out a little bit, do some different things, change the style of play, Orgeron said. Theres a lot of things on offense that weve done well running the football. We want to have a different passing game, we want to be more creative, find ways for the quarterback to get the ball down the field throwing it.Obviously we know that people load up the box on Leonard [Fournette] and Derrius Guice, Orgeron continued. We want to put the ball in our playmakers hands. We want to make short, easy throws for the quarterback and move the ball down the field, score points. Youve got to score points in our business.Miles has been in coaching since 1980, when he became a graduate assistant at his alma mater, Michigan. His weekends have been consumed with football ever since, with assistant coaching stops at Colorado, Michigan, Oklahoma State and with the Dallas Cowboys, and head-coaching stints at Oklahoma State (2001-04) and LSU (2005-16).This will be Miles first unscheduled fall weekend off in decades, and he said he isnt sure what he will do. His oldest son, Manny, is a walk-on quarterback at North Carolina, and Miles suggested he might make an impromptu trip to see the Tar Heels visit Florida State on Saturday.I think Ill see if my son can arrange a ticket, Miles said. I can tell you one thing, Im going to be rooting for the LSU Tigers, Im going to be rooting for the Tar Heels, Im going to be rooting for the Cowboys, and Im going to be rooting for Michigan.And then when Ben [his youngest son, a Nebraska commit] ends up at the school that hes committed to, then Im going to root for them. Its just the way it is. Curry 1 Basketball Shoes . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Mens White Under Armour Shoes . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. http://www.stephencurryuashoes.com/cheap-under-armour-mens-shoes/ua-scorpio.html . The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season. The patch, shaped like home plate, carries the number 715, Aarons autograph and a "40th Anniversary" banner. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Katie Ledecky delivered another dominating performance at the Rio Games, handily breaking the world record in the 800-meter freestyle Friday.Ledecky joined Debbie Meyer as the only women to sweep the three longer freestyle events at the same Olympics.Meyer took the 200, 400 and 800 at the 1968 Mexico Games, and Ledecky matched that performance with a couple of world records as well.Ledecky was merely racing the clock as she powered away from the field to touch in 8 minutes, 4.79 seconds, eclipsing the mark of 8:06.68 that she set at a grand prix meet in Texas back in January.Then she waited for the rest of the field to finish.Jazz Carlin finally touched in 8:16.17 to claim the silver, just ahead of Hungarys Boglarka Kapas, who grabbed the bronze in 8:16.37.Some 23 seconds after Ledecky touched the wall, the last of the eight finalists finally ended the grueling race.Ledecky was barely breathing hard.I hit all my goals right on the nose this week, said Ledecky, adding that her goal in the 800 free was 8:05 or better.Im just proud to be part of that history.Ledecky also became the third American woman to win four gold medals in a single Olympics, following fellow swimmers Amy Van Dyken and Missy Franklin.Four years ago, Ledecky seemingly came out of nowhere to capture gold as a 15-year-old at the London Games. Then, after her coach moved to the West Coast, Ledecky connected with Bruce Gemmell and never missed a beat.She called it a testament to the vision that Bruce and I had three years ago when we set these goals, and we werent going to stop until we met them.On the medal stand Friday, the emotions swept over her. She broke down in tears, relishing her accomplishmentss and surely thinking about all the work she put in to make it there.

The memories mean more than the medals to me.Also Friday, Maya DiRado denied Katinka Hosszus bid to become a four-time gold medalist at the Rio Olympics, pulling off a furious rally on the final lap to win the 200-meter backstroke.Hosszu got off to a blistering start and led almost the entire race. But DiRado came on strong on the final lap and beat Hosszu at the touch to win in 2 minutes, 5.99 seconds.DiRado couldnt believe what she had done in her one and only Olympics. She put her hands on her cap in disbelief when she saw her name on top of the scoreboard.Hosszu settled for silver in 2:06.05, and Canadas Hilary Caldwell took the bronze in 2:07.54.DiRado, 23, already has a job lined up in Atlanta after the Olympics and made it clear she would be retiring no matter the results. She certainly has nothing to complain about after winning two golds, a silver and a bronze in Rio.This whole day has been kind of crazy because its all of these little last things that Ive gotten to do, like my last warm-up with the girls at the training pool today, DiRado said. I wrote my parents an email this morning just saying thank you, and I started bawling on my bed, and then my roommates came in and comforted me. I tried to keep it all under control, but theres been a lot of tears these last 24 hours.The Associated Press contributed to this report. ' ' '
