Les Miles plans to coach football again.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.

The Islanders reached their position by going 6-10-4 through their first 20 games, a stretch that featured eight one-goal losses.Following a 3-2 loss at San Jose on Nov. 25, the Islanders went 5-0-1 from Nov. 28 through Dec. 8. The Islanders were a period away from possibly getting a point Dec. 10 in Columbus but gave up four goals in a span of 12-plus minutes during the third period of a 6-2 loss.That was followed by a 4-2 loss to Washington Tuesday, a 5-4 loss to Chicago Thursday and Fridays 3-2 overtime defeat at Buffalo. In each game during this streak, New York has held a lead at some point and scored the games first goal.On Friday, Ryan Strome scored the first goal and Alan Quine netted a power-play goal for a 2-1 lead going into the third period.Its just frustrating, Strome said after the Islanders scored the first goal for the 10th time in 11 games. We play a good 40 minutes and the third period we kind of seem flat. Its kind of been the downfall of our team a little bit this year, our third periods and finding ways to win.In third periods this season, the Islanders have given up 35 goals, nearly half their total from last season when the team had 100 points and won a playoff series for the first time since 1993. New York has given up six power-play goals in the third period and 14 in the last five minutes of regulation.So many games weve been tied or had the lead going into the third, New York center Shane Prince said. Weve got to find a way to cllose it out.ddddddddddddOttawa has hit a rough patch in recent weeks by going 3-4-2 in its nine games starting with a 5-4 loss to Buffalo on Nov. 29. Before this slump, the Senators were 8-4-2 in their previous 14 contests.In this stretch, Ottawa has dropped three one-goal games, dropping its record to 9-2-3.The Senators nearly played another one-goal game Saturday in a 3-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. Zach Smith scored an empty-net goal after Derrick Brassard and Bobby Ryan scored in the first two periods.Mike Condon made 29 saves and the defenders in front of him blocked 18 shots with most coming in a six-shot third period for New Jersey.Winning teams, thats what theyre able to do, Ottawa coach Guy Boucher said. I like that twice we took away back doors, which has hurt us lately. I really like that we had a back door, box up mentality.Ottawa will play without third leading-scorer Mike Hoffman. Hoffman is serving the final game of his two-game suspension for cross-checking San Joses Logan Couture to the head on Wednesday.Smith replaced Hoffman on the top line with Brassard and Stone. He also had an assist as the line produced four points.My game doesnt change, but when you move up with guys like that, there is an obligation to put up points, Smith said. Im just glad we found a way to contribute.The Senators will hope for another night of key contributions without Hoffman, especially since after their first visit to Brooklyn, their next three games are against the Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks and New York Rangers.The Islanders are 7-4-1 in the last 12 meetings with Ottawa. Erik Karlsson scored the game-winner in overtime in Ottawa on Dec. 5, 2015 while New York had a pair of three-goal periods in its two home wins over the Senators on Jan. 22 and March 23. ' ' '
