BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU football coach Les Miles has taken sides in a political fire fight, speaking against legislation that would overturn the university's ban on guns.

This morning, WWL radio reported that "some" believe "football coaches should stay out of politics." I disagree. In fact, I have long argued that head football coach should be a publicly elected office.

Update: My new favorite blogger, Jan Moller writes in the Legislative rundown:

The guns-on-campus bill is now drawing opposition from LSU football coach Les Miles, who understandably doesn't want armed men running around his campus after his team's disappointing 8-5 finish last season.
