Check out Les Miles' Ridiculous Security Detail for Game at Alabama

After years of rolling out one formidable football squad after another, LSU head coach Les Miles has decided that itโ€™s time his security detail followed suit:

While most head coaches typically rely on one or two security officials to accompany them during their halftime on-field interviews, Miles had six.

State troopers, U.S. Marshals, former Secret Service agents; your guess is as good as mine. Heck, I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if these guys turned out to be the real-life version of The Expendables.

Not surprisingly, the Twittersphere was on top of it.

One fan pointed out an officerโ€™s uncanny resemblance to a popular โ€˜90s mascot:

Given the overall size and build of the security detail, the Florida Times-Unionโ€™s Ryan Oโ€™Halloranย tweeted about the potential interest from the Jacksonville Jaguars:

"

The #jaguars are signing one of Les Miles' security guards to play left guard tomorrow.

But letโ€™s be honest, even they wouldnโ€™t be able to do enough to make Blaine Gabbertย look like an NFL quarterback.

Others even compared the size of Milesโ€™ entourage to that of popular political figures:

"

Does Les Miles have as much security as Governor Jindal? #geauxtigers

"

Les Miles has more security than President Obama.

โ€” Pat White (@PatWhiteSports) November 10, 2013"

Who knows? Maybe the 59-year-old is preparing himself for a career in politics?

Then again, itโ€™s most likely any potential political opponent would tear him apart for his colorful language and ignorance of common traffic laws. Not to mention, Iโ€™m sure eating grass wouldnโ€™t really fly with the undecided voters either.

Whatever the case, it all made up for one intimidating line of defense for Miles.

That's something he didnโ€™t get from his Tigers in Saturdayโ€™s 38-17 loss to Alabama. A game in which LSUโ€™s defense was picked apart for nearly 400 yards of total offenseโ€”including 193 yards on the ground.

But while itโ€™s safe to say Miles wonโ€™t be entering his 60th birthday (Nov. 10) in a good mood, thereโ€™s no doubt heโ€™ll be well protected.
