Back off, Les Miles.

And for you, Anger Management Kelly, I grant you full power to let loose that flow of invectives usually reserved for your quarterbacks on the sidelines on Saturday afternoons and spew them at Miles, who went way over the line in criticizing the Irish's No. 1 recruit, Gunner Kiel.

Kiel, from Columbus, Indiana, the No. 2 quarterback in the nation according to ESPNU rankings, reneged on an oral commitment to the Tigers and instead opted for South Bend, where he is already enrolled. In fact, Anger Management Kelly said Kiel will compete for the No. 1 job and even wear No. 1.
