BATON ROUGE, La. --?LSU?star running back Leonard Fournette echoed the sentiments of many of his teammates upon learning about the firing of 12th-year head coach Les Miles.At the end of the day, I love him. I just hope the best for him, the Heisman Trophy contender told reporters Sunday following a team meeting.?Fournette, who missed the first 20 minutes of the impromptu meeting because of a doctors appointment, said he spoke privately with Miles afterward.?Im going to keep that between us, Fournette said in reference to the conversation.Miles, one of the most successful coaches in SEC history, was fired as head coach of the Tigers after a disappointing 2-2 start. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and assistant director of football operations Dean Dingman were also let go.Defensive line coach Ed Orgeron, who went 6-2 after taking over for Lane Kiffin as USCs interim coach in 2013, will replace Miles as interim coach, and tight ends coach Steve Ensminger will serve as the new offensive coordinator.Miles and Orgeron both addressed the team at the meeting.That man (Miles) is so passionate about LSU, safety Jamal Adams said. Hes been here for 12 years, he recruited me and I think that he was just very emotional as far as letting go. But he wants to do what was best for us.It was also an emotional meeting for his players.When he came and he gave his speech, it touched me, senior wide receiver Travin Dural said. You could feel the pain in his voice, you could hear it. He almost broke down, but you could tell he loves this program, he loves this school. He loves every one of us. Hes a players coach. If anybody tells you different, I dont know what their experience was with him. I have nothing but great memories with him. Everyone has great memories with him.Orgeron emphasized teamwork when he spoke to the players, bringing out a piece of rope as a symbol that they must all pull in the same direction to finish the season successfully.Dural suggested that Orgerons message was something the team needed to hear.A couple of us might have been looking on to the NFL, Dural said. A couple of us mightve just been worrying about stats, and that kind of hurt us. It showed. A couple guys missed assignments, tried to do too much. But looking forward, I think we have a new outlook on things. I think the programs going to move forward.It wasnt a day for positivity around LSUs football facility, but center Ethan Pocic said the Tigers can gain some level of confidence from Orgerons prior experience in this kind of situation. USC was 3-2 and going nowhere after a 62-41 loss to Arizona State when Orgeron took over for Kiffin in September 2013, only to lead the team to a 9-4 record and top-20 final ranking.Coach Os a fiery guy and now that this all happened, being sad and stuff like that, thats not going to help us, said Pocic, whose team hosts Missouri on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network). We just want to go play ball on Saturday.Sunday was not about Orgeron, however. LSU will officially introduce its interim coach at a luncheon on Monday. The sting of Miles departure was still too fresh Sunday for the focus to be on anyone but the longtime coach.He has been one of the sports most popular, quirky figures for more than a decade, and the players unanimously agreed they will miss Miles presence greatly.Hes a different guy, he has a different sense of humor, he has a different way of going about doing things. ... He did a lot of great things and he brought out the best in all of us, Dural said. He was a players coach. He taught me a lot of things and I experienced a lot of things with him, and Im going to miss him. Everybodys going to miss him -- the whole program, the whole state of Louisiana, all LSU fans -- were going to miss him.

After two Stanley Cup titles in four seasons, this was a no-brainer. The Blackhawks announced a three-year contract extension for Quenneville on Friday, kicking off their annual fan convention with a crowd-pleasing move that keeps the coach in Chicago through the 2016-17 season. The 54-year-old Quenneville is 222-106 in five seasons in Chicago. He led the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup in 2010, ending a 49-year drought, and then coached them to another title this year. "I think you always know what youre going to get with him and I think thats probably the biggest thing for us, why we have success," defenceman Duncan Keith said before Game 5 of this years Stanley Cup finals. "Hes level-headed, brings that even-keel attitude to the team." Quennevilles deal was set to expire after the upcoming season, but general manager Bowman had said an extension was a priority andd the coach talked all along about how much he enjoyed being part of the organization.dddddddddddd This is Quennevilles third stop as a head coach in the NHL. The former defenceman is 660-389-77 in 16 seasons with St. Louis, Colorado and Chicago. He won the Jack Adams Award, which is given to the head coach who has contributed most to his teams success, in 2000 with the Blues and was a nominee for the award again this year. Quenneville led Chicago to a NHL-best 36-7-5 record this season. The Blackhawks earned at least one point in each of their first 24 games, setting an NHL record. The Windsor, Ontario, native was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round of the 1978 draft and played 803 games in parts of 13 seasons in the NHL. He is one of two men in NHL history to play in 800 or more games and coach 1,000 or more games. He has recorded at least 40 wins in nine of his 10 full seasons as a coach. His best total was 52 victories with Chicago for the 2009-10 season. ' ' '
