Les Miles continues gushing over Australian punters
Known as the "mad hatter," Les Miles is one of the more unpredictable coaches in the country, except when it comes to recruiting his punters.
The LSU coach, long known as one of the best quotes in the sport, offered humor when asked what he looks for in the position.
Les Miles on his punters: "If the guy can't speak Australian, I'm not interested." #LSU

The punter duties at LSU have been handled by an Australian since 2010, when Brad Wing held the job. After Wing graduated, fellow Aussie Jamie Keehn took over from 2012-15 before moving on.
The Australian pipeline isn't finished, as redshirt freshman Josh Growden hails from The Land Down Under, and should hold the punting duties this year.
It seems there are two things you can count on with the LSU program - solid Les Miles quotes and Australian punters.
The Tigers open the season Sept. 3 against Wisconsin at Lambeau Field.
