LoL there is about 4 million reasons, and not to mention that that entire fanbase hates him, that Nick Saban won't end up at LSU. Spurrier, I don't know. He might jump to the more talented team.

They don't hate Nick Saban, they hate that he is at Alabama. I personally think it's just a pipe dream for LSU, expect to hear his name in the mix until LSU makes a hire. The fans, for the most part, would love to have him pack in purple and yellow. The school has the money to do it, but the media shitstorm and having to move after a year just seems to be enough to keep Saban in Bama.

Spurrier had his name in the hat back when Saban left LSU and is thought to have some interest in the job. I think he's living his dream right now though, no pressure and plenty of time to golf. That being said, Spurrier in BR wouldn't surprise me.

Other names that will probably get involved are Tommy Tubberville, Jack Del Rio, Pete Carroll (everyone knows that LSU is a better job right now than LSU), and Bill Belichick.

There is no way Nick Saban is going to leave Alabama right now. I know the media and fans are all over his case, but I would be severly pissed off if we lost Saban. I think Spurrier ends up at LSU, and I was reading an article yesterday that said who would replace Spurries at SC but I forgot the name.

Needless to say next season, the SEC will not have a bad coach on the roster...

Why does everyone refer to one dollar as one reason. Why not one cent for a reason? Or it should probably be more. One dollar isn't a good reason more me to do something I don't want to do or work somewhere I don't want to work. Would you do what I told you to for a dollar? Probably not. Neither is ten dollars. One hundred dollars isn't either. I would say even a thousand dollars isn't enough. Although that may be different from person to person. Ten thousand dollars might makes me start thinking about it, but I still would do what I want to do. Now a hundred grand is a damn good reason. Fifty grand is probably a good reason too. To get a reason and not just a good one might be a bit less, depending on the person and their standard of living of course. I wonder why no one had thought about this before and continues to use this old expression. Saban's money may just be about fifty reasons to him, or just one reason altogether.

You can't say that Saban is interested in money. If im not mistaken, Saban took a pay cut to coach at Alabama.

[dkgojackets]

Everyone is interested in money, some just moreso than others.

[Leak2Troupe03]

Pay cut, I think he is getting paid more by Alabama than he was Miami. Not 100% sure on that though.

He's not, but that doesn't mean he isn't gettting paid a shit ton.

[IXI B@CkSt0P IXI]

He took a cut of like 1.4 million I think...

My "sources" in Baton Rouge are saying that the Miles deal to UM is as good as done. I figure we'll hear the announcement on Sunday or so. This isn't official, but you heard it here first...

Oh and I want to add there is talk out of Fayetteville that Tommy Tubberville may jump ship over to Arkansas. I'm 100% sure they have been in talks today but there may be some issues with BOT demands on CTT that will keep him in Auburn. Just something interesting.

[IXI B@CkSt0P IXI]

Local news station picked up the Tommy Tuberville story. They did indeed have conversation today. Here is what I think is going to happen so far.

Miles to Michigan
Spurrier to LSU
Tuberville to Arkansas

Im still thinking of who is going to go to SC and Auburn, but I have a couple of candidates in mind.

[LjSnUo]

I want Tuberville in Baton Rouge. Build a dynasty.

[Sportsbuck]

I hope Miles goes to UM.

Good luck on having whoever comes in building a dynasty Jeff, it's just not going to happen though.

I will say this, Tubberville would be amazing for LSU's program. He knows how to win, and not having to share the state of LA with any other big schools is a huge plus. Tubby at LSU is a scary thought to be honest, much scarier than Miles was at least.

Well, Nebraska has assured themselves of more mediocrity for the near future. Bo Pelini has been rumored to have been hired. I believe Pat Forde at ESPN has confirmed if I'm not mistaken.

Makes me very happy to see Michigan is getting their John Cooper. Jon Tenuta is rumored to be coming to Michigan with him to replace Ron English as DC.

[Sportsbuck]

Damn, that excitement lasted about 5 minutes.

Reports are stating that Miles has reached a multi-year extension with LSU.

This is one damn confusing situation. Rivals has him staying, as do many Michigan websites, while Scout and ESPN both have him leaving.

All rumours at this point. Let me know when something official happens.

Also sportsbuck, you really need to stop with the alternating caps and lower case when you type "lol," it makes you seem like a girl.

LoL.

And also, ESPN has given me a good laugh today. At one point, they had two links about Les Miles up on their sidebar.

One said: "Sources: Miles Accepts Michigan Head Coaching Job"
The other said: "Sources: Miles Accepts Extension at LSU, Staying"
