They inquired but there were no "negotiations" according to LSU. Doesn't matter, Jimbo stays where he belongs for now and Les wins the SEC next year.

Next year will be one of Bama's deepest teams ever. I would be shocked if we didn't repeat in ATL.

Sounds like a repeat of Auburn's entourage secretly flying Lowder's private jet to offer Petrino the job while Tubby was still coaching. Tubby went undefeated the next year, BTW.

Les Miles reportedly fired. Nick Saban is now the so-called "Dean of SEC Coaches."

Saban will only stay at Bama a couple of years. Three tops.

Sorry to hear about Miles. He was a lot like Mark Richt. Fabulous recruiter. Won a ton of games. Usually highly ranked and feared around the SEC. Even won a Natty, unlike Richt. But never could live up to the high expectations he created for himself.

LSU went from a preseason top five to firing their coach in less than a month.

Yes, it does make me chuckle when I remember all the people who assured me Saban was a one and done.

I liked Les. A lot.

who will call Les first -- Southern Cal or Penn State?

Les will raise grand babies and do some spots with ESPN if I had to guess.

SEC network or a place on Gamedag? I hat to see Les dismissed. LSU will need to make an excellent hire to improve. Have they named an interim or are they going straight for Coach Saban?

And as a side note, the scroll on ESPN says ND has fired VanGkrder.

I resemble that remark sir.

I see Orgeron is the interim. He was an up-and-comer once, but didn't do well as HC at Ole Miss. I doubt he's the heir apparent.

I'm thinking Art Briles.

Initial reports are Ed Orgeron as interim coach for remainder of this season.

and then.....????

Briles. Herman. Petrino. Who else?

I just saw that. Fired Miles, Cameron and the Ogre is interim.

No more picking on the LSU coach for nonsensical comments, it's now unintelligible comments.

Herman.

I didn't know Van Gorder was at ND. I'm amazed he wound up at such a prestigious program. Looks like did as well at ND as he did at Auburn. Maybe the Irish will replace him with Ted Roof or Ellis Johnson.

Gamedag...... hat..... makes note to self not to post from phone.

... of course the "hat" did fit....

We just figured you were drinking a lot celebrating the big win.

The idea of Herman at LSU putting all those fabulous receivers to good use is disturbing.

1.. we got lucky... blind squirrel, acorn

2. it is disturbing.
