All these recruits obviously want to play their careers with same coaches who recruited them.. Auburn just took a hit. Jim bo just pulled a PSU on the Noles. No guarantees. . So much better to come in with a new regime. Richt is not going anywhere. Who knows where Satan is in 2 years? .
Best place for a blue chip to play..The U. We should clean up this year. He has plenty of time.

Jumbo was offered turned them down so Les was retained. You talk about a stupid administration. I hope Miles sticks it to them next year.

Actually what I heard is jumbo asked to much money an that was one of the reasons the retained les.
 
A local news media outlet said high-level pressure saved Miles's job. Even the governor backed him up. Sounded like they had Jimbo lined up.
 
any LSU boosters wanted Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher to succeed Les Miles. And according to the Baton Rouge Advocate, the school was in talks with Fisher before it decided to keep Miles.
Per the Advocate, reps for Fisher and the school were in talks. The outlet cited four sources. But LSU apparently ended up having sticker shock when it looked at what a contract for Fisher could cost along with a $17 million buyout for Miles and his assistants.

Fisher makes $5 million per year and has a buyout of $5 million. He likely would have been given a multiyear contract paying him more than $5 million per season. A new coaching staff likely would have cost the school another $5 million.
The final price tag to part ways with Miles and hire Fisher was more than $30 million. The figure “shocked” Alexander and other officials. Some fought for the coach because of their relationship with him.

The report also confirms LSU president F. King Alexander's remarks that the school's final decision to keep Miles came at a meeting during the Texas A&M game after the school made the initial decision to not fire the coach earlier in the week.

Alexander had said the school didn't want to spend so much money to change football coaches when there were budget issues at LSU and throughout Louisiana's government. Much of Miles' buyout would have been financed by donors, however there still would have been a significant public disconnect.

It doesn't matter if Jimbo Fisher was flirting with LSU if noone was really reporting on it. Regardless of if he did it or not, it won't affect recruits, because they don't know. When Golden was mia for awhile interviewing at PSU, pretty sure there was an article on ESPN asking whether he'd stay or not.
 
I'm finally glad to see that we have reached the ceiling for the prices of these Div. 1 coaches. If LSU had "Sticker Shock" that leaves less than a half a dozen or so schools that wouldn't.
