Spurrier to L.S.U. !!!!!

[lawtchan]

Rumor mill going, but this one might have some truth.

Had a couple of sources talking about L.S.U. offering Steve Spurrier the L.S.U. coaching position on Monday,

Spurrier has 60 day clause in contract with South Carolina and a $250,000 buyout, which L.S.U. will pay.

He's only making 1.2 a year, so L.S.U. can offer more.


FWIW, good move if L.S.U. can pick Spurrier up.
with recruiting class, and may have a chance to pick up some undecideds with big name coach.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Spurrier nips LSU rumors in the bud not going anywhere

By Pat Dooley
Sun sports writer
The Gainesille Sun

Rumors that the former Florida and current South Carolina coach was being wooed by LSU were quashed by the old ball coach Friday afternoon.

"Naw, I've got the ultimate challenge (at South Carolina)," Spurrier told The Sun. "LSU, they've already done it, won a national championship and SECs and divisions. I'm not going anywhere. This is my last gig."

Spurrier said he was aware that rumors were circulating that there was a mutual interest as LSU tries to replace Nick Saban, who will be the next Miami Dolphins coach.

"(LSU) is as plum a job as there is anywhere," Spurrier said. "But I haven't talked to anybody. I'm just trying to get some players to come to South Carolina."

Spurrier wants the TN job
He lived just minutes from the campus....

Offer Spurrier 3 million to come to LSU-they have way better athletes that Sout Carolina will ever dream of having.

LSU is kidding aren't they...SPURRIER is part woman !

He would be inheriting a great LSU TEAM that just got nipped by a great Hawkeye team.. That was not a disgrace for LSU--The Hawkeyes were 31-7 over the last 3 years and won their bowl last year over Florida...

LSU is really really good..and those quarterbacks will have more experience..

They ought just leave that shemale spurrier alone. LSU can and deserves better.

LSU chooses Miles for head coach

ORLANDO, Fla. -- LSU has settled on Oklahoma State coach Les Miles as the top choice for its head coaching vacancy and is preparing to offer him a contract, two sources said.

One source said that LSU would wait until Monday to make an announcement regarding Miles, 51, after he has an opportunity to meet with new LSU chancellor Sean O'Keefe. Another source said something could be finalized with Miles by Wednesday.
LSU officials had no comment on the coaching search Saturday, even as Louisville coach Bobby Petrino withdrew his name from consideration. The sources indicated that LSU had decided on Miles before Petrino withdrew his name.

LSU officials had also planned to meet with Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio on Friday in Florida, but the meeting never took place. After that, the school was ready to settle on Miles. Neither Miles nor Oklahoma State officials could be reached for comment at the time of this report.

Miles was one of the first coaches contacted by LSU after Nick Saban announced last Saturday that he was leaving the Tigers to coach the Miami Dolphins. According to sources, Miles remained high on the school's list throughout the week, while they explored other possibilities, including interviews with Petrino, Arkansas coach Houston Nutt, former Texas A&M
coach R.C. Slocum and current LSU receivers coach Bobby Williams.

Miles met with LSU officials early in the week in San Antonio, where he was coaching his team in the Alamo Bowl. Miles characterized the meeting as preliminary and informal, but sources said it was an interview for the job.

In four years at Oklahoma State, Miles has compiled a 28-21 record. He has twice beaten rival Oklahoma and was named Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2002.

The Cowboys (7-5) started this season fast before losing five of their last seven games, including a 33-7 loss to Ohio State in the Alamo Bowl on Wednesday night.

Miles had previously worked as a tight ends coach with the Dallas Cowboys, as offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State and as an offensive line coach at his alma mater, Michigan.

Miles recently agreed to a new contract with the Cowboys that extends through 2011 and pays him more than $1.5 million per year. LSU athletic director Skip Bertman said the school would pay its next coach the appropriate "market
value," depending on the coach.

[ageecee]

fawk u might be right-the message board is also reporting the same thing at Tigerbait

 

[ageecee]

I think Bertman should of opened up the job to every Tom Dick and Harry. There are a lot of good candidates that didnt even get to interview for the job.

 

[lawtchan]

Yep, looks like it's a done deal,

Miles will be L.S.U.'s head coach,

don't know alot about him, but would much rather spurrier.
