I have a wealthy uncle in Santa Rosa CA who has business ties to the sports world in Northern CA. He says an unnamed LSU rep made a phone call the week after Les was fired to Bob Lamonte, who was (still is?- not clear) Jon Gruden's agent to gauge interest and was told within 12 hours that there was none. This was supposedly during the check w Saban/Urban etc dream candidates just to make sure phase.

I swear, after Gruden passes he'll still get linked to every college opening somehow.

Woah, Tirico got fired?

I thought he left? Was it because he claims to be white?

If this is true, it's an embarrassment for our AD. John hasn't coached at all in quite some time, and has zero HC experience in college.

I can verify this.

Cowher and I talked the LSU job over tea and crumpets in the garden. He mentioned Gruden and himself had been contacted but both are waiting for the Bama job to reopen.
