LSU Head Coach Nick Saban hired by Miami Dolphins Speculation on who will be the next Head Coach at LSU Auburn's Tommy Tuberville to LSU? Arkansas's Houston Nutt denies contact from LSU Auburn's Tommy Tuberville insists he's staying at Auburn - will not coach LSU Louisville's Bobby Petrino will interview at LSU for Head Coach position Butch Davis out as candidate at LSU Les Miles interviewed by LSU? - reports of a phone interview yesterday 12/28/2004 - Bobby Petrino has confirmed that he had a preliminary interview with LSU in Nashville on Sunday, but has not been offered the head coach position. 12/28/2004 - After interviewing Bobby Petrino, LSU has received permission to interview Arkansas Razorbacks Head Coach Houston Nutt. --Kevin Donahue 12/29/2004 - Arkansas Head Coach Houston Nutt has removed his name from the LSU coaching search. Nutt acknowledged that he spoke with LSU briefly, but indicated that he is happy to be staying at Arkansas. Nutt makes $1.5 million as the Razorbacks head coach. You would have to think that Petrino is still the number one, despite his love 'em and leave 'em history. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State Head Coach Les Miles has met with an LSU representative, despite Oklahoma State denying LSU permission to interview Miles. Since Miles contract does not require the university's OK for him to interview, LSU is proceeding with Miles consent. Miles has a one year buyout clause in his contract, or approximately $1-1.5 million. The fact that Miles is (apparently) moving forward with LSU despite OSU denying permission signals that he is very interested in hearing what the Tigers have to say. --Kevin Donahue 12/31/2004 - LSU played the race card yesterday, in announcing that they had interviewed Tigers receivers coach Bobby Williams for the team's head coaching position. Previous to sitting with Williams, who is an African-American, LSU would only comment on coaching candidates after they had publicly confirmed their interviews (Petrino & Nutt). LSU also interviewed former Texas A&M head coach RC Slocum, but that's being characterized as more of a courtesy interview than an indication that Slocum is a strong candidate. The Tigers seem to be very anxious to interview Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio, but have not had formal contact with Del Rio or his agent. NFL coaches cannot interview for other jobs until after the NFL season ends this Sunday. -- Kevin Donahue

I've read Skip's comments many times and have put it on this board many times:

It came down to Petrino and Miles. Petrino gave Skip and the board the creeps. No one was comfortable with him. miles on the other hand fit what they wanted and in the end wasn't close

05, 06, and 07 teams would have been amazing with petrino. after that things probably would have gotten cloudy.

we wanted jdr bad. i think we would have hired him if the shite with the jags hadn't of happened.

It was pretty uneventful and underwhelming.

Miles is much different today than he was then. Even though it seems odd to say it, I don't think he is as verbally clumsy as he was when he arrived.
He is definitely a better coach than when he first came. He has grown as a HC IMO.
