re: Who knows the details of Spurrier almost becoming LSU coach

As an old timer, I recall LSU board of supervisors ran the hiring process, made choices, and was a very drawn out affair and Spurrier was not offered for whatever reason. They chose who to interview out of about 50 applicants and every school knew if their coach applied. Then when Hallman was hired, most coaches were afraid to apply due to last process. A lot of folks thought Hallman was a great coach, but truth was his success was due to his QB, Brett Favre.
