re: Sexton just going for the raise again

Nah, LSU doesn't make a move like this without a firm assurance that they will get their man

"LSU" might not make a move, but the influential boosters and some BOS folks seem to be maneuvering behind the scenes. I promise you Sexton is talking to them more than he is talking to Joe Alleva. He worked the much more wealthy and much more influential boosters at Texas last season for 3 months. The end result was that Saban got a big raise at a job he was likely never really considering leaving (despite what everyone is saying).

I would like to think LSU wouldn't make a move without a deal with someone else in place. But the reality is that many of the decision makers and/or those calling for Les's head are nothing more than your average irrational rant poster only with the money and influence to make things happen.

We'll see. Recent history is not on LSU's side. The only recent instance I can remember where a highly successful Power conference HC left for another power conference job is when Brett Beilema left Wisc for Arkansas. That hire came almost completely out of nowhere.
