A month ago, former LSU Athletic Director Skip Bertman revealed that Steve Spurrier had been offered the job as HC after Nick Saban left for Miami (as reported by ESPN on Sept 26, 2016) - quote:

* Bertman liked the idea of hiring Steve Spurrier if Saban left, but Spurrier was impatient and accepted the South Carolina job in November, a month before Bertman hired Miles.

(Source: LINK)

Today on Finebobble, Steve Spurrier said he did interview for the HC job, but didn't make it to the "2nd interview" because he's "not good at interviewing".

I doubt anyone cares, but thought it was interesting

.(and sorry, I hit the dang 'enter' button by accident too early)

Spurrier wanted the LSU job when it was given to Mike Archer. We wouldn't even interview him. A few weeks later Bill Arnsparger left LSU to become Florid's AD. He immediately hired Spurrier as their head coach.

I beleive Skip wanted to interview SS but couldn't till NS made an official decision, had a deal made with USCe before Nick left.

This is not inconsistent with what Bertman said. He said Spurrier had already committed to USCe and did not want to back out on it. Did not say that was first interview or initial conversation or what.

They both were referring to two different time frames. Spurrer referring to the job when Archer was hired and Bertman when Miles was hired !!

Somebody may have mentioned this, but I'm certain Spurrier was talking about the LSU vacancy after Arnsparger left.

I think it's safe to say that LSU s/h hired the head ball coach.
