But that IN NO WAY means Jimbo was a "done deal".
I never said anything about done deal. Your exact words were 50/50 chance.

Idc what excuses yall make for him, he said it was 100%, and it did not happen. No sane, unbiased person would have believed Jimbo was a done deal though
Trust me, I'm not making any excuses for him. I'm just trying to point out how people state things as fact on here all the time, not realizing how they are wording things or how it sounds.
Like you stating 50/50, then changing that to "done deal". I sincerely think you didn't even realize you did it. Just like LNCH.

This political figure decided that he doesn't need to align himself with everyone with power at LSU.
This makes absolutely no sense.
Alexander has to go to the Legislature and will be in a fist fight for funding for the University. It makes plenty of sense.

It is obvious that something was going on or it wouldn't have been a farewell to Miles party on the field after the game. Miles and his family, and the players acted like it was his last game. Why would they act like that?
Because they read TD and believed the "inside" information that the deal was done. I don't understand how anyone can backtrack on done deal. Obviously there was no contract, verbal or written, with Jimbo, so there was no done deal. Intense negotiations do not equal done deal.

Tiger nation been waiting to hear from you since saturday, don't be shy now.
I am not waiting to hear from anyone who seriously thought LSU was releasing Miles and Jimbo was on his way to BR.
Is there anyone in a leadership position at LSU who didn't understand from the get-go the price it would cost LSU to buy out Miles and pay a coach with Jimbo's recent success to jump ship??
Why in the world would a Gov. elect want one of his 1st moves to be denying LSU the right to hire a football coach using private funds??
Why would anyone seriously believe Jimbo was leaving a successful football school where he was winning 93% of his games, being paid well, playing in the ACC to come to LSU and face the power football programs in the SEC yearly??? What agent in the right mind would support such a move other than to get more money out of Fla. St.
Can anyone name a highly successful coach who has left one football power to go directly coach at another?
Not much of this stuff makes a lick of common sense to me, but we are talking bout LSU.

And again, that makes Miles an even bigger dumbass than most people already believe he is. What person would read the news about their job, and not go directly to their employer and ask what the hell is going on?
You don't think he did that, but instead believed the news? It's obvious that something was going on, or like Chicken said, none of that parading around worship would have been happening.

yet, i'm not the only one saying the same story. but but they're ALL wrong.
they are wrong. All of them.
You are asking me to believe that Jimbo was in Florida coaching his last game expecting to become LSU's coach...and Alexander nixed the deal.
You are asking me to believe that despite the very numerous reports that the Jimbo deal had fallen through 24-48 hours earlier.
You are asking me to ignore that the local media started walking back the story the day of the game.
You are asking me to believe that Alexander, whose position is largely political, decided to buck the money boosters, the AD, and a significant portion of the BOS (enough to support the ousting of Miles) because he felt the optics of the situation weren't right.
You are asking me to believe that all of this was done at the last minute when common sense would have dictated that if he was going to object...he could have done so for at least 2 weeks.
Use your common sense. Jimbo was the target. The deal fell through. And, LSU had no other plan. The options were to keep Miles...or fire him and take on that huge buyout with a totally open coaching search.

How is it accurate if we never contacted Jimbo?

It makes no sense. He would have nixed it weeks ago if that were the case.
You actually think Jimbo was ready to sign on the dotted line and LSU pulled the deal because of Alexander?
You think Alleva just failed to mention this to Alexander while he was putting this deal together?

ETA: note that I'm not saying anything about Jimbo being lined up, nothing. Only about Alexander, his timing, and nixing the deal.

Gruss said Miles was 100% gone 2 weeks ago.
He is very upset the plan wasn't carried out.
And Yes Jimbo was a go.
Alleva was overridden in the end...
Noone saw this coming

Now that I'm unbanned, I like to tell DALSU that he can go frock himself. You "done deal" piece of shite
Posted on 11/30/15 at 11:37 am to Macintosh504
DALSU is a currently active player on the LSU Football team and I am pretty sure that he had a better scoop on things than every one else claiming to. So how about you guys give the dude a break eh?

Why would a player have any info concerning a coaching search?

What are you trying to argue?
No person with a brain that watched all that shite could possibly believe that there was zero substance with the jimbo rumors
It had to have been told to miles that he was on the chopping block
His wife and children were in tears on the field. His players didn't realize he was still the coach until after the game.
When jimbo backed out at the laSt minute, it all fell through.
Only explanation that makes any sense
Posted on 11/30/15 at 11:39 am to LNCHBOX
I have no idea nor do I care to have an answer for that question. Just letting you know the situation
