Just passing this along.

Part of the carrot Miles and LSU may have waved in front of Cameron to reel in his services was a suggestion - not a promise, but a suggestion - that Cameron would one day succeed his friend as head coach. Think about it.

Miles turned 60 last month and Cameron will be 53 on Feb. 6. Although Miles looks plenty vigorous enough for four or five more years, he has his detractors, and a high-profile job like LSU is time-intensive and grinding.

Miles likes nothing more than being with his children and watching them compete in sports. His oldest daughter, Smacker, is a high-level college swimmer in her first year at Texas, sons Manny and Ben are playing high school ball locally, and 10-year-old Macy Grace is a budding soccer and softball star. Miles easily has the financial security to hang it up when he is ready and depart on his terms. It would be especially sweet to have named his successor.

The word is the LSU power brokers in the Tiger Athletic Foundation are okay with this if the timing works out. What's more, the coaching staff is likely to undergo some changes in the coming weeks, and Cameron will have his choice of at least some offensive hires.

Why do people assume Saban will coach until he is 75, but Miles will retire when he is 65.

I don't know about that, but I've seen some articles lately speculating on how much long Saban will actually coach.

Wouldn't it make sense to make it public that Cam is in for the long run. Recruits would feel more comfortable that way.

Because Miles is not as driven by football only. He is more "family oriented".


I'm not predicting either way. But, I can certainly see Miles deciding to enjoy his life outside of football much more than Saban
