Any chance Les would talk to Richt...

....about the OC job?
Not predicting it will happen. Just wondering if any rumors to that effect have been started?...

Thanks for letting a Nole visit for a few days.

Y'all were very cordial and welcoming to this guest.
Just a couple of rambling thoughts in no particular order:
Obviously, I'm happy Jimbo isn't going to LSU. Just as obviously, your fan base seems to be very divided about Miles. The greeting he got at Death Valley was an indication of just ...
re: Joe - Les is our football coach

I was watching the espn feed. Got cut off very early. From what I could see the expression on the AD's face and the tone of his voice was more like that of a man announcing the death of a family member.
He sure didn't seem happy about it.
But, like I say, I didn't see it all. Could have tot...
Saaturday morning greetings from a Nole.

Below is a message posted on a Nole board. It is a private board, so I will delete names. The poster is a very good friend of mine and I do not doubt anything he says in his post. But, remember, he is posting a message he got. He is not saying the message will turn out to be true. After his mes...

A note about James Coley.
He was with Jimbo for a few years at FSU. Did a good job. Was a young coach looking to move up the coaching ladder. So, he took the Miami job. No problem.
His strength was recruiting, specifically in South Florida. That is huge for FSU. Gotta compete against Mia...
Another LSU/FSU connection.

Back in the 1980s, FSU played at LSU five years in a row. (Bowden's early years when FSU had to schedule away games to make money.)
Bobby tells the story in one of his books - many years later.
He was called by LSU early in the season. He was told that they were making a coaching change at t...

[quote]It really sounds like you have a strong affinity for LSU. Stop denying yourself the opportunity to join the Tiger faithful, follow Jimbo on over. Given you're age, you haven't much time[/quote]
Hehe. That's what I tell people when they find out it's my birthday. "You better wish me a hap...
My first memories of LSU football.
Posted by bret on 11/27/15 at 2:45 pm
Thanks to all of you for your discussions concerning the coaching situation.
Just thought I'd throw a little something that might be more light hearted. All this post will really prove is that I am old.
I have two "first time memories" of LSU.
1. Billy Cannon. I was a kid when he played ...

[quote]Welcome. Can you shed some light on the supposed beef between jimbo and your AD?[/quote]
There might be. But, all indications are Jimbo has a good working relationship between himself, the AD and the president.
But, who knows what goes on when the lights and the mikes are off?

[quote]3. Those who know what is going on aren't talking. Those who are talking are just guessing.
Soooooooo, does that include you?

Yes, it does. I am doing nothing more that speculating and guessing. I've tried to make it very clear that I am just a fan with absolutely no connec...
re: Jimbo: Slight of Hand? or Real Deal?
Posted by bret on 11/27/15 at 1:22 pm
Hmmm. Your post rattled my memory cage. The coaching carousel has changed a lot in the past 25 years. I recall the very public spectacle Jeremy Foley made when he was looking for a replacement for Spurrier. Flew to Norman. Bob Stoops turned him down. Flew to Denver. Mike Shanahan turned him d...

IF Jimbo leaves, who do you want as the next head coach of Florida State?
Me? Obviously my pick isn't real popular with many who post here. I would make my first call to Hugh Freeze. If he can recruit and win at Ole Miss, he certainly should be able to recruit and win at FSU.
And, Les Miles...

Like I said, I know nothing. Just guessing. I am not at all aware of the "LSU perspective."
For all I know they could be looking at Rich Rod (he first came into the spotlight by being Tommy Bowden's OC with an undefeated Tulane team, didn't he?). He could have some LSU connections.
It could...

That's the general consensus. But, I know nothing more than what I read on the net.

My speculation on LSU's next coach.
Posted by bret on 11/27/15 at 12:39 pm
Note: I am not an insider. I have no connections. I have followed the coaching carousel as a hobby for better than 20 years. What I am about to say is based on nothing more than experience, gut feeling, and guessing.
1. I think Miles is gone. I think LSU has his replacement in hand. You do...
Thoughts on Fisher from a Nole fan.

Let me introduce myself. I am a Nole. I come in peace. I am a guest here. I appreciate being allowed to post here. I do not take that for granted.
A couple of things y'all may or may not know about Jimbo. His decision to leave FSU for LSU, or stay at FSU, will be based on far more than just...
