Got a wierd phone call earlier this evening

Once again take this for what it's worth; many have tried to dispute me but all have failed - you obvious dont get links to info like this.

I have stated before that my uncle is a booster and gets calls from some of the top folks at LSU and let's just say that it has been one of the most interesting weeks in the history of LSU athletics among the big shots.

Someone posted earlier that the Shaw folks (Jim Bernard and Co., who do have a lot of power) have been pushing for Saban. I was told that this was true. I also reported earlier today that Skip called my uncle last week (for insight only, my uncle makes no decisions but his opinion seems to be highly respected up there) and asked what he thought about bringing Saban back - my uncle said F no. Skip said that that was the consensus of the majority of boosters he had called. I also found out that there are basically 2 factions at work - The Shaw people and another group (doesnt have a nickname). The "other group" wants someone like Spurrier, Del Rio, Rodriguez, etc. The Shaws want Saban and Saban has definitely made it known through a 3rd party that he wants the job.

Apparently most of the big shots in the admin dont want to deal w/ Saban either. My uncle said that he thinks it could come down to a compromise candidate like Del Rio. Just his opinion - not inside info.

Spurrier is still the #1 choice as of right now (by most of the boosters) but no deal has been cut with him yet. Del Rio has made it known that he would likely take the job if offered which has put him up a few notches from where he was 2 days ago.
Flame on!
