No doubt.
Also, the flight is *scheduled* to leave out of Lafayette. I doubt Miles spent the night in Lafayette or is driving over to Lafayette. That plane would be on its way to Baton Rouge first to pick up Miles. He ain't got time to drive an hour when the plane can come to him.
The flights to/from Baton Rouge are probably legit though. We can be fairly confident he did go to Nashville to meet w/ Shoop. Everything else is pure guessing.

Prior to arriving at East Carolina, Smith served a one-year stint as a defensive backs coach for Berlin in NFL Europe, where he helped lead the Thunder to a league-high 15 pass thefts, a 9-1 record and a 30-24 World Bowl victory over the Frankfurt Galaxy in June, 2004.

His d's are fun to watch too, aggressive ball hawking d's. Id love to see what he could do with the talent we have down here.

This. I'd rather have a lesser known coach who comes in and makes a name for himself at LSU. Sounds like that's where we're headed.

That's what they call them in Europe.

did you even look at his stats or just his job titles?
ETA:Elko spent five seasons as Bowling Green's defensive coordinator. The Falcon defense led the Mid-American Conference in scoring defense, total defense, rush defense and pass defense in each of the last two seasons. In 2013, four BGSU defensive players were named to the All-MAC first or second team.
Elko's Bowling Green defense excelled at forcing turnovers and stopping opponents on third down. Over his five seasons as defensive coordinator, the Falcons forced 106 turnovers or 1.7 per game. Bowling Green held opponents to just 35.9 percent third down conversions over those five seasons. In both 2012 and 2013, the Falcons ranked in the top 10 in the nation in both total defense and scoring defense.
The 2012 season was a banner year for the BGSU defense, finishing the season ranked sixth in the country in total defense (296.6) and 10th in scoring (16.7). The Falcons held the opposition to under 100 yards rushing in nine contests as the Falcons had six different players earn All-MAC Honors, including three first-team members (Chris Jones, Gabe Martin, BooBoo Gates). Jones would go on to be named a first-team All-American by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA).
The 2012 defense would finish as the fourth-best third down defense in the nation, allowing a first down on just 28.1 percent of the time. Their fourth down defense was just as good, finishing fifth in the country at 26.3 percent. They would end the season ranked 11th in sacks (38), 12th in rushing defense (106.5), 13th in pass defense (190.1) and fifth in first downs allowed (15.1). All of this was accomplished with just two senior starters.
Prior to Bowling Green, Elko was the defensive coordinator at Hofstra from 2006-08. He also served on Clawson's staffs at Fordham in 2002-03 and at Richmond in 2004-05. Elko coached the No. 1 passing defense in the Colonial Athletic Association with Hofstra, holding teams to just 136.8 yards per game through the air.
Hofstra's defense ranked first in the CAA and 11th in the FCS in rushing defense, second in the conference and 15th in the country in total defense, and fourth in the CAA and 37th in the FCS in scoring defense in 2007.

Stats are great.
Why is SEC of NFL experience required? You know other conferences play football right?
Urban Meyer came from fricking Utah and Bowling Green.

The stats may be impressive (didn't look), but his tenures would not comprise "an impressive resume" if that is one of the hints. I'm not saying I would necessarily be against an Elko hire, it just doesn't seem to match with the hints.
Posted on 1/9/15 at 1:07 pm to TheCaterpillar
How much does Elko make at WF? I bet we could get him to take the job while offering him way less than some of these big name guys.... Perhaps even leave enough room in the budget for another coach, say one who is an excellent recruiter, maybe one that lives in LA.... Just saying
