Damn, just...damn.
This is in the Nov 20 edition of the Baton Rouge Business Report. LINK
Full, direct quote, last Q&A item in the article:
Lombardi sure doesn't leave much to the imagination w/ that answer, eh? He's all but openly promoted Spurrier for the job here with that answer, IMO.
(PS-Certainly Germans, but Spurrier has a $2 million-plus buyout clause in his contract, and he's now 62.)

Q: If rumors about Les Miles replacing Lloyd Carr at Michigan turn out to be fact, what would you think about Steve Spurrier taking his place?
A: (Lombardi) First of all, I don’t think it makes any sense at all to speculate on coaches or anybody else who aren’t leaving and we don’t want to leave.
But what I would say, if there were a coaching position in college football available anywhere I would be delighted to recommend Steve Spurrier for that position. Steve is a first-rate coach. He has demonstrated in many places that he can produce a winning program. Who wouldn’t want a coach like that?

Then instead of the March for Miles lets start a Stash for Spurrier and all chip in and buy him out so he can come here.

if LSU fans would do the Stash for Spurrier and raise $2million,
how big of a wad would the band directors panties be in, since they are trying so hard to raise money for a practice facility?

heresay has this as a done-deal if/when Miles leaves.

SOS was TIGHT with Lombardi at UF. I think Lombardi leaving was a big reason SOS left. SOS didn't hit it off as well with Foley and he use to go directly to Lombardi with any problems. Lombardi had his back, Foley didn't.

Well, let's see, UF for one.
It's a strange unpredictable world. Case in point; SOS and Saban at rival SEC schools.
