Just got off the phone with a source that, I assure you, trumps any source any of you have quoted. I have been reluctant to call him because I figured several others have. THIS IS NO JOKE! He did not give me any earth-shattering news, but he did clear up some falsehoods that have been spread on this board.
1) No one at LSU knows if Miles is leaving. (In other words, no "done deal")
2) LSU will make every effort to keep Miles, but most BOS members believe he will accept if UM offers.
3) Saban will NEVER get enough votes to be offered the job. At best, he would get 50%. My source is CERTAIN of this.
4) There have been NO negotiations with other coaches or their agents. Claims to the contrary are just BS.
5) It is true that Lombardi and Spurrier are friends, but there is no broad-based desire for LSU to hire him. In fact, there is a concern with his age, just as there is by many posters here. My source did not say he doesn't have a chance, just that he is not being pushed.
6) Much to my suprise, the source said there are some decision-makers who are "intrigued" with the possibility of hiring Tubby. No joke.
7) No word on Pelini, but he thinks someone will hire him as a HC, even if Nebraska does not.
Again I am NOT JOKING about this, although in the past I have made fun of those who claim to have "sources," most of whom are full of crap.

NEVER say NEVER. If the right people who can sign big checks to TAF, LSU, etc., want Saban as the coach, Saban can get the votes needed. Did you forget that we live in the "Buddy System" state?

This scoop sounds at the very least plausible and would match the type of language I would think would be be used around the situation right now.

This is BS. My sister is in the same sorority with Jack Del Rio's daughter and she told my sister that they already contacted her dad (Jack Del Rio).

If Saban can get 50%, he can get a majority with the right grease on the wheels...(Cash is a great form of grease).

Thanks for posting. I have to reply to my Nigerian Banker friend now...

Seriously. I hope you have a great source and continue to share information. Thanks.

No one in an official capacity has contacted ANYONE. What some boosters do is out of the control of the decision makers. I can assure you that LSU did not contact anyone.

If you don't think LSU is actively conducting a search, you are nuts.

Isn't Tuberville actively negotiating a contract with Arkansas/Auburn right now?

just shut up. it doesnt matter if you called skip or jesus christ himself, unless you are willing to name the source and provide some sort of proof, your 'assurances' will fall on deaf ears. you sound just as absurd as the rest of these nonsense rumors.

OK, if you must know, it WAS Jesus Christ.
