Miles Alleva & BOS meeting
quote:
LSU athletic director Joe Alleva and other school officials and Board of Supervisors members were meeting with LSU football coach Les Miles in the late hours Monday night to try to keep him as their football coach after Miles met with Michigan officials earlier in the day.
quote:
"LSU officials are talking with Coach Miles," LSU associate athletic director Herb Vincent said Monday night after 10 p.m. "They're trying to keep him."
quote:
"We continue to work with Coach Miles, and we remain committed to keeping him as the head coach of the LSU football program well into the future," Alleva said Monday night.
quote:
LSU sports information director confirmed that Miles had spoken with Michigan officials some time after the Peterson press conference.
quote:
Alleva followed that with a statement.
quote:
"I can certainly understand Coach Miles' desire to accommodate his alma mater by speaking with them during their coaching search," he said. "We remain committed to working toward keeping Les Miles as the head of the LSU football program — a program that wins at a high level, graduates its student athletes and represents the university well in the community under his leadership."
quote:
Meanwhile, junior college transfer quarterback Zach Mettenberger has completed his enrollment procedure at LSU and will stay at the school even if Miles does leave for Michigan, his father Bernie Mettenberger said Monday morning.

Good enough. It's been real Les.

I think that quote is very telling.

So do I. And I agree with LSURussian and his WWL thread stating Miles wants the support of the administration if LSU win ONLY
8 games once or twice a decade. Last night I felt he was gone. After reading the USAToday article Im leaning towards him staying at LSU.

More from USAToday, Mett and his family trying to contact Miles yesterday
quote:
"We sent Coach Miles a text, but we hadn't heard back," Bernie Mettenberger said. "We told him we understand it will be a difficult decision for him to go to Michigan, but if he does we understand it's a business and for him to do what's best for his family. But we sure don't want to see him go. Zach's relationship with Les Miles was a big reason for him deciding to go to LSU, but he signed with LSU, not Les Miles. They have two pro style quarterbacks coming in (Mettenberger and Stephen Rivers from Athens, Ala.), so that looks like the direction they're going.
quote:
"But in my opinion, I don't think Coach Miles will go to Michigan. He'll never be able to recruit the kind of talent there that he has at LSU to win a national championship."

I would say this is the feeling of most recruits. If Miles leaves, we will survive.
