Reportedly it was in the works after we lost our first game then Miles upset Tennessee and went on the 10 game win streak and we got stuck with him!

He wasn't pissed about him leaving. Everyone knew he was eventually going back to the NFL; it was "plane watch" every year.
Skip hated dealing with him and Sexton. If anyone remembers Saban was an a-hole and probably still is. He wanted a secretary fired for speaking to him in an elevator. We also don't have as many sycophants as Bama. Too many other distractions.
He was always going to succeed there, because everyone there took his shite and said "Thank You Sir may I have another". He did alot for LSU, but don't get it twisted; alot of people hated him. The people who dealt with him did; the money people loved him.

The college coaching landscape was beginning to change with mega-contracts and skip wasn't riding that wave. Skip was a good coach but didn't have the vision to be AD. I also wonder how much hubris was involved. Up until Nick, there was only one coaching god at LSU.
