They quote this article from the Dallas News saying he hasn't talked to LSU

LINK

This is all is says about it.

quote:

TCU co-offensive coordinator Justin Fuente said he has not talked with LSU about the Tigers' offensive coordinator opening, despite rumors that the 32-year old assistant was a top candidate. Fuente, who interviewed recently for the same position at Clemson, has helped lead the Horned Frogs offense to all-time benchmarks in yards and scoring since becoming a co-coordinator with Jarrett Anderson before the 2009 season. Before that, Fuente had been the Frogs' running backs coach since 2007.

Yeah... there's so much BS talk that goes around during the coaching interviews though. No way to know who interviews and who doesn't

All coaches lie and you got to wait and see what happens. They will tell you tonight they know nothing and the next day they are taking the job.

Sounds like he didn't get the gig, imo, therefore he "never met with LSU." That seems to be the way this works now.

We all know how this game is played.

Associates speak to associates until a rough framework is worked out. THEN, the one-on-one happens. That way, a guy with a current job can look into other employment and if it does NOT work out, he can tell his own fanbase that "I never spoke with LSU" and be telling the truth (though, a fractured version of truth)

Probably was insulted by us offering the qb coach position but not the OC position

If Michigan offers Les Miles the job, he will accept.
