Did anyone hear the interview?

Pete said that he "bleeds purple and gold but I cannot pull against Coach Saban because Saban has been so good to me and my family."

He said he did not watch the first LSU-Bama game and will not watch this one either. When Paul pressed him on what he would rather be doing he said, "Probably something less stressful like going to a damn movie."

A listener asked who he recruited the hardest during his tenure at LSU ... He said that would probably be Gary James because James was not even considering LSU.

Just curious if anyone heard the beginning of the interview. Paul promised to have him on after the BCSNCG and that he would tell him the score then.

I don't believe a word of this. If you have ever met Pete Jenkins and really talked to him you would never believe this. The very reason he retired when he did was because of the rediculous demands Saban put on his assistants. If this isn't the case, then why did he soon after resurface as the DL coach for the Philadelphia Eagles? Again not sure what his motivation is for saying this, but their is no way that I believe Pete isn't 100% in LSU's corner.

There is no doubt Pete will pull for LSU but he isnt gonna piss off Saban or cause a stir by saying that. Most ex coaches and players will say the same crap. It means nothing. Why should he open up to Finebaum?
