they are wrong. All of them.

You are asking me to believe that Jimbo was in Florida coaching his last game expecting to become LSU's coach...and Alexander nixed the deal.

You are asking me to believe that despite the very numerous reports that the Jimbo deal had fallen through 24-48 hours earlier.

You are asking me to ignore that the local media started walking back the story the day of the game.

You are asking me to believe that Alexander, whose position is largely political, decided to buck the money boosters, the AD, and a significant portion of the BOS (enough to support the ousting of Miles) because he felt the optics of the situation weren't right.

You are asking me to believe that all of this was done at the last minute when common sense would have dictated that if he was going to object...he could have done so for at least 2 weeks.

Use your common sense. Jimbo was the target. The deal fell through. And, LSU had no other plan. The options were to keep Miles...or fire him and take on that huge buyout with a totally open coaching search.
