re: The REAL scoop

This is probably true and is the most accurate sounding thing that I have heard. The other rumors that are being spread here are probably coming from different factions and involve what they want to see happen and are confident that it will happen. That's human nature, and sense we are dealing with a bunch of type A's, they probably think that if it is what they want, then it is going to happen.

I think that both Saban and Spurrier stay at their respective schools. I think that the powers that be at LSU know this and that is why they are trying to keep Les Miles. He is simply better than anyone else out there. If he goes to Michigan, which I think that he will, I think that we could be in trouble, at least in the short run. Del Rio could be an option, but we will have to wait until mid-January. Likely, we might have another candidate that we haven't even thought of.

The longer that this plays out, the more chance that the Saban group gains steam. Time will move more and more people to look at a Saban hire favorably. If we make the right offer and if he is really miserable at Bama, he might accept. Or, he might relish the opportunity to turn us down. Either way, if there is an active Saban group and Spurrier is out of it, that group will gain steam.

I say that we end up with another candidate though. Just some thoughts . . .
