Last year has to have played a part. I wouldn't sign with a school that tried to fire my dad, and possibly may try again during my four years.

Maybe so, but not for the reason you think. First, I wouldn't really want to be the coach's kid on a team just because there could be friction with teammates if they perceived any nepotism. Second, no coach will be at a school forever--they may leave for another job, retire, get the ax, etc. If you sign on to play for your dad and then he leaves acrimoniously, then it might be weird for the kid to still be there.

I doubt last year's drama plays too heavily into his thinking because Les came out of it more beloved than ever. Ben may just want to go his own way and I'd cheer him on if he does. (I'll cheer him on if he comes to LSU, too, of course)
