I can't remember what went down. Is it a fact that we picked Miles over Petrino? Did we interview him? What were the details of the situation? Thanks.

I heard he was a cocky little bastard when they talked to him and we backed away. I'm telling it exactly like I heard it. They also felt like Miles had more experience because of the NFL and coaching in a major conference.

LSU did interview Petrino before offering the job to Miles.
Selection committee wasn't impressed with him during the interview. Could have been his attitude that turned them off him.
He was a very fashionable candidate at that time. Louisville's offense was putting up big numbers under Petrino then.
Another problem was that he'd been sneaky and accepted the invitation to interview with Auburn behind everyone's back. Tuberville had been the one to help him get the HC job at Louisville.
When word leaked on the Auburn side, Petrino straight denied that the meeting ever took place. He lied to everyone back in Louisville.
There's a couple legitimate red flags right there. Glad the selection committee did its job!
