The best part of the interview was when Nick said that he wanted to come back to LSU afrer leaving Miami.

Edit: yall can downvote me all you want but listen to the damn podcast. He said it.

Fact. He did. He called Richard Gill while he was at Miami. He asked Richard to help him get back to LSU as head coach. For those who do not know, Richard was an influential businessman who gave a great deal to LSU. He was so powerful he was allowed on the field with the team for every game. He told me about this call personally one night at dinner at Bonefish Grill while we were having drinks. Sadly Richard died after contracting a mysterious illness on a trip to China.

Skip talked openly about him turning down Saban on Hanny & Otts show one day probably like two years ago. I was shocked how openly he talked about it. Said something to the effect that with hindsight he would have kicked Les to the curb

I understand at the time why he didn't, Saban left LSU high and dry after he said he had no intention. But too bad that gamble of not hiring him back backfired immensely. What coulda been will always be the story for LSU
