re: Skip dropping all the little LSU secrets on 104.5

I didn't know Nick wanted to come back the year he left Miami, was this common knowledge?

What did old Skip say about this?

As far as the championship game against bama, I have it from a reliable source that we prepared to start zach mettenberger all the way up until a couple days before kick off. Then he was injured in practice leaving us completely unprepared.

Skip flat out said that Nick wanted to come back after his 1st year with Miami and were only in year 1 with Miles. Nothing we could do.

I don't think your going to like what I have to say, however it is the honest truth. Nothing out of the ordinary happened the night before the game. I understand why it seems like that absolutely cannot be the case. We beat 9 ranked teams, we beat the Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl, and National Champions that year. We won every game by at least 10 points with the exception of Alabama and nine of those came against ranked teams. We set school records for largest margin of victory against multiple SEC opponents. Had we won the National Championship we could have arguably been considered the greatest team of all time. How in the WORLD do you go from this to not even crossing the 50 yard line??? I do not know. Yes, Alabama had the best defense I have ever played against (I think almost two deep played in the NFL) but that is still no excuse for not being able to do anything. There must be a reason… and on the surface there appears to be one. Because we suffered this terrible loss, combined with the drama with my Dad and Les Miles in the press conference after the game, and topped off that myself/Russell Shepard/Jarrett Lee didn't play a single down in that game rumors started to swirl that there had been drama in the week/night before the game. None of them are true. Me and Jordan never fought. I didn't stage a revolution to try to get anyone subbed in. I've heard a 100 different stories of what supposedly took place. Honestly, your guess is as good as mine. I went into that game fully expecting to play. I knew I wasn't starting anymore (got pulled the last four games following a personal foul against western kentucky) but in the other games I was still filling in at all the three interior positions as a rotator. The fact that I didn't play is still one of the most shameful points of my career. Everybody wanted to win the game. The coaches stood to gain nothing by losing and if I didn't play that means that they flat out didn't think I could help them win. That bugs the hell out of me because I think I had proven to them that wasn't the case but that apparently I was wrong. I didn't get to touch the field during my final college football game and I will never be able to get an opportunity like that back. It will always bug me but thats just life I guess. Losing the National Championship like we did was like watching a life time of work evaporate before my eyes. To work so hard and be so close to achieving literally every goal you had set and then to fail so spectacularly will annoy me for the rest of my life. But, all in all I take positive memories from LSU as I had some amazing and truly unforgettable experiences both at the school and in Tiger Stadium.

Ps what did skip say about Saban's desire to return after Dolphins fiasco?

I had heard that Nick wasn't too happy during his first year at Alabama because there were many demands on his time outside of coaching football from Bama boosters and such. At LSU, outside of just a few obligations, he was pretty much left alone to run things how he wanted and people stayed out of his way.

I would imagine that once he started winning at Bama, he could just say "no" to those obligations.

Miles liked him some higher class acquaintances on the down low. That's what he means.

IF this is true, why in God's name are you having "live" practices before the NCG where someone can get injured???

Shouldn't you know enough about these players by then to mitigate this risk?
