And maybe we can hire Bobby Cox next year if Manieri doesn't get us to the CWS. Perhaps Jeff Van Gundy could come take over for Brady. Unless Phil Jackson is already tired of Buss's daughter.

you are missing something -- those are not good comparisons in this case -- everyone is speculating about DelRio and Petrino but miss the fact that Fox has not won a home game in a year -- Fox could just be the best available prospect if Miles leaves -- at age 52, going to the #1 college program in the US would look a lot more attractive than going to another NFL team where you have to deal with another owner and another salary cap --

in any event, if Miles leaves, LSU will need to think outside the box and try to get a coach that isn't looking for greener pastures --

More reasons for John Fox:

1. He is undefeated in Tiger Stadium

2. He would have a package deal for QB coach with Jake Delhomme (where better for Delhomme to be mentored to take over at ULL)

3. He does not have nostalgic connections to another college team

Terry Saban still has a lot of friends here and football wives tend to stick together. Mrs. DelRio is from New Orleans and has a daughter at LSU -- Baton Rogue real estate is a good investment right now so it would make sense for them to own property here -- pre 2005 they would have been looking in New Orleans --
