Told last night that they've reached a tentative agreement for 5 years at $32 million. No clue if it's valid or not, but comes from some guys at LSU that keep their ear to the grindstone.
If so, FSU opens and all hell breaks loose. I could see them looking at Richt if he ends up out at UGA.
That has been the word since the game against the Bears. Everyone down here expects miles to be fired Sunday and for fisher to be named new coach by the following Friday.Quote:

Whats Jimbo's buyout at FSU?
Not sure. But if LSU sees this through, they're going to be in deep. $17 million over 8 for Miles and crew (they'll save some by offering to retain O and Wilson) and another $32 over 5. After Jimbo's buyout they're going to be close to $10 million a year for the next 5.Quote:

It's Florida ****ing State and they look very pedestrian.
Not to mention all the off the field issues he's had under him.
I say go for it LSU. Spend all that money. Don't think you're upgrading all that much.
Oh I think they're undervaluing Les Miles. They and UGA are very similar. 10 win seasons just aren't good enough there. When they fall back into the Gerry D years they're going to realize how good they had it. A lot of fans don't trust their AD to handle this hire (sound familiar?).Quote:

you guys think this has any bearing on FSU's play this weekend? I reeaally want that Sugar Bowl bid.
No bike projections have us in the sugar right now, but I suppose that could easily change if 3 games go our way. If we win the egg, I think the other two will take care of themselves. Florida can't score man. It would take a special teams and/or defensive miracle to win either of the games they have coming up.Quote:

Now, Dan to FSU would worry me.
Gonna have to be a nice package. Pretty sweet gig at FSU.
Freeze to FSU....
This could be one of the schools that Dan would leave for.
Dan's discipline wouldn't fit. These guys are getting accused of rape and not missing a snap. Dan sits guys for missing study hall or whatever has been said on here.Quote:

I just have no reason to believe Dan is really interested in leaving at this point.
Just in time to open against Ole Miss next season. Perfect.Quote:
