Why else would anyone leave a job for anohter? 90% of the time it is money!!!!!

Yes, and according to sportstalk radio here in the metro area, 90% of LSU fans are livid. They want Miles out!

I can see 90 percent believing that Miles is probably not worth the raise, but any LSU fan who wants Miles out is delusional. He's done his job. He hasn't done it quite as well as Saban or Meyer did, but few coaches have. LSU can take its chances with a coach from a small school, but that could easily backfire. Miles is getting good recruits. What he's missing are a full complement of good assistants, most of whom were raided over the past few years. Now Chavis is a solid assistant. Not perfect, but solid. I hope we can keep him for at least another year or two. But we need to reconsider offense, I think. Not sold on Studrawa and Kragthorpe.

Only a smokescreen. Lots of schools have money, so what? I was reading Kansas boards when Kevin Sumlin rumors flew and how they'd 3x his salary...he didn't leave Houston for that job, needless to say.

P.S. The reason nobody takes Ole Miss seriously is because they have upper crust SEC aspirations with 40% of the budget. Cutty was probably glad to get the hook there.

I don't think money is the driver in as many coaching job changes as some think. These guys have massive egos - and their ego is most fulfilled when they achieve fame and glory. That comes from a winning program and potentially championships.

Miles might use the AR offer to get more money from LSU, but he couldn't achieve his football goals at AR. He is savvy enough to "listen to the offer" becaue it would be uncool not to.

I am hearing that it might be a smoke screen of sorts, considering Northern Illinois still has a big game upcoming with Kent State.

There are also rumors that Mark Mangino has been contacted by Purdue about the job. Yikes.......

LSU fans want Harbaugh and with ever SF win, that possibility becomes slimmer and slimmer. LSU fans are absolutely crazy and because they are this way, I love it when LSU loses or doesn't win by "enough."

I think Bob Diaco is going to be the next head football coach at Boston College.

Your right this would be a good fit for Bob Diaco.
If they do fire spaziani, and hire Diaco, lets hope he keeps Doug I forget last name offensive coordinator around. Man his offense sure has put up some numbers considering the weak arm of Chase Rettig, running back by committee, and no barn burner receivers, and starting TE out with injury.

If only they had either a better Defensive scheme or better defensive players, Boston College should have beaten both Miami, and Clemson. They just gave up so many big plays in those games. Both the scheming and defensive recruiting should improve under Bob Diaco.
