“I have no idea”, Miles said of job future at LSU

He says it will be very hard to replace Miles with a better coach. Miles said Wednesday he has not spoken Alleva since last weekend.

Miles was asked about getting a team prepared for a game under clouds of uncertainty about his job future. He was asked what Bo Schembechler, his former mentor and coach at MI, would have told him in a time like this. “I’m fortunate to be the head coach here. This will always be about our players”.

Miles now has the best winning percentage (.774) of any coach in the past 100 years of LSU football, and he’s won a national title and two SEC championships. He is under contract through 2019.

The group that would likely foot the bill to buy out miles – a private, nonprofit athletic find-raising arm called the Tiger Athletic Foundation – has not been in talks with anyone about firing Miles.

“It all depends on who’s saying it”, Flynn said.

To others the sloppy anonymous whispers and failure of Athletic Director Joe Alleva to stand up in the public and take accountability bear the stench of a Saban to Texas sized debacle. Like I said, it’s all a process.

If a wobble from Miles or the prospect that offensive coordinator and Franks recruiter Cam Cameron won’t be back in Baton Rouge is what has finally spurred Franks to reopen his recruitment, that alone provides the Gators with a significant opportunity that didn’t previously exist. Miles was asked directly Wednesday if he felt his future would be decided after the Aggies game or if he would still be coach through a bowl game.

Second off, it’s stupid and it only paints the actual decision-maker here, the only voice that matters, Alleva, into a corner. “He doesn’t want it to create that much of a distraction”. “That’s not what I’m going to do”.

“He put a lot of faith in us that we would perform”, Flynn said. “We realize he’s a great coach”.

“No, that’s never an issue”, Miles said.

In fact, neither Miles nor LSU has been easy to read over the past painful week. True to his form, Miles changed direction and focus of the program to his team and their accomplishments. “This is about preparing to beat an opponent and enjoying the young men that we coach”.

The LSU players are much like children caught in the middle of an pending divorce.

Each of LSU’s past three losses were by double digits.

Let’s start with this: Yes, the Tigers have lost three straight games and now sit at 7-3.

No LSU official has stated such, to this point, with the Tigers scheduled to host SEC West rival Texas A&M at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in the regular season finale. “There isn’t patience or any of that anymore”, Fisher said Monday. I would love to think there’s another 11 years.

Checking in on a situation that seems to get more awkward by the day. If a new staff is in place, he said he would want to get to know them.
