The future of LSU’s recruiting class could depend on how things play out with Miles.

“I just think whoever decides and makes the decisions, just be careful what you’re asking for”, said Flynn, who won a national championship with Miles following the 2007 season and now serves as a backup quarterback for the New Orleans Saints. “That’s not what I’m going to do”.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe Jimbo would be a superior replacement, but anybody who thinks he’s ready to leave Tallahassee is just being silly and nonsensical.
One caller told Fisher he hopes the sixth-year head coach will stay at FSU until he’s about 85 years old. Like I said, it’s all a process. They work hard. I’m fortunate to coach with a group of men that coach their players hard. “I don’t know if it’ll be here at TJ Ribs or if it’ll be wherever the bowl game is, but it has been a thrill for me to be here and watch what you’ve done for LSU, and I look forward to at least one more”. That’s really all I’m doing.
If Miles is fired this calendar year, his contract states he will receive a $15 million buyout, but it stipulates that the buyout does not include the salary he has already received for the year in which the termination happens. The Tigers began the year 7-0 and reached No. 2 in the national rankings, but have lost three straight – including a fifth consecutive loss to Alabama – to fall out of the SEC championship and playoff races. Fisher remained a part of the LSU staff after Saban left for the NFL’s Miami Dolphins and Miles was hired as the head coach.

“I’m the kind of guy that’s easy to read”. I wasn’t sure how it would all time out, or if the A&M game would matter at all, but I was certainly surprised when I started getting text messages from buddies about an ESPN report that Les would be resigning at his Monday Lunch with Les press conference. That is preparation without distraction. “That’s how I’ve always done it. There’s a bunch of perimeter, but I am not involved in it”. With Les Miles seemingly on the hot seat in Baton Rouge, Franks looks like the first thread to come out of an unraveling Tigers’ recruiting class. Feleipe Franks Crystal Ball – 247 Sports.
