Rumors...I know, another one....Larry Porter is on the short list for FSUs RB position. This is just for informational purposes cause being on a short list is meaningless...but lord....alot of programs are looking closely at the Tiger program. We must be doing something right :crystal::champs:
Porter followed Miles here from Oklahoma St. He obviously doesn't have the philosophy differences with him as Jimbo & Searles did, so for him to take the same position with a different school makes no sense.
fyi .... Neal McReady (on 105.5 radio) is reported to have stated that Bo Pelini is the lead candidate for the HC position at Minnesota , as of this morning. Can anyone confirm?
He is certainly interested in it. I don't know whether or not he has interviewed for it. I hope we don't lose Bo. That would be a disaster considering the coaching loses we have suffered already, not to mention the player loses. If we lose Bo too LSU's 2007 pre-season stock will plummet.
He has been linked to the Minn job - we have heard that before. Tiger Nation has its collective fingers crossed, hoping that he does not choose to try to fill the huge shoes that Craig T Nelson left behind. Knowing the impact of losing both coordinators, and the relationship with Miles - I am hoping Bo sticks around for at least another year.
I'm fairly certain that is common knowledge, but the Minnesota program has been on a plan of steady improvement the past several years and they've looked good lately (by Big 10 standards :hihi: ) Also, us old-timers recognize and respect the tradition at Minnesota ..... they were once the top power in all of football.:thumb:
If Bo were offered the job, he should take it. He wants to be a head coach. This is a head coaching position at a BCS Div 1 school. He can't turn that down... That being said, I have heard nothing about him being the leading candidate or even him being interviewed yet.
