    Skip is now talking about the search committee. He says he was preparing for a coaching search before Saban resigned...says about 3 weeks prior to xmas day he started getting ready for a search.

    I know...thats why I wondered why he mentioned no buyout but wouldnt comment on the contract in the first question. Slightly odd to comment on the buyout based on his first answer.

    Skip said only one guy was ever offered the job. I guess that's the new guy seating on the stage.

    He (Skip) later stated that there is no $1 mm buyout...he didn't say that there is no buyout.

    Skip is saying they interviewed many candidates but it sounds to me like he was zero'ed in on Miles very quickly. This would also confirm what I heard in Orlando from some TAF donors.

    Considering he got a top 15 Rivals class in 2003, I would imagine a top 10 at LSU will definitely be on the horizon.
