@tirk, thanks for the synopsis of the interview. Did Skip speak out about any of this last November? It's pretty interesting that he divulged as much as he did now.
Said last November was all Aleva. Said the board was way curious, but insisted they would not direct a decision. Listen to both hours. Skip is so fuckin awesome, but he did do a lot of dancing around. Think his age is showing just a tic. He was pretty sharp but wondered on a couple of points. Worth the listen any day though. I could listen to him speak all day, really. He has a little of the jimmy stewert twang, which makes him a pretty awesome story teller.
Spurrier after Saban: I think Skip is right, Spurrier didn't like being turned down at LSU in favor of Saban, plus he likes his golf and that area of the country is prime for that. He wasn't going to wait. RC Slocum: I had heard that story as well 2015 Board: Sounds like firing Les last season wasn't something that interested the Board. The unification of the board seem to happen after the Wisconsin game and gained steam at that point. It sounds like Alleva was ready for Jimbo, rumors flew but the board pulled the reigns back on the deal. Miles to Michigan: So apparently Herbstreit had the word about Michigan and blew the story open too early and didn't have it confirmed. I have to commend Miles at turning that down and sticking with LSU. I'm sure family had something to do with it having been here for 7 yrs or so. Jack Del Rio: Interesting comments about making sure he wasn't going to have scandals as HC versus Miles character.
