It was just as big a plug for himself too. He said he understood why the UT fans were pissed at Kiff for leaving, cause he was a good coach. He then threw something like that was why he was burned at the stake his first trip back to Tiger Stadium. In other words, cause he was a good coach too.
I think that was to air the LSU-Bama game in 2012, as part of the agreement that gave CBS the right to air Florida-Bama and LSU-Bama at night in 2011.
I wonder if Les and Kathy will get together for dinner with Nick and Terri while they're in town. When Pawl Finebum asked Les what his relationship with Nick Saban was Les said "We see each other once a year." I don't know why but it appears there is no love lost between them.
Nick was hired right before Les' national championship and immediately tried to flip some LSU recruits by telling them that Les only won it with Nick's players. They immediately told Les, of course. Les has never given a rat's ass about Nick since. Nick has said that everything is fine "from my side". And it probably is, Nick rubs almost everybody the wrong way.
