This was an e-mail I received today.
I can't vouch for its credibility but it makes for fine reading.
Then again it may all be true........
Take this for what it's worth, but there's a guy on the Tiger Lair called lsub. He's apparently got some connections in the AD office and has "scooped" things before, so he's pretty highly regarded but he doesn't spout off too much, so he's like EFHutton, when he speaks, people listen. He just posted this on the lair a little while ago and the place exploded:
Okay, for those who stayed on today, A NEW COACHING UPDATE, from 2 of my sources. Do not shoot LSUB.
1- Pellini is taking the Nebraska job. It was done in the last 2 days but has been worked on for a few weeks. They did not know about Arkansas meeting with Pellini.
2- Something happened this weekend at LSU. Miles stepped up efforts for the Michigan job and has people rallying others for support. The feeling is mutual with a few big time donors and Skip. Both parties are wanting to go seperate ways. LSU knows it cannot fire him so they hope he takes the job to Michigan . It is a mutual feeling of hope for seperation. BTW, Bertman didn't know about the Pellini interview and blew a gasket internally. It was ugly.
3- My sources have spoken with agents and as of a few days ago, Spurrier was not interested in the LSU job. Now, that can change and change quickly. Right now, Spurrier is not interested no matter what you read. That comes from the agents.
4- Brace yourself and do not shoot the messenger. There are 3 big time donors at LSU and some BOS who want 1 person back at LSU. I have said it and said it. Here is the deal, 3 million per year for 10 years with a 10 million+ buyout. For a man that doesn't do buyouts, that is huge. They verified the wife wanted her house back and they verified the powers that be feel a shock will be felt but a few wins will replace the shock. I will not type his name because some may throw their computer. BTW, this goes with what was posted earlier about money and contracts and my sources have never heard of the lair.
5- Tommy Tubberville wants the Arkansas job. He secretly put feelers out to return to Ole Miss. I kid you not. He wants out of Auburn bad. There is a secret deal at Auburn between Bobby Lowder and Bobby Petrino and Tubberville will not have to pay the buyout if he leaves. The question is does Arkansas want him. He wants the LSU job but doesn't think he can get it. Jimmy is pushing Saban. Stay tuned for this one.
6- Back to Miles. I saved the best for last. If Michigan does not have a coach by Friday, Les Miles will be named their new HC next week. Ferentz is in the picture but it is to help leverage a better long term deal and facility upgrade at Iowa . There are some people at Michigan who are old friends helping him get more out of Iowa . It appears Miles will be the man at Michigan and skip is aware of Mac and Miles stepping up efforts for the job but again, the feelings are mutual.
Now, take this for what it's worth. My 2 sources do not know each other and both confirmed all 6 issues including Tubberville and Ole Miss. They know what is going on behind close doors. Now, I am a messenger here. Out of the 90k that sits in Death Valley , we make up a small % on this board. The powers that be and make the decisions don't really care about us and will do what they want. The feeling is 90% or higher only care about winning and all will be okay with a MNC. With that said, post away.
Then Scott McKay, who used to have a TigerRag-type magazine, posted this:
Hey lsub - just talked with my guy who knows...
...what the hell is going on, and he said he more or less agreed with everything you posted.
With the exception of the Saban thing.
He says there's no question that Saban has some support among the powers that be. But he doesn't think they can put that deal past anybody who works at LSU - none of them want to deal with Saban coming back here. Not Skip, though he won't have much to say about this, not the astronaut, not Lombardi, and not anybody who works on the sixth floor. There will be something of an internal struggle about it, but the muckety-mucks on Essen are not going to win - and they ultimately will not go to the mat on this when Lombardi and the governor-elect are getting to be pretty good friends.
Look out for one Jack Del Rio.
