Les would be out of his mind to leave LSU...
SOOOO many LSU fans are disenchanted with him. I don't get their problem with him. Sure, he pulls some boneheaded moves on game day, but he's won one Natl title and played for another, and wins 11+ pretty much every year. I ask these LSU fans "what do you want? Do you want to go back the to Mike Archer/Gerry DiNardo days?" They go of on a rant and tell me yes!?!?!
10 years is a long, long time for any coach to be in one place. You wear out your welcome these days. There will be no more Joe Paternos or Bobby Bowdens that spend 30 years in one place. It will be more like Urban Meyer. Built it, win, leave before the expectations become unmanageable as they are at Alabama these days. Even Saban is sick of it.
Les Miles can do the Urban Meyer thing, go to a less competitive conference, win 10+ games every year, and as long as he beats Ohio State more than they beat him, life is good without so many loonies. LSU has some doozies.
I still believe Mullin will be at UF next year. It is far too difficult to keep MSU or Ole Miss up at the top. The whole state of MS has less than 3 million people, so Mullin has to fight not only Ole Miss for in state kids, but LSU, Bama, Auburn, Arkansas, FSU are all in their hot and heavy.
My best friend played DT for MSU. I told him that Mullin is gone to UF. He's connected in the alumni money and contends they will up his contract, but can't compete with UF in money, facilities, alumni support. The clincher for all of you is where would you rather live, Starksville or Gainesville? I've been to both, and forget Starksville. Or how about Starksville for $4 million a year or Gainesville for $6 million?
