The violations are not that severe from what I understand and probably don't warrant more than a self-imposed postseason ban for one season and some scholarship reductions.

NC State interviewing Sonny s.
The Auburn list right now is rumored to contain the names of Patterson(TCU), Petersen(BSU), Strong(UL), Petrino(Motorcycle), Kirby Smart(UA DC), and Malzahn(Ark St.)
Petrino(Motorcycle)
Out of that list this would be my preference if I was an Auburn fan.
1.Petrino
2.Strong
3.Petersen
4.Smart
5.Patterson
6.Malzahn
Arkansas and Wal-Mart have offered Les Miles 5 years, $27.5M!!! do it Miles please if there is a God!!!
You're insane to want to get rid of Miles
No way he'd take that to go to Arky, anyway. Massive downgrade
for $5.5M a year over the current $3.8M is pretty damn significant. this could very well be a move by Miles to get another undeserving pay raise, but hopefully he takes it.
oh and no I'm not insane for wanting to get rid of Miles. what most fans outside of LSU see with him are all of the hilarious interviews and crazy play calling (when it occasionally works and is shown on ESPN every hour) ... but when it comes down to decision making and overall coaching he is not a good coach plain and simple. most fans outside of LSU don't see the ridiculous and predictable offensive play calling, overriding his offensive coordinators (past and present) anytime they attempt to try something different than running the ball up the middle 80% of the game, and him freezing/shutting down the offense when gaining any type of a lead in the second halves of games. Miles became the luckiest coach in the country when he inherited LSU's program after Nick Saban single handily made them a top 5 program at the time. I like to call Miles a trust fund baby/lottery winner. with all of the talent that Saban recruited and the reputation he built for the program to attract future recruits years down the road to come here .... a donkey could be the head coach at LSU and win 10 games every year.
Miles has shown his true colors in the last couple of seasons, but unfortunately LSU has dug themselves into a Texas/Mack Brown-like situation to where they are stuck with him because of one National Championship. A National Championship by the way that was of course legit because other teams had the same record, but in a season where luck was the reason LSU ended up in the le game with 2 losses. look at where he came from with Oklahoma State (a much weaker program than LSU) for a wonderful example of how overrated he is as a head coach. Oklahoma State was a crappy/borderline average team and program for the most part with Miles, but have improved tremendously since he left and nearly got into the National Championship game last year. something Miles never came close to until he became a trust fund baby.

Wanting to get rid of Miles in and of itself is not insane, but LSU better have another blue-chip replacement lined up. Perennial 10-win seasons are nobody's birthright, and the margin for error is razor-thin with Saban planted in Tuscaloosa until he retires and A&M becoming a powerhouse out of nowhere.
I think Gary Patterson would be a perfect fit in Baton Rouge were it to come to that.
The way Miles handled the Jefferson/Lee situation alone would make me OK with losing him if I were LSU. That was totally unprofessional and done simply to spite the LSU fans who have been critical of him even though it ed Lee over when he did nothing to deserve it.
Miles isn't a terrible coach but there are plenty of coaches who can routinely win 10+ games at LSU the way Miles has. They have virtually no in-state recruiting compe ion and their in-state recruits alone provide a top class every year.
Can't wait until Pastor Dan Mullen loses a couple egg bowls in a row and fans of the least likeable farm school in the sec start calling for his head.
It's probably not WalMart making the Arky offer to Miles so rich, it's probably none other than Jerry "I've destroyed one football team, let me do my worst in the college ranks too" Jones.

No need to worth Hornet45, you get 7 more years.
Miles gets big raise and longer contract. Congrats LSU for locking yourself into a Texas/Mack Brown and Oklahoma/Bob Stoops situation. Overrated and overpaid. Get ready for more BS offensive play calling, shutting down the offense in the second half when gaining a lead, and limiting the ability of the team.
Miles has been the only guy to stand up to Saban in the Western division and pump out 10 win seasons...The above take is spot on. Imo, all he needs is a legit OC and LSU is right back there alongside Bama as the class of the SEC
Btw, Br, some of what you say makes sense, but you also can't argue with the success LSU has had. If you think 10+ win seasons are easy and that anyone can do it, especially in the SEC, you're just flat out wrong.
Sumlin has supposedly been added to the list
ing rumors...
You'll love this, Auburn fans on another board were posting about the flight plan of a plane that left Auburn/Opelika airport last night. It was supposedly heading to Dallas and then Boise
lol infiltrating the airport to find out where planes are going and thinking it may have something to do with the coaching search...Only in the great state of Alabama
We had the same thing going on after we fired Sherman and during conference reallignment. People were trying to track planes from Birmingham saying it was Mike Slive and everything
Cuppycup on Texags came up with this gif:
That's awesome
There is somewhat of a reason for Auburn people sky-watching. Anybody remember "jetgate"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_L...etgate_Scandal
@Flint_HolyTurf: Chris Petersen wants to bring Harsin as OC from Texas, Wilcox as DC from Wash, + Marcel Yates from A&M as assistant. Not sure if he can, but will try
What the is that twitter in regards to?
Cal?
