There seems to be too much silence for a lot not to be going on.
that's why i thought something was going on. all the silence and the 'no comments'. quiet as a funeral in wva.

will not coach the mountaineers in the bowl game, which has players unhappy. but i agree with him not doing so. as i've heard before, you cannot serve two masters. press conference tomorrow morning to make a formal announcement.

and as for the extension...i guess that's between miles and lsu. he agreed to it, they asked for it. no doubt everyone has their reasons. les says he wants to stay for a long time, maybe ten years from now he'll want to leave. who knows?

hell, petrino signed for five, and didn't even finish one.
not only that last year when he left louisville he had just signed an extension with them for 10 years and left.

i just hope that all coaches aren't the same lying snakes in the grass as saban. and of course every one of them gets a sideways look now, due to ol nick. i made the mistake of believing him when he said he was set on staying in miami. so i REALLY hope i'm not wrong again. of course petrino doesn't help the whole coaching and ethics thing either.
don't forget nick saban said the same thing at l.s.u. not leaving for the n.f.l. said it twice in two seasons.

it is a shame that so many coaches only view their current job as the stepping stone to their next one.
too few joe paternos around these days.

i wasn't sure what les would do a few weeks ago, but i felt confident after his sec-day press conference. i got a lot of grief here, at work, and my husband did as well, for saying he was staying. turned out well in the end.

it's funny, all these hawg fans that we told 'wait til petrino does you like he has every one else' said 'well, les is leaving, you'll be looking for a coach too'. one, they were wrong, and two, two wrongs wouldn't have made it right.

I ( gag) have to say ...you were correct in saying he will stay.






But I shan't ever forgive you for it.
