LSU AD Makes Interesting Comments

So Bill Martin has been working on his search since September. If he has been working on it for that long you would think he has a good idea of who he wants to hire. Everyone and their brother believes it to be Les Miles. Does even the LSU AD think that?

See the following comments from a local LSU paper.

Should LSU coach Les Miles get offered and accept the head job at Michigan, there is the possibility he could still be with the Tigers for the BCS national title game on Jan. 7 in New Orleans if LSU were to make it that far.


LSU athletic director Skip Bertman said if such a scenario develops, he would want Miles to coach the Tigers in the national championship game before leaving for Michigan.

"If it were to be a national championship and the advantage for LSU to win, it would be my opinion that I'd want the coach (Miles) there to win the game," he said. "But I think that the decision to be made is too premature to even talk about for something like that."


Does he know something we don't? Those comments seem pretty strange coming from a guy that wants to keep his head coach.

I guess the next few weeks will tell, but it looks like Les could be Bill Martin's choice.
