Les will get a pay bump from LSU
And stay. It's not the first time he's been floated for another job and turned it into more money from LSU.
"Over? Did you say, over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!"
My thoughts exactly
But if I'm LSU, this is an easy bluff to call.

Just hung up with George Bass, Miles' agent, on Ark rumor: "There's nothing like that going on."

For another pay raise.

I think TMZ has published an incorrect story once and they made a public apology for it. You just gave Sports by Brooks way more credit than he deserves.
Jeff Long and Miles are
Jeff Long and Miles are buddies from their Michigan connection. There's nothing in that tweet that mentions anything even close to Miles actually considering this. Just that Long called up his buddy, told him he'd get a raise...and Les probably laughed his ass off and hung up the phone.
Les' agent
His agent must drum up offers every 2 years to get him a raise at LSU.
If he didn't want to re-start the program at UM because he preferred the easier route with his loaded program at LSU, he isn't going to Ark.

I suspect delusional Arkansas
I suspect delusional Arkansas thinking, or just Internets rumor-mongering, on this one.
Missing Ann Arbor
that's completely realistic!
that's completely realistic! but if things don't pan out with miles, perhaps they should go after bear bryant. or bill cowher. or maybe a robot that's a combination of don shula, chip kelly, vince lombardi and bill parcells.
...or...
or a robot who looks like No. 6 (see: blonde in my avatar), in which case, Petrino would instantly come coach the team.
Michigan never offered Les
Michigan never offered Les and it was rumored that he would love the opportunity to coach his alma mater.
Hail to the Victors!
He couldn't promise to commit
to UM for life and wanted to "look around" so Brandon pulled his offer.
Brady decided to honor Brandon with his own no visit policy!

Doesn't Les have an escalator
Doesn't Les have an escalator clause in his contract to keep him in the top 3 highest paid coaches anyway?
I think it makes him the
I think it makes him the highest paid in the SEC.
A twist
Well, this adds an interesting angle to my observation last week that Lesticles is a cross between Bo and John L. Smith. Maybe Arky's AD said, "Hey, we want another guy who's stranger than nine kinds of hell, but this time we want one who wins."
Arkansas thinks too highly of themselves
they think they can just pull anyone in with enough money despite the historical mediocrity of the program and the relatively infertile recruiting grounds of Arkansas.
Arkansas really thinks they can pull him away from LSU...
Good luck with that guys...
Hmmm
I would call Arkansas a "sleeping giant," but they're more like a "tall guy who dozes off too much."
Jeff Long at Ark has
history with Bo and Les at UM. Maybe just another courtesy chat for a few hours like Brandon two years ago ....

From an Auburn fansite admittedly, but still succinct and to the point:
"Les Miles may not be very smart but even he is not that stupid."
In any case, LSU's sports information director reported a while ago that Les has been informed of the tweet and has nothing to say. As for myself, I think we would have officially seen it all if this were in fact the case - it wouldn't make much sense for a 59 year-old Les Miles to make such a move now, especially to a program in a state of flux. Nice try, Sports By Brooks.

"LSU's sports information director reported a while ago that Les has been informed of the tweet and has nothing to say."
Well if he is aware of the tweet and didn't respond, it is clearly not happening.
Gotta love the meaningless PR babble. Not to say I think it will happen.
LOL
I love how Arkansas tries to be a big fish in the big pool.
