From No. 1 to Number ???? That’s Louisiana State football
The SEC is supposed to be the penthouse of college football. The only place to be, live, work, tackle and point your index finger toward the sky. The gold standard of college football.Take another look.
In eight days, Louisiana State has gone from a top-ranked team that expected to win the national title in the Superdome in early January to a school with a coaching staff that can’t wait to get off the field tonight in the SEC title game against Tennessee so its two top coaches can take other jobs.
Why would anybody leave the SEC?
ESPN is reporting that LSU head coach Les Miles is gone. He’ll be named the head coach at Michigan next week.
Yep, leaving the greatness of the SEC for the blah Big Ten.
Ouch.
And Miles might not be the first one out the door. LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini will be named the next head coach at Nebraska next week. Guess Pelini didn’t want to wait around to find out if he would replace Miles.
From Number One to Number ??? Some ride for one of the SEC’s sassiest programs.
