no sources just common sense.
We got shot down by patterson. patterosn and miles have the same agent. agent goes to long and says look bro.. I know this is out of left field, but if you are honestly willing to pay this money to a coach.. les miles is not as happy as you would think down there and if you can give him a raise and some security, he'd listen. can't promise you anything above that but he'd listen.
if that is true, i think les really is in play though i really don't want him. i also think patterson is a no go under any circumstnaces.

One day in fayetteville and he's already turned tail on LSU, Baton rouge must be a real shite hole.

I'm going to have to disagree. I think common sense says that Les Miles was never seriously considered. It is just a smokescreen to take the attention off the real guy. Jeff Long didn't get to where he is today by being a retard. Only a retard would hire a retard. Never go full retard. Stay thirsty my friend.

That or it gives Long a chance to talk to Patterson's agent directly with the media thinking it is about Miles instead of Patterson.
Meanwhile Miles gets an increase in pay, which effects LSU's budget, makes his agent happy, and helps in negotiations with Patterson...

I like where you're going with this, but I was thinking that it was the other way around:
I thought that Miles was the front. The offer was made to Miles so that he can use it as leverage to get more $ for him and his staff from LSU. Win for the agent..Win for Miles. And then we have an approval in place of a $ amount (approved by the board already so that part is already taken care of) that we can offer Patterson so he now has something to chew on to entice him. $5.50 per is pretty enticing.
It is also out there that this has been offered, so any coach who has a brain has just focused all of their attention on AR and their interest may have just peaked quite a bit more.
Either way...it was a brilliant move by Long. I have to give him props for that.
