Here is a recent local article on this
for the quick version
quote:
Six face-to-face interviews were conducted from Dec. 26-30: then-LSU assistants Bobby Williams and Jimbo Fisher; Nutt, who had just finished his seventh season at Arkansas; former Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum; Miles; and then-Louisville coach Bobby Petrino.

My favorite part of the article
quote:
“Nick was taken back by that,” Weems said.
“ ‘Y’all have names of people?’ ” a stunned Saban asked, according to Weems.

Great article man. This part made me laugh. I totally understand their concern though. Speaking of Les Miles last game at Oklahoma State.
quote:
“They were getting beat. Bad,” Ausberry said. “We were going, ‘Come on, come on. Please come back.’ You worry about what your fan base and people are going to think.” Weems remembers it well. He and Gill looked at each other during the interview and thought the same thing: This could be Gerry DiNardo all over again. During his last game at Vanderbilt and days before LSU hired him in 1994, DiNardo’s team was beaten 65-0 by Tennessee. “It reminded us of that,” Weems said. Oklahoma State lost 33-7. A few days later, on Dec. 30 or 31, Miles was offered the LSU job.

The Advocate story didn't mention that Nutt was also recommended by Saban.
Sure glad LSU didn't go with Nutt or Petrino.
