Multi Billionaire Hates LSU Coach Les Miles

Billionaire Boone Pickens is always a hoot. He justs loves Oklahoma St and boy does he spend some money on it. The Dallas Morning News had this piece yesterday. He is a fun excerpt

No love for Miles
An hour into the flight, Pickens begins making his case for why current Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is the right guy for the job by blasting former coach Les Miles, who's now in charge at LSU.
"Mike wants to be here," Pickens says. "He's permanent. During the 2004 season, I offered to pay for new practice fields and asked Les if he wanted artificial turf or grass. He said he would call me and let me know. He never called back. That told me right there, he didn't plan to be around long.
"Then, that Alamo Bowl game against Ohio State proved to me he wanted out. Ohio State beat us like 100-to-nothing. I left at halftime, flew home and watched the fourth quarter from my bed. I was worried LSU might not be interested in him after that.
"But thank God they offered him the job. The folks at Oklahoma State wanted to try to keep him, and I said, 'If you do, one of your top donors will no longer be enthusiastic.' "

It is a pretty interesting article. Of course as the schools number one fan he was at the Georgia/Okla St Game. Rich Alumni that have more money that the State Govt and like to spend it are always fun. But boy they can be troublesome. ME thinks Les Miles knew that staying at a school that even had Richie Rich might have some drawbacks :)
