LSU Fans Should Ignore All TAF Sources For Next 30 Days In Coaching Changes Saga

Oh it is that time of year of coaching changes!! The biggest LSU board has reactivated it's Coaching Changing board that is always fun!!. It keeps track of a lot of non LSU coaching changes to say the least

LSU of course will be in the mix. Is Les Miles leaving? Will Les Miles get a contract extension? Is Gary Crowton and other staff to be fired? RUMORS RUMORS RUMORS.

One bit of advice. It is safe to ignore anyone that said their source is someONE from the Tiger Athletic Foundation (TAF). Yes the all powerful all knowing TAF. Being part of TAF does not mean you are in the inside the mind of the AD. Even if you "donate" a lot.

In Baton Rouge knowledge of the inside working of the LSU Football program is a sign of influence and power. So constantly people are bantering the latest inside scoop they get.

The problem is 9 times out of 10 they are wrong.

We saw this a couple of years back in the LES MILES is going to Michigan saga. We were told by countless "connected" people that their source in TAF or elsewhere told them all sort of things.

Such as:
Steve Spurrier is coming to LSU - SIGNED SEALED AND DELIVERED (TAF SOURCE)
Tommy Tuberville is coming to LSU -SURE THING (TAF OR LSU AD SOURCE)

Of course NONE of this was happening. As we have now seen on all sort of LSU football related matters about 99 percent of what these posters say as to information they got from TAF / Athletic department sources is wrong on all sort of things.

The latest being: TAF source says informed that NCAA to vacate all wins of Auburn. Winner of Arkansas/LSU game to go to SEC Championship game. This has circulated quite a bit.

Well it is Monday morning and there is no indication at all that Arkansas is game planning to play South Carolina this week.

On that board there is one person that has seems to be a reliable source as to the to the LSU Board of Supervisors. You can take that persons info to the bank usually. Besides that the others not so much.

So while all this is fun just realize about 99 percent of what you hear is false.
