Actually a number of coaches rumored to be in the mix at LSU have made similar announcements recently including Ford, Grant and Bennet. That could be bad news, meaning the job just isnt that attractive. Or it could mean LSU has their man in place and the other candidates are making it look like they never had any interest.
If a coach gets announced in the next couple of days I will guess its the latter. I do believe there was something to the Ford story being the next coach at LSU. We may never know.
