Les Miles will return as LSU's head coach next season.

Miles addressed the situation earlier today in Dallas at the AFCA coaches conference.

LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said about Miles, "We look forward to many years of LSU Football under his leadership."

ESPN's Joe Schad was once again the center of the college football reporting world. And once again his reporting left a lot to be desired by college football fans.

Schad reported earlier this week that LSU could possibly waive or lower Miles $1.25 million dollar buyout. He then would later say a source close to the situation said if the Michigan job was offered to Miles, he would take it.

WAFB reported Miles met with Michigan AD Dave Brandon Monday night. After "The Mad Hatter" said he was staying in Baton Rouge, Schad said Miles wouldn't comment if the Michigan job was ever offered to him. Schad tweeted soon after something I have yet to understand...

An LSU source claims Miles was offered Michigan; another person briefed on search said he was a "candidate not the candidate."

What in the name of Jacob Hester is he talking about here?

Crowton Says He Wants to Stay at LSU

LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton expects to finish the last year of his contract at LSU next season.

Recently there have been rumors that Crowton would take the job as head coach of UL-Lafayette. Those rumors have been denied by sources at UL.

Many fans in Baton Rouge want Crowton to be fired after the season. Athletic director Joe Alleva has said decisions made in the offseason about LSU's coaching staff will be made by head coach Les Miles.

Fans have been critical of Crowton's inability to open up the offense and the lack of production from highly touted game breaker Russell Shepard. The offensive coordinator has produced better results with quarterback Jordan Jefferson.
