Miles stepping down rumors are FALSE.

****EDIT****

The only reason I'm leaving this thread up is because it's already out there.

Some asshat student reporter drummed this up and it spread like wildfire.

There is nothing going on and Miles isn't leaving. End of story.

 

Who the hell is Pat White?

 

Pat White just tweeted this:

Pat White @PatWhiteSports 11m
I have a reliable (prepare for
buzzword) *source* that tells me Les
Miles will NOT step down Monday and
that this entire rumor is BS. #LSU

 

OK Arky fans, fess up, which one of you started this?

 

so after pat white tweets that miles will step down he turns around and says now it aint so. Seems like somebody needs to check they facts befoe the speak.

 

To be fair to Pat White, his original tweet on it was just:

Pat White @PatWhiteSports 2h
There's a rumor (with no evidence)
going around that Les Miles had an
affair with a student at #LSU and will
step down Monday.

So it was dumb of thay guy whose article you linked in the OP to even write an article based off that

 

According to SB Nation, the person who started the twitter rumor was Sam McGaw, a senior at WKU that is studying Broadcast News and works with some WKU media outlets

And according to him, he got the rumor from an Alabama discussion board...

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 4m
My tweet is still up. It all started at
BamaOnline.com on the round table
message board.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 4m
I'm not reporting it to
be true. I only said it was a rumor.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 23m
I blame twitter. The 140
character limit wouldn't let me do that.
I figured people knew what rumor and
allegedly meant.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 38m
It never should've gotten this far. Just
a rumor. That's all.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 39m
Never said it was true or
false.Just a rumor.That's all. Report
wasn't the best word to use. All I did
was tweet it.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 40m
I tweeted about a
rumor. I never said it was true or false.
Nothing more.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 49m
Anyone can tweet anything. I've said
from the get-go this Les Miles story
was a rumor.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 50m
Rumors are rumors. That's it.
Everyone bashing me about this
obviously doesn't know the difference
between a rumor and hard evidence.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 52m
Just for the record, I never reported
this Les Miles rumor thinking it was
true. It's just a rumor I saw and I
thought it was interesting.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 1h
Message boards is where any of this info came from. I simply stated what I saw.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 1h
I never expected this to blow up like it
has. It's kinda ridiculous.

 

Well, gee, I heard from Tigerdroppings that Nick Saban regularly participates in animal sex orgies with Harvey Updyke while hopped up on crystal meth, so I'll put it up on Twitter within the hour. It's just a rumor I'm putting out there on the internet for the whole world to see, it's just what I heard, if it becomes a big news story it's not my fault.

 

These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along...move along.
