Miles stepping down rumors are FALSE.

His twitter account just went from 238 followers to 30,327 followers over night. Some more of his tweets:

Just to think, if you
had my major and tweeted about that
rumor, you would've gained 5,000
followers. It's ridiculous.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 10h
I've continuously said it was a
rumor and that's it.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 10h
I never once thought tweeting a rumor
would have this kind of impact.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 10h
For the people claiming I will be sued,
I wasn't the first person to tweet about
about this rumor.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 9h
I said it was where
I got the rumor from. I never said it
was true.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 9h
I only tweeted a rumor. People do
that every day.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 9h
In recap, I said the Les Miles rumor
was a rumor from the beginning

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 8h
@RantSports I saw it on
Bamaonline.com on the round table
message board after a friend asked
me about it. Only a rumor. Nothing
more

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 2h
I never once claimed to find this
out in a journalistic manner. This is a
complete overreaction haha

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 2h
Fact: a guy with 5000 followers
tweeted the Les Miles rumor before
me. I had 238 and now have 30k. That
doesn't make sense.

Sam McGaw @sammcgaw 1h
It's completely
ridiculous. Tweet a rumor and
everyone thinks it's a proven fact.

 

I thought this was funny:

Danger Guerrero @DangerGuerrero 2h

I remember when this one came out.

I called a coaching friend an asked what he was doing. Redoing my resume. You in on another job? Nope, after the O'Leary deal, everyone of the staff was doing the same thing. Calling schools, seeing if there info was the same as his. Date's, times, coaches, etc. Like he said, he didn't want to get a dream job and let them find something on the resume.

After the BP "Ride," this too was a wakeup call. Ark knew what they had when they hired him, some school, not so lucky.

 

I think it has more to do with WKU hiring Petrino and all the backlash they must have taken for doing so.

So when this guy read a rumor on the BamaOnline.com discussion forum that Les was in the exact same boat as Petrino, he tweeted about it as "interesting" because of course that is especially interesting to WKU fans, which were probably the only people following him on twitter

He obviously didn't expect it to blow up and go beyond his niche followers of WKU fans. Based on his bio as a student reporter for WKU majoring in broadcast news, anybody searching twitter to see if the Les Miles rumor had any legs would have found his tweet and, based on his credentials as a "journalist," re-tweeted his post to their followers as a legit post from a "journalist" confirming the rumor as legit...who in turn re-tweeted to their followers, etc etc spreading it further and further across twitter as a story that actually might have some legs...

 

He'd still be at Arky today if he weren't stupid enough to give the girl a job in the AD.
