Jordan Jefferson: Les Miles said he's staying at LSU
Arlington, Texas - LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson said Les Miles has told his team he's not going to take the head coaching job at Michigan after LSU's 41-24 AT&T Cotton Bowl victory against Texas A&M."He said, 'They have rumors going around about (me) going to Michigan, but it's not true,'" Jefferson said. "'It's nonsense.' He said hasn't spoken to anybody, anything about Michigan. We're going to stick with that and get ready for next year."
"I'm not worried. Les Miles loves this team. He loves all the work that we do for him. He loves working with us. I feel he's not going anywhere. I'm positive he's not going anywhere."
Miles denied that he has spoken to Michigan about the opening that occurred this week when Wolverines Coach Rich Rodriguez was fired after three seasons. Miles, a former Michigan player and assistant coach for 10 years, is rumored to be one of the leading candidates for the job.
LSU running back Stevan Ridley concurred with Jefferson.
"He told us this is his football team and this is where he's going to be," Ridley said. "We respect our coach, and this is our coach for right now, and we're going to enjoy him as long as we can. Coach Miles is a Tiger. This is his group of guys, and he's proud of us. I think this is where he will be next year."
