Old Rumor: Jerry Talking With Another Candidate...

...Ok, take this for what it's worth, but I heard something interesting this evening and thought I would share it with my fellow Cowboy fans here on Cowboys Zone. It's only a rumor at this point, but the information comes from someone who provided me outstanding inside information on the Saban to Bama story several weeks before that story hit the national media.

Anyway, this is what I heard...

On my way home from work this evening I was talking with a very good friend of mine who lives out of state. My friend is not a Cowboys fan, but he works in sports media and covers college football. My friend has a very good source who is in the agent business. We were talking about college football recruiting and I asked him about a very high profile high school player who lives in Lousiana. I asked him if he knew which college he would sign with on National Signing Day. He said USC, LSU and Bama were battling it out for the kid's signature, but that he just heard today from his friend in the agent business that Jerry Jones was in "serious negotiations" with Les Miles of LSU for the Cowboys' HC job. Keep in mind this information did not come from the agent who represents Les Miles, but from a close associate of an agent who represents SEVERAL HCs and players in the NFL and SEVERAL Div I HCs. Another interesting thing I heard is that Les Miles' agent is from Dallas. Hmm...

But, let me say again, this is only a rumor at this point, so I'm certainly not saying it's going to happen and if in time it is proven that there is nothing to it, then please don't shoot the messenger. :D But, if this coaching search drags on past the Super Bowl, this could be a rumor to keep an eye on. One thing that could influence or delay an official offer to a current college HC is that National Signing Day for high school football players is Wednesday, February 7.

I suspect some suckers have been sucked.

Well, you could have said the same thing back in November about Saban and Bama, but I certainly understand your point and acknowledge that during recruiting season it's not unusual for someone to put out a false rumor about a rival HC looking at another job.

Just telling you what I heard.

Whether this is relevant or not.....but is a recruit held liable to a commitment if the HC leaves the School?

ugh...I can't think of any reason to like that hire.
My take from the original post is that JJ is still looking. In other words, he hasn't made up his mind yet. I'm not all that excited about Miles. Tonight word comes that Singletary is coming to town. Now perhaps Miles is as well. Maybe Norv didn't overwhelm as much as some believe.

I heard from a Source the other day, whos Sources Source walked by a known NFL Sources Source, that overheard the Janitor at Valley Ranch say that Jerry was quoted in the John saying he was interviewing the Source of Les Miles.

What I heard....
