LSU: After tonight's win, Joe Alleva came to the podium and announced that Les would return. In his presser, Les said that he didn't know that he would stay on until after the game when the President of the University came to him and said that he wanted him to remain the head coach of the LSU Tigers. LSU AD Joe Alleva said something to Les thereafter. At his presser Les staff changes would be evaluated but did not want to speak to any specifics at this time. Our story with further notes and quotes (some of which are fantastic).
