LSU's Miles retiring
The Mad Hatter is hanging up his hat.
LSU head coach Les Miles is set to retire following back to back 5-7 campaigns, his 13th and 14th seasons at LSU. Miles, 66, stated that "it was the best time" and that "they were likely to fire me anyhow."
LSU has a shortlist of candidates, including San Diego State's Sterlin Gilbert, Fresno State's Tim DeRuyter and UConn's Bob Diaco, though he has already denied interest and that he will remain at UConn for the 2019 season.
Miles compiled a 136-47 record at LSU and a 28-21 record in his four seasons at Oklahoma State for a 164-68 record in his career.

UConn assistant Trebell accepts Hawai'i head coaching job
A third member from the CAC fraternity is graduating up to a head coaching job.
UConn super assistant Bob Trebell has accepted the head coaching job at the University of Hawai'i, according to an Associated Press report, following now USC coach Quinn Shea and Washington State coach Kaelyn Willingham as the third CAC member to become a head coach.
This means Trebell will not be joining UConn on their trip to the TicketCity Cactus Bowl in Tempe when they face Ohio State, simply to get a jump start on recruiting and molding the program.
