ALWAYS RECRUITING

The LSU coach, who won the BCS title in 2007 and has had three straight seasons with at least 10 wins, got a seven-year contract extension worth $4.3 million per year.

DAN PATRICK: Who's more important in recruiting—the mother or the father?

LES MILES: The decision maker—the person the young man has relied on for a lifetime, whether it's a father or a mother or a brother or an uncle or a coach.

DP: Do you scout out who that person is?

LM: You [describe the program] to everybody you meet, and you only hope you're touching the right person.

DP: Do you ever say anything negative about other schools?

LM: Absolutely not.

DP: Any interest in coaching in the NFL?
