ESPN Has No Credibility

What little credibility ESPN had just went flying out the window.

ESPN football "expert" Kirk Herbstreit told viewers on the cable network late this morning that LSU coach Les Miles had accepted the head football coach's job job at Michigan. Herbstreit also reported that Georgia Tech defensive coordinator and interim head coach Jon Tenuta would go with him.

WRONG!!!

Miles and LSU called a hasty news conference this afternoon and Miles tersely told reporters he isn't going anywhere and plans to stay at LSU. He also said he would not take questions because he is preparing for the SEC championship game. and seemed miffed that he had to explain to his squad he is not leaving on the day they are getting ready for their biggest game of the year.

Herbstreit's reporting is irresponsible at best. And his timing is even worse as he has distracted one of the best football teams in the nation as it prepares for it's biggest game of the year. This isn't the first time ESPN has played fast and loose with the facts. Maybe ESPN should stick to televising basketball and football games and leave real reporting to professionals.
