Surrounded by his LSU players, coach Les Miles loudly and proudly sang the school fight song and savored the celebration of the Tigers' first AT&T Cotton Bowl victory in 45 years. It might have been a farewell to the Bayou. Nobody knows for sure with Miles likely a leading candidate for the coaching vacancy at Michigan, where he played and was an assistant coach. When asked immediately after the game if he'd be back next season, there was an extended pause before Miles responded, "It's a wonderful place. I love it here." He said he has not been contacted by his alma mater. Amid the uncertainty of Miles' future, Jordan Jefferson threw three touchdown passes to Terrence Toliver and ran for a score to help the No. 11 Tigers to a 41-24 victory over Texas A&M (No. 17 BCS, No. 18 AP) in the 75th Cotton Bowl Friday night. "We trust Les Miles and we trust his word," Jefferson said. "His word was he's not going anywhere and he'll be our coach next year." read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=310070245
