LSU coach Les Miles is reportedly pursuing Buffalo Bills wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert for a similar job on the Tigers staff according to FootballCoachScoop.com.
The Web site reported that the two parties met Sunday. Tolbert was not available for comment Monday.
According to The Baton Rouge Advocate, current LSU receivers coach D.J. McCarthy is at the center of possible NCAA rules violations the Tigers are investigating. The probe also involves an unnamed player on LSU's team that didn't play this season. LSU already has one opening on its staff with assistant head coach/running backs coach Larry Porter taking the job at Memphis.
The majority of Tolbert's coaching career has been spent in the South. A native of Conroe, Texas, Tolbert played wide receiver at LSU before coaching stints at Louisiana-Monroe, Auburn, Louisiana-Lafayette and Florida. He was the receivers coach with the Arizona Cardinals in 2003 before joining the Bills' staff the following season.

While it's no loss for the Bills, i find it interesting that Tolbert is looking for a new job in early December for the same position. It's not like this is a new promotion for the guy.... except i think the staff has been told they will clean house and guys are already trying to look for jobs.
