Re: Les Miles to Coach Michigan
 

I watched yesterday's press conference and Miles said that he would be speaking to Michigan after the SEC title game.

How the [censored] does this happen with Herbstreit kicking it off on Gameday this morning? I thought Desmond was part of the search committee??? Herbie wouldn't run with this without at least talking to Desmond, right? And wouldn't Desmond deny that it was a done deal because nobody involved wanted this story to break today? The whole thing makes no sense.

Is it just assumed that Michigan won't/didn't offer a market contract ($2m+)?

Martin said last week that Michigan was willing to pay top dollar for it's next head coach and that doing so was something that would be a "culture change" for Michigan.

Cradle of Coaches FTW!!!
FWIW, Woody was a Miami, Ohio guy too.
Bo was a senior at Miami when Woody took over for Sid Gillman as head-coach.

Bo served as an asst to Woody at Ohio State but then went back to Miami as head coach from 63-68 and THEN took the Michigan job in 68.

Bo did not go directly from OSU to Michigan.

Any chance that ESPN intentionally spread this misinformation to generate a breaking news story?

Seems to be a good way to create some interest and temporarily pop ratings up. Just a good old conspiracy theory.

Any chance Les Miles was the ESPN "source", so he could get a better extension? :-)

Each Les press conference makes me hope he isn't our next coach more. He sounds retarded.

He makes most SEC fans very happy by staying. It's not like he is some amazing recruiter, the school recruits itself & they have almost complete control on a good High School football state. Not that I like looking at rankings in recruiting, but they have 20 guys this year & not a bunch of highly rated ones. Not impressed. They have the 2nd lowest rating per player in the top 15 on Rivals.

No.

ESPN claiming it broke the initial Miles to LSU story is a joke. mgoblog and others had it yesterday.
