All this, "Miles will be the next HC at Meechigan" talk...

Awesome post again, Red!!

I have a question for all the Les Miles doubters on the rival forums and I posed this to Jimmy Ott today, if Miles is an average coach, why is a big time program like Michegan interested? You can't have it both ways, saying he's just cruising on Nick (I'll always be a Tiger) Saban's talent, and then saying we're going to lose him to Mich.

 

No problem, and check your pm, I sent you one as a test. You should be able to pm. Click "Control Panel in the upper left and go to "Personal Messaging Center" and play around from there. :thumb:

 

Maybe Petrino will flame out at the dirty birds in one year and be out coach.

But, its not a given the Les would leave. saban made a mistake, Spurrier made a mistake, did Petrino make a mistake (Maybe, maybe not).

Is Michigan an upgrade vs. LSU? That's not clear to me at all. The skill players seem to be in the south. The SEC is a great conference and winning here will bring recognition.

What family draw does he have back there?

Me, I'd stay in BR. He's tamed most of the fan base. He'd be starting over in Ann Arbor (with some old ties).

 

Coach Miles is a football letterman from Michigan -- it's his Alma Mater.

Not only that, but, he was an Assistant Coach at Michigan for years (at least 8 years).

You don't think that he'd listen if they called?

He makes less than Houston Nutt right now. He makes $275,000 less than we paid Saban back in 2003.

You don't think that he'd listen if Michigan put $2.5 mil/per year on the table?

 

Miles won't be going anywhere...If he has a mediocre to good year,that won't be enough to get Michigan to talk to him.If he has an outstanding year,all the incentives kick in on his currrent LSU contract.
