November 29, 200718 yr ESPN reported that Michigan has ask for and been granted permission to talk with Les Miles about the vacant Michigan Football Coaching Position. Was also stated that they (Michigan) had gained permission but not untill after the SEC Championship game this Saturday and also LSU has scheduled talks with Miles about a contract extension. I say Les Miles will be the next Michigan Coach. Just a matter of when it is announced.
November 29, 200718 yr It's all done except the wait... I think the Ferentz, Kelly, etc talk was all just smoke and mirrors. Deep down we all knew that it would be a "Michigan Man"...........
November 29, 200718 yr Seems they did give Ferentz a good look based on the President's ties to hiring him at Iowa, but I agree. They did a nice job diverting attention while they waited. And I said from day 1 Kelly was never an option...

And I said from day 1 Kelly was never an option... Have learned over time that your sources are usually dead on.....:thumb: I never thought Kelly would be an option. I just think it would be a terribly hard sell to the Michigan brass. I don't know how you'd pitch a guy that was at Central Michigan 2 years ago as being your #1 candidate. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a terrific coach, I just don't think it would have been a great fit for either involved.

November 29, 200718 yr Saban has made contact with LSU from a few rumors I'm hearing... :sssh: :lol: Wouldn't that be hilarious.
November 29, 200718 yr :sssh: Please don't get that one going...:lol: I think AL would have a heart attack if that happened. :lol:
November 29, 200718 yr I've heard it four times from different people that have a good grasp on things. Trying to find out where it started...
November 29, 200718 yr Miles is the right man for the job, and at the perfect time. UM needs him to get back to the Michigan ways of doing things. I have been against Carr since about 2000, but I do have repect for the man. He ran a clean program and for 99% of the programs in the country was very successfull. Miles brings excitement and intensity back on the sideline. I only hope he keeps Ron English and fires Debord. ( If he is the next coach)
November 29, 200718 yr He is... I believe you are 100% correct on this. I have also heard Miles agent is in Baton Rouge tonight. Speculation is he is trying to negotiate the buyout. Have you heard any of this?
