I always trust my Wanger, I guess this is no exception...

Les Miles is one of the top coaches in the nation. That on top of him knowing the Michigan way of doing things makes him the only perfect fit for this job. It is a done deal and I for one am extremely happy. I also see alot of top notch recruits that have LSU listed as an option. Can Miles get some of these to go with an already good class and push Michigan's class into a top 5?

 

On a lighter note I hope he does not screw up and put AR KANSAS on the schedule and the Arkansas team shows up.

Done deal? Money could still be an issue. I heard UM is willing to approach $3M. I heard LSU is ready to go $3.5M.

I do not see UM offering anything above 2.5 for a coach. Lsu will try to counter with a larger amount but it is not about the money with this job for Miles. He is getting his dream job. If you listen to Miles talk he sounds so much like Schembechler it is scary.

Press conference today, I think he is gonna stay. Why have a PC on the day of your biggest game of the year? He is staying is what I'm hearing down south. I'll share this on the other thread.
