If Miles leaves, it will be very soon

The ways we have/would lost our coache(s) is just unfortunate circumstances. Nothing more nothing less.

Thats the point if this plays out, then that will be 2for2 in people that apparently don't think a NC is the most important aspect of a coaching job!

so if miles leaves, and pellini takes over, and he wins the nc, he could have a career head coaching record of 2-0 w/ a national champ on his resume.

Only to get fired the next day? Still looks good on paper

We should know something by Dec 7.
The SECCG is on the 1st of DEC and following that there is a one week dead period for recruiting.
So if Miles and MI are going to strike a deal it should come during that time.
MI can not wait much longer than that on Miles.
If hes out then they need time to move on to other coaches.

LSU is on top and every good coach, especially the young ones would want to be part of that. Enjoy the success, you really don't want to stick with some guy for a long period of time (see, Mich., Penn State, Tenn, Fla. St.). An infusion of new blood, at the head coach or assistant level is essential in today's college game. Take it from UofM, we just ended 20+ years of the same recycled thing. We won some, had stability, got some good players, stayed out of NCAA "jail," but we left a lot on the table in doing it.

Don't believe that Mich will act quickly, it doesn't work that way here. They knew in Sept Lloyd was going and did nothing. Not even a list. They are gong to form an advisory committee the week after Thanksgiving. They won't talk to anyone who is still involved in conference games or headed to the NC. They would see that as inappropriate. You won't see a move from Mich until after the NC game.

Bill Martin is a real estate guy (worth a fortune, takes no salary from UofM) brought in to fix the finances and rework the athletic facilities. Oh, he will make the hire, but others will make the selection.

Many think that this Mich Man thing is BS. The three top coaches in Mich history are: Fielding Yost (KS), Fritz Crisler (OH-Wesleyn) and Bo (Miami of OH), so Mich is at its best when it ignores a Mich Man and gets new blood. That's what most of the faithful want now.

Yeah, they might contact some agents, feel some AD's out (just to keep the Alums at bay) but they won't overtly interfere with any schools season, including their bowl game, until it is over. It is just not their way.

I totally agree with this and don't understand the insecure crybabies who want someone to be here 20 years to to justify that we're not a "stepping stone." I could give a rat's arse if we hire a new coach every 5 years as long as they leave an SEC championship or 2 and a national championship in their wake. New blood and new energy is good for the soul.

In my wildest dreams I cannot believe any coach would walk away from a chance to win the MNC!- Miles may want Mich but he will not give them a yes if it means he cannot coach in the MNC game--now if we lose to ARK or the SECCG--then he talks to Mich

I almost finished reading your post but then realized you were on drugs at the time.

Bill Martin said a similar thing about hiring a b-ball coach. Then he took al lot of time and hired J. Belein. He gets to make the hire, but others are making the selection. They will not hurry, all of their respective jobs are on the line in hiring the next UofM coach
