I assume Hoke would be the leading candidate, but many think that the powers that be do not want him because of his lack of signature wins.

The Harbaugh contingent will be unhappy no matter what. The Carr group aren't going to like Miles.

Who does Michigan go after if Miles turns Michigan down?

Why does Hoke seem like a really bad hire to me? For example, if LSU loses Les Miles, would Hoke be high on your list of replacements? Would Hoke have been a good hire for Florida?

If Hoke did not have Michigan ties, his name would not even be mentioned.

That being said, I think the list of Michigan candidates looks just like the thread for LSU candidates.

They should go for Kyle Whittingham.

I totally agree. I think Miles is their first call after the Cotton Bowl.

You need a Midwest guy than can win with a spread offense, because three more years of transition is NOT what Michigan needs.

So...

Pat Fitzgerald would be my first option by a mile.

After that, Gary Pinkel.

Jesus, (no pun intended) this is like searching for a new Pope.

Also, and this will get scoffed at, but I'm telling you guys they could do a LOT worse than June Jones right here. He can build 'em up like no other and he runs the spread.

None of these have anything in common with Rich Rod or his offense except the word spread. Pat White Dan Persa and Timmy Chang one of these is not like the other.
