re: Anyone want to read up an account of the Miles saga?

That was what Dinardo reported on espn radio and the freep reporter picked up on it and gave Dinardo a chance to comment

If Bill Martin really wants him still, they have a chance. He could tell him that he will never have another chance to come to UM. And they could offer to match the salary at LSU, which they are willing to do now. UM has announced they would pay close to 3 mil a year for a big time coach.

Except, Bill Martin himself said Miles is no longer a candidate. As far as what I have seen from these Michigan fans posting here, Martin's word is usually pretty solid.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.....

who was the herbstreit source? any idea?

Michigan is caught in a time warp. The sport and its coaching/business side have passed them by. They have not gone out on the market to hire a coach in a long long time,and like ND, they thought they could just choose anyone they wanted because...well..they are Michigan and no right thinking person would choose LSU over Michigan. But that is EXACTLY what happened. It is obvious that the public version is true if you follow all of this carefully. Now, the Michigan people are really stumped by all of this. I mean..we are Michigan and you are not so there must be some dirty reason why someone would have chosen LSU over Michigan. So they buy into this bs about how Miles was coerced into taking LSU. There is no evidence whatsoever that this was the case.

u have to be kidding.

Michigan agreed to not contact him until AFTER the SECCG...The above statement is ridiculous.

Not saying it's factual in any way, so maybe I am kidding. Just a scenario that crossed my mind. I don't have all the """inside sources""" that you supposedly have. Most probaly is ridiculous, but if I had predicted last weekends intrique, that also would have been labeled ridiculous.

you act like I have some "Agenda" here...All i've tried to do is fill you people in, but you guys don't seem to listen.

Everything I see shows Carr/MSC trying their best to get Ferentz even though it seems everyone else wants miles.


Simply nutz....bet we end up with ferentz

---

Ferentz is in with the good ole boys network, and as I understand it, Carr wanted one of his assistants (R. English) or Ferentz, and was definitely in the anti-Miles camp.

If Ferentz is back in the mix (and it appears he is) then it's obvious that Miles was their second choice, and their short list only had two guys on it. If Kelly, or Butch Davis or another name doesn't emerge quickly, then I will start to get nervous.

Having said that, if you look at Miles' public statements, he has shut the door to coaching at Michigan. I don't see how he could go, now.

I was just giving them a hard time on the 2nd statement...No I am not one of those people.

On the first one trust me...I don't know if I believe it..I confirmed it with the source a few times.

So thats why I say take that one with a grain of salt.

Please don't trash me on this I'm just venting. I've wanted Miles here at Michigan long before the media hype. Nothing against the LSU nation but Miles was born to coach Michigan. To see how this was handled by the U of M administration is just torture. To do this to anyone and especially of our own is just incomprehensible.

I have bled blue my entire life and right now I can't stand Michigan... Les I don't blame you for hating us...

Les Crush OSU, Carr certainly can't
