Michigan info starting to jive...Miles less and less likely to be a candidate

from today's 247 update.

Who's #2?
One source we continue to talk to insists that Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops would be Michigan's number two target if things with Harbaugh are to falter.
Hackett's role remains the same: Get Harbaugh. The job of the search firm hired is to narrow the list of the rest of the candidates, determine the "swim lanes" and funnel things down as Hackett explained in his press conference last week.
We don't know if Stoops would be interested. I posted a comment from a good OU source yesterday that said Stoops would probably not be a candidate for the Michigan job if he never pursued the job at Florida. Whether that's the case or not, it's hard to say.
Les Miles seems to be trending a bit downward, and that's not only based on his tweet on Thursday referring to Florida as a "permanent opponent". Talking to those in Baton Rouge, Miles has children entrenched in the Baton Rouge area that have grown up there their whole lives, and a move at this juncture may not make much sense. There's also the idea that some that remain in the Michigan AD (not Lloyd Carr) are not in favor of a potential Miles hire.

Isn't stoops from Ohio anyway?

So everyone's been correct lately in assuming that after this season, nobody would want Coach Miles. He's no longer a desirable candidate.

People on the Michigan boards don't understand that "permanent" is referring to our cross over game set up, not that Les is going to permanently be here. There was a lot of chatter about this yesterday and none of these folks grasp the concept that Les was taking a dig at the SEC.
Here is an interesting article about the players' meeting with the interim AD yesterday. Not that it is ground breaking, but it does say that the AD assured no spread offense (probably good news for the folks from Starkville)

Edit: If Hackett is picking up steam towards being the "permanent" AD, then I think Miles is still in the mix, given the relationship between the two.

This was all a dog-and-pony show. He was never seriously considered.

So if CLM doesn't even get a honest look, do we consider this a win?

The sum of all fears.

the only caveat in the michigan search with miles could be this:
When coaches start declining the gig like harbaugh and other coaches then they'll have no choice but to eventually look at miles at the 5th or 6th choice

Looks like they're putting all their eggs in the Harbaugh basket. If they have to wait until January and still don't get him, Michigan's options are going to be awfully limited. Not many coaches will want to be just a backup plan after they've chased after Harbaugh for so long.

So they won't offer Miles a 3rd time? Interesting.

It won't get down to a 5th or 6th choice unless all 5 or 6 are completely unrealistic. And then, there's no way Miles would accept. His ego wouldn't allow it.
