Michigan said "No" to Miles

Stuff I was reading on the Michigan board basically said the following:


1) Les was hired as offensive line coach at Michigan by Bo Schembechler. He came from Colorado. Both he and Carr were on that staff. Carr was the DC.

2) Three years later, Bo resigned, and was replaced by Gary Moeller, who had been Bo's OC.

3) Sometime during Moeller's tenure (1990-94) Les and Lloyd had a falling out. Some people insinuated that Les had slept with Gary Moeller's wife. I don't know what that has to do with Lloyd Carr, though.

4) What is known is that when Lloyd Carr became the next coach in 95, Miles was told to look for another job, which he found as OC for Okie State. He then went on to work for the Cowboys, then returned to Okie State as HC. We know the rest.

5) The next time these two had anything to do with each other whatsoever was during the Jai Eugene recruitment. I've read that Lloyd Carr basically accused Les of dirty recruiting against him. Les apparently revealed to Jai that Lloyd Carr had Parkinson's disease or something like that, and wouldn't be UM's coach for much longer anyways.

The truth is that Jai had his own reasons for staying in Louisiana (his child) and even if Les did negatively recruit (which I doubt) it probably didn't impact Jai's decision.

Anyways....those are the stories.
