The not too distant future and why LSU will never be Elite...

I'm now predicting—partly because I am fed up with the fickle, cry baby, we deserve better moronic fan base and partly because I think he is—that Les Miles will be the next HC at UM.

RichRod is out; he was screwed from the start and UM is just not in the same 'class' as RichRod. (Hint that's not an insult to UM)

Michigan can not afford to hack this again so they are keeping it quiet and in house but Harbaugh and Miles were the only two acceptable options.

If they both turn UM down then Hoke and others will be considered.

Harbaugh will have at least 4 NFL Teams throwing Money at him and one of those could guarantee him a reunion with his LUCKy QB.

Plus, the Blue Blood in Harbaugh's veins has apparently been upgraded at Stanford and he may now think himself a wee bit better than his once beloved Wolverines. (He will be in the NFL next year, book it.)

For Les Miles it is as simple as this; he goes to Michigan, his first love and 'dream job' with an opportunity to restore glory at his alma- matter which frankly should be about as hard as TCU dominating it's new (or old) conference-that is to say, not very.

Miles could walk away from LSU with an extremely credible resume and into a unique position at Michigan where he might become legendary.

The cupboards are not bare and RR has definitely upgraded UMs speed and skill on offense with some pretty decent talent coming in on defense.

Miles knows the recruiting trail up north and will only enhance that part of the equation, plus he brings a national presence that Michigan has lacked recently.

What is more, tOSU, Wisc and the B10(+1+1)in general might be in for a drop-off next year. Newcomers Nebraska and a Mad Hatter led UM could take over rather quickly.

I believe Miles would own the B10+1+1 over the next ten years and could put another ring or two on his finger(s) while cementing his place in CFB lore as one of the best coaches EVER at two different universities in two major conferences.

Too bad LSU fans will be looking back on the Les Miles era as 'the good ole days' and wondering why we went from perennial power to also ran so quickly after the legend left town.

LSU fans who have been (and still are) badgering this man will have to wear that creed like a scarlet letter for years to come as it can ONLY go down hill from here if LSU finds itself looking for a new coach this year.

Pray Mr. Miles looks past the idiocy of our fan base and decides to finish what he started because if he doesn’t I’d be willing to wager UM will be playing for the BCSNC long before we ever climb that hill again.

Heck you never know, we could get it right three times in a row but we might be pushing our luck, especially if 'Lucky' Les is eating grass at the Big House.

Oh well, I guess we are going to find out if Gruden really is available!
