re: UM's "request to speak" before Champ game classless?
Posted by glenn327 on 11/30/07 at 10:24 am
It was LSUs AD who chose to make an announcement to the press-it is strictly his fault if the request to speak to Miles (which is a courtesy on Michigan's part) causes LSU to be less focussed for the game.
Our AD has conducted this search very honorably....

I guess you guys are angry that your school is being used (again) as a stepping stone to something better.
The Big Ten in general (and the University of Iowa in particular) have also been used as stepping stones-several of our University presidents have gone on to be presidents in the Ivy Leagu...

you guys are delusional if you think LSU compares with Michigan as a coaching opportunity.
Five coaches have named Michigan as a top (or THE top) coaching position in America: Holtz, Miles, Meyer, Fulmer, and Gruden.
Can you name [b]EVEN ONE [/b]who named LSU (and was not then seeking tha...

Michigan fans (and presumably Michigan staff) have had their eyes on Les Miles since his second year at OSU.
as an outsider (UM fan), I would think you guys have the pull to bring in an established HC. To me-the job of HC is VERY different from that of coordinator.
A lot is it is schmoozing w...

I have heard that Louisiana has a deep culture of corruption, and this thread illustrates its corrosive effect.
You guys seem to believe that there is is vast, subrosa conspiracy to bring Miles to Michigan, and that the 'deal is already done'.
I prefer to take the principal players at their wo...

do I want Miles as HC at Michigan?
I am not sure. His performance is at times underwhelming.
But that begs the question-who do I want? Again-I am not sure. Maybe Miles, maybe Kelly (Cinci), or Grobe (Wake).
My guess-and it is nothing more than that-is that it is between Miles and Kelly...

almost forgot-Jon Gruden said his life goal is to be HC at Michigan.
That makes five major league guys (Gruden, Meyer, Holz, Miles, Phil Folmer from Tennessee) who [b]SPECIFICALLY[/b] named Michigan as a top (or [b]THE[/b] top) CFB program in the country, and [b]ZERO[/b] for LSU.

first-where did I say Florida is a better program than Michigan?
you guys keep saying Meyer chose UF over ND. Meyer had already committed to UF when the ND job opened up again.

One more 'for the Gipper' (who was from Michigan, but who played for that other school):
Some top coaches have 'out' clauses in their contracts allowing them to leave for one or a few specific coaching jobs. These are a measure of how desirable those specific coaching jobs are.
The 'out' cl...

To demonstrate that such a move by Les Miles would be a distinct step UP in the CFB food chain, I have compared the two programs below, [b]using a ranking method shortened from a long list posted by BuLLdawg, a Georgia fan[/b], who used it to argue that Georgia belongs among the top dozen or so CFB ...

Gosh, fun with statistics.....you can get pretty much any result you want if you choose the time frame arbitrarily enough, viz:
• Since the 2000 season . . . 6.5 years
• Michigan owns a whopping 11 national titles in program history; LSU just two . . . . 120ish years
. But, since 1949 . . . . ...
