CFN's Fiutak: Maybe it is Miles

To try to piece this together, if it’s not Les Miles, it seems like Michigan thought it had Jim Harbaugh, waited until after the Orange Bowl, leaked on Tuesday that Rodriguez was going to be canned, realized it didn’t have Harbaugh, backtracked and denied that Rodriguez had been fired, bought 12 hours by putting it off until Wednesday, realized it couldn’t go back at that point and keep Rodriguez, and then went ahead with the firing. Again, total guess on my part, but even before Rodriguez was fired, all indications were that Michigan wasn’t going to make a move unless there was a specific guy ready to jump in. To speculate further, maybe the plan behind

Sounds like something that could have easily been written by a thousand different people on this board.

his ideas are pure speculation

All of this is. There is nothing to indicate anything. The people reading something into silence, then any of Miles' comments this week, are simply wrong. I'm not saying he won't go. I'm saying there is nothing to indicate he is.

I think they wanted to fire RR for a year now

So, one would think they have been putting out feeler for a good while now...

Certainly Miles has had phone conversations with insiders at UM as he keeps in touch with the Michigan family all the time...Per his interview a few years back...
