If Miles left, he'd make Nick Saban look like Honest Abe Lincoln. In fact, I wonder if Michigan would want Miles after he lies to the entire football nation about staying at LSU. Miles and Michigan would be the laughingstock of college football ... alhough admittedly, that didn't stop Saban and Alabama.

Heard that LSU and Miles were having a meeting Thursday and it seems to be locked for sure. Michigan needs to drop it and try to find someone else.

Yes and Nick Satan will be our defensive coordinator and Gerry Dinardo will come back to LSU to be the head coach. Are you kidding, I wish people would stop posting this crap.

any chance tressel will be gone after he loses another mnc to a sec team.

No chance he leaves. He would completely ruin his credibility at this point.

Memo to the next Michigan head football coach (especially if it isn't Les Miles, and heck, even if it is): Win big. Win now. Don't stop.
The stakes have been raised in this poker game of college football coaching. High-profile Michigan football alums by the truckload, not to mention a tidal wave of Michigan fans, want to see Miles be the next head coach.
Michigan Athletics Director Bill Martin isn't talking, but he knows what's out there. He's got a full-scale insurrection on his hands. The uprising surged strongly Saturday with the drama that unfolded in Atlanta, with Miles saying he's LSU's guy, for now and in the foreseeable future.
It swelled through the weekend and early week, with reports of Martin not responding forcefully to LSU's effort to wrap up the man who has its football team headed to the national championship game. The tidal wave of sentiment hit the shore when reports began to filter out that Martin wasn't available to Miles' agent or personnel from Michigan during the pre-SEC Championship game flurry of finagling.
A host of football alums are outraged. Fans have flooded sports talk shows, Internet sites, etc., with their displeasure and demands for an explanation.
The question no one has fully answered is this: was being out of touch during those potentially crucial hours a colossal mistake, or a calculated delay? It's never a good idea to be in a BlackBerry hole or the Bermuda Triangle if your own people are trying to reach you in the middle of a coaching search. That's not up for debate.
But whether Miles was Martin's man when the pivotal weekend rolled around is left unanswered. It certainly seemed so, in the weeks leading up to the Dec. 1 weekend. Major newspapers reporting on the process cited negotiations by intermediaries who were hammering out contract details.
That's not to say there wasn't, and isn't, opposition to the man headed for a crystal football showdown with Jim Tressel. That opposition is fierce, and goes beyond those at whom a finger has been pointed thus far. Whether that opposition has a smoking gun that could have stopped Martin in his tracks -- or at least slowed him down enough to open the door for LSU's power play ? is possible. At the very least, Martin appeared unwilling to deal under duress after LSU made its play.
Would he now, before Miles signs the deal to which he agreed in principle? That's the hope of all those inundating the U-M Athletic Department with pro-Miles messages.
There are other coaches who could win big at Michigan, without question. But at this point, those who don't carry names like Urban Meyer or Bob Stoops would be a very tough sell. Michigan fans, unsettled by a recent losing streak to Ohio State, in bowls, and one particular shock-the-world loss, aren't inclined to settle.
So hit the ground running, Next Man Up. Or Michigan nation might hit back.

Uh...I posted a topic regarding who would be chosen to replace Miles BEFORE the big "I'm busy...have a nice day" speech. My post was primarily about my fear that NASAMAN and Skip were incapable of choosing a good replacement and it was whacked to the "coaching changes" board. How does this guy get a two page rant thread about who our new head coach could be post the most unambiguous press conference in history? Whatever.

That would be nice but he is not coming. Martin made sure of that.

It's no different than other top coaches are getting paid.
