From what I've read I expect belowpar is close to Bertman's camp not Miles. Anyhow I'm not trying to start any rumors because I don't know jack. But something does smell though. Think about it, Herbstreit breaks news just before the SECCG Miles to Michigan and even goes as far to say Tenuta will be the DC. Did they really screw that up that bad, Maybe? Later that day LSU reports Miles has a new deal, but does he? It is the existing deal with added years, no pay increase and the same 1.25 million buyout clause and. Hmmmm... Why keep the buyout the same, why not make it 10 milliom if he's not leaving? I'll tell you why because Les Miles won't sign it, that's why. He cannot shut the door on Michigan. Now everyone in the Bayou is happy and LSU wins the SECCG. Later that night the the domino's fall into place LSU makes it to the MCG. Then, I don't remember what press conference it is but I remember Les saying how happy he is but he wishes he could be a two places at once. Almost teary eyed while he says it. WTF does that mean??? Do you really want your HC to wish he could be at Michigan and LSU.
Early the next week reports come out of Ann Arbor Miles agent tries and contact Martin prior to announcing the deal with LSU but our dumb arse AD doesn't return the call. shite hits the fan in Ann Arbor. Ex players, Alumni and fans want Miles and can't believe that it was screwed up. Michigan makes a BS play at Schiano when most everyone know he's not leaving Rutgers he's waiting for Joe Pa to die. Everything is still quiet in Baton Rouge or is it. Mary Sue Coleman the President of Michigan with Bill Martin makes a call to Les Miles on Friday the day after inked his supposed new deal. The conversation per Les Miles is their looking coaching candidates.
In a interview this morning Skip Bertman didn't even know about the contact between MSC and Miles. In todays press conference Les says he's staying again. Hooray... I really didn't jhear anything I haven't already heard. You have a championship game to play what else did you expect Miles to say. I don't believe Miles is leaving Baton Rouge but come January 8th if he does it wouldn't surprise me.

If Belowpar is closer to the Bertman camp than the Miles' camp, so what? His information was dead on accurate.
Why does Miles have a buyout for Michigan? Probably because he still wants to keep that option open at some later point in his career. Nothing wrong with that. If he wants to go to Michigan at some point, why force him to stay with some outrageous 10 million buyout. He is not a slave to LSU and shouldn't be held in involuntary servitude. But the timing wasn't right this year (or probably for 3 to 4 more years at the very least), but that doesn't mean it won't be in the future. I don't think that Bertman is naive about Les' interest in Michigan, but he probably is correct that Miles will be at LSU for a while.
I don't mind that Miles would like to be at Michigan one day. We knew that Saban wanted to be in the NFL someday too. We knew he wouldn't be at LSU forever and it was simply a question of when he would leave not if. I also know that if Miles wants to keep the Michigan option open for the future he will have to be very successful at LSU and will not become complacent in what he is doing here. So we will have a highly motivated coach for the time that he is here because if he isn't successful here, he won't have an opportunity at Michigan.

I never said belowpar wasn't accurate. I think he has been dead on. I know he didn't know about the Miles conversation and either did Bertman. That's why I made my statement. Bertman has been very confident about Miles and has been cackling over here in our local papers about it. Whatever Skip, your gone by summer anyways so have a good life. Maybe Bill Martin can teach you to sail.
I just think there was more talking than was stated by Miles that's all. Someone in Ann Arbor is leaking shite only when it pertains to Miles. I wonder who and why that could be. BTW, I don't this Miles is leaving.
Hey belowpar if you hear anything about our coaching search please e-mail me at bill.boles@horiba.com
BTW, I like this site a lot there are a bunch of good people here so I hope you don't mind if I hang out.
