Are they not speaking about the planes in BR? Have they mentioned the possibility of a team meeting tomorrow in the PM?

If thats true, its pretty annoying that the one coach that has a proven record in the SEC, who actually has ties to the school, who at one point at least wanted to coach here, and gives us the best chance to turn this around seems to keep getting pushed further down the list as a choice.

The Michigan Rivals page is not the most trustworthy of sites, but then again, as odd as this search has been, that is most understandable.

Exactly. He can keep doing what he does at Mizzo without any real pressure to do what is expected at Michigan. Pretty smart move to stay put.

That is what it sounds like. They're going to have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get Miles from LSU. Probably a record deal.
