Writer from bayoubengalsinsider.com that attended postgame press conference on Miles says up front, it's not about me, it's about the players, and he's had no contact with Michigan. Other questions on Michigan shot down by Miles.

LSU officials' reactions to Miles-to-Michigan reports - "shock"

Hanagriff - "things happen quickly and they change course. We fully expect Michigan to contact Miles by Saturday AM if not tonight."

"everyone wants to be first and have the big scoop" - all they can say is what they know he told the team based on what the players said, and what they've heard from LSU officials. LSU fully expects Michigan to come to Miles tomorrow, but nothing done tonight based on what they know.

It sounds like Miles has really not had any contact with UM but everyone expects one they make contact he will go.

I think this is some what true except somehow Michigan knows not to contact Miles while his LSU team has a game to play.

Hmmmmmmm how would they know that

Hanagriff says two things in play:

1. Contract renegotiation coming up, including rollover
2. Miles has great affection for Michigan and doesn't want to embarrass them. Here he'd rather Michigan go out and hire a coach and not have to have him publicly spurn them.

Of course, Michigan may come here tomorrow and make him an offer he can't refuse.

Rush - "if he comes out and spurns Michigan, he loses leverage in the contract renegotiation.

Look at signs in this whole thing - Chavis stays after Texas went after him hard. Don't think Chavis didn't ask Miles what his intentions were.

Of course, Les could have told him he'd take him with him to Michigan."

Hanagriff - "Miles could have been evasive tonight with the team, but wasn't."

Gordy - Kleinpeter from Times-Pic quotes Jordan Jefferson as saying Miles is staying and not going to Michigan.

LSU official is reporting Miles has not been contacted and wasn't going to talk about the Michigan thing tonight because he didn't want to take anything away from the win tonight.

Joe Barksdale on the phone...

Barksdale - nothing said tonight about Michigan, but told the team last night and this morning and said he was staying and not going to Michigan.

Gordy - what about other reports?

Barksdale - big locker room, I was maybe on the other side of the locker room when he told them

KS - can you see him walking away from all this talent that will be here next year?

Miles said rumors were just rumors, that he hasn't talked to anyone with Michigan, and that he's the LSU coach.
