If you or anyone can give me facts that Coach Miles has done something wrong, then I'm listening...

-Coach talked to Michigan on Friday---So what... it was simply a courtesy call
-There is NO deal going on with Michigan
-Coach has come out and said he is LSU's Coach
-There is NO talk between Michigan and Miles or his representatives about him being a candidate
-There has been NO evidence that even Michigan wants Miles


OTL just had a great report...

There is smoke but NO FLAMES

Belowpar,

You have been impeccable to date, but I just highly doubt a phone call with the university president was simply a courtesy call.

i think a lot of responsibility falls on Miles' shoulders here.

'I REPRESENT ME, PLEASE ASK ME.'

it is pretty simple: if there is nothing going on, then end the speculation and get ready for the damn National Championship

thatdude...

Show me something that he's not...Is a 5 minute courtesy call keeping him from the Natl Champ?

He is not working on a deal, he has not talked to Michigan again...

He is GREAT incentive to win this game plain and simple...He isn't doing anything wrong.

All Michigan has said...Which is a FACT....

"Coach Miles is in our pool of candidates"

Never was it said, We want him...What can we do to get him...

If you ask alum/ex players...They want Miles to Michigan badly...

If they wanted Miles so bad, why did they give a job offer to Schiano?

Exactly......I put myself in the situation....I've actually been where Miles is now in a sense.

I had a internship with Company A, and I had begun working there. I also had spoken with Company B but they didn't offer me a job right away.....and later did. I told them no thanks. They then contacted me to ask my thoughts on some other people they were interviewin since I had worked with them in my masters program.

I personally think the same thing is going on here and the media is just blowing it up b/c he spoke with UM.

all im saying is, the whole phone call fiasco is certainly going to stir up rumors, and he should realize that and recognize that people will run with those rumors (ESPN).

So do you have a link to a Michigan representative saying, "We want Les Miles to be our coach next year"?

Because it is pretty much total bullshite to call him on that without SOMETHING concrete to back you up. And by concrete, I mean more credible than "well, EVERYBODY knows" or "THEY say" or "ESPN reports."

If you people think Miles talking with UM is not a big deal, then you are extremely naive.

Come on, after all that went down, what did you expect the media to do when they found out Miles spoke with UM?

Miles created this most recent public relations drama by talking to UM.

Can he talk with UM? YOu bet, but don't be shocked to get egg on your face when you do.

The gossip hounds were just waiting for Mile to make a foolish move like this.

After all the drama surrounding UM-LSU-Miles, Miles must have enough sense to know that if he keeps talking to UM, then the field is wide open for critism.

Is this fair? Not about fair. It just is.

Everytime MIles talks to UM anytime in the future, stuff like this is going to happen. Wish it wouldn't, but it will. That's why, expecially right now, if the man doesn't want any drama, he needs to quit talking to UM.

You know besides the VT game and perhaps the TENN game did we ever enjoy a win this year. After every win there was a big "but" around it. I remember after the Miss State game after we shut them out the whole aura around here was like a funeral home. It would be nice to enjoy wins again
