What would be Harbaugh's obligation to the new team if he is traded? Couldn't he still walk?
They probably would not trade him without an extension and buyout clause.

Not sure if it's been mentioned in this thread (i.e., no time right now to scan 8 pages), but Brian over at mgoblog--arguably one of the best UM sites around--has a thought on Miles.

ON LES MILES. That story also has a bit on Les Miles. It is correct that there's a great divide in the program alumni about Miles, but it also asserts that Michigan would avoid him because of the chance they get turned down humiliatingly. That would not happen. If Miles is offered the job he would come.
Personally, I'm not enthralled with a 61-year-old who's been the subject of an OTL episode about cutting players, coming off a meh year and possibly the downside. But he'd come. Assertions to the contrary are from the camp that doesn't like Miles because of the way he and Carr have butted heads over the years.

That's twice you've been sniffed out.

The big money boosters agree to back the contract of the head football coach, so they have a big say so about who is hired.

If this is the worst he can say about Miles, that's not too bad.

You hearing Lloyd Carr does NOT want Les Miles?

That's a revelation.

Especially considering he said this about Hoke:
quote:
"This is not Brady Hoke's fault." Repeat 1000x. This is not Brady Hoke's fault. He seems like a nice enough dude. It seems unlikely he actively participated in the submarining of Rich Rodriguez. Unlike everyone else ever associated with the Michigan program with even the most thinly plausible of resumes, he actually wants to be the head coach here. So that's nice.
This is a stupid hire. It will always be as stupid hire and David Brandon just led the worst coaching search in the history of Michigan football. He managed to chase off half of an already iffy recruiting class, hired a Plan C coach on January 11th, probably ensured the transfer of the reigning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, and restricted his "national search" to people who'd spent at least five years in Ann Arbor. Michigan just gave themselves a year of USC-level scholarship reduction voluntarily.
What are the chances that the best available coach is a 52-year-old with a 47-50 career record and no experience as a coordinator? Why weren't a half-dozen coordinators with time and results on their side given the opportunity to interview? Why did Brandon waste time with Les Miles, a guy on the downside who may not have even gotten a serious offer? After learning a hard lesson about program continuity with the last hire why did Michigan hire a guy who professes to hate the spread 'n' shred a day after two spread teams played for the national title?
I'd rather have Rich Rodriguez entering year four with a new defensive staff than this, a total capitulation. Does anyone remember Tressel's record against Lloyd Carr? 5-1. Change was necessary. It didn't work, but that doesn't mean you go back to the stuff that required change.

Why does Lloyd Carr carry so much weight?

Because Michigan still lives in the dark ages.

Because it just makes good business sense to let the guy you ran out of town for being out of touch and the game passing him by have minimally bridled power over the future direction of your athletic department.

He's got his power base in the athletic dept. The benevolent dictator, so to speak. If they let him get involved in the hiring process again, it will be another 4 yr shite show.

He doesn't like Miles personally? or just thinks he is an average coach? Seems like Miles would be a good fit up there with the Bo crowd.

It's personal

The anti-Les sentiment has nothing to do with Les potentially embarrassing the program. That's absurd. The problem is the old Lloyd Carr loyalists. Carr isn't a Les fan. It's personal and it's asinine. But it's there.
