Les Miles (My Opinion)

I think there is still a chance Miles goes to Michigan, even though he signed a new deal with LSU. This is my conspiracy theory on the situation.

Has anyone ever thought that Miles is and has always been the favorite all along. Has anyone ever thought that maybe Miles made a deal with Michigan w/o anyone even knowing (a silent agreement). Maybe the deal is that he would be allowed to coach as far as the season played out. Whether LSU would go to the SECCG and BCSNCG or not. I think Michigan has known all along that Miles was their man. He is alumni, he played their, he coached their, and he is respected by alot of people at Michigan. Not to mention he has been very successful at LSU.

I think that Les has made a few comments that also lead me to believe he might end up at Michigan. First, he said he will always be a "Michigan Man", and that he would always root for "That Team." How can you be both of those and coach at another school? I think those statements make it clear that there is some type of interest in Michigan. Another comment he made is that he would never "do anything to hurt this LSU team." I think this all goes back to a possible deal he made with Michigan. He would be allowed to coach out this season no matter how it ended b/c leaving early would hurt the team.

In the end I think that Miles will end up at Michigan. Why, well first off, Michigan is taking their time, and it seems like they are not singling out any one coach. The coaches they are looking at (Ferentz, Kelly, Cameron, Schiano, etc) are either turning them down or they aren't being offered the job anyways. Maybe because Michigan has known all along that Miles was the guy. Second, Miles is and has always been a Michigan man. He has said it more than once, plus who wouldn't want to go back to thier Alma Mater. Third, Michigan really hasn't eliminated Miles name. Somehow or another it always comes up. Yes, the AD said Miles was out, which really could be a cover up anyways. But old players and big time alumni like Miles; and old players and big time alumni have alot of stroke at a school like Michigan, and I think they'll play a big role in getting Miles to Michigan. But the #1 reason, is Miles is and will always be a Michigan Man!
