Northwestern Coach turns down UM

Smoke and mirrors my friend. This is all diversionary tactics to lure in Miles. UM blew it big time in 07 with Miles and the media frenzy that erupted. This time they are doing it right and setting up a Media disinformation cloud around the job. Dont look for the rabbit in what they show you, the real rabbit is still in the HAT!

Oyster, I'm afraid I must agree with you. I don't want to, but I must.

My first thought was that since Miles wasn't their first contact, he's not on their radar at all.

But it makes too much sense that an easily denied "unofficial" contact has already been made, a deal in principle is already done, and that the Fitzgerald mention in the DFP is indeed a smokescreen.

UM will get it exactly right this time.

to make it look like you're searching, offer the job to people they know will turn it down

may as well offer saban, tressell, sean payton, etc
