Please let this be so.
It is the only the way the Miles To Michigan talk will stop.
I also wonder if the "experts" and "Miles Bashers" will apologize to coach Miles and LSU for all the criticism the last few days.

would be the best hire out there for them at the moment and would finally return WVU to irrelevancy where they belong

Does RR think Bama is the biggest shite-hole on the planet? I guess the tradition of UM trumps Bama's.

SN exclusive: WVU's Rodriguez, Michigan meet

Posted: December 14, 2007

Sporting News staff reports

There's a new twist in Michigan's ongoing search for a head coach: University officials are meeting with West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez, according to Sporting News Radio correspondent Michael Bradley.

Rodriguez and his agent are in Toledo today to negotiate with Michigan athletic director Bill Martin and university president Mary Sue Coleman.

Michigan has been looking for a head coach since Lloyd Carr announced his retirement Nov. 19 after 13 seasons leading the program.

It was assumed LSU coach Les Miles was Michigan's top target. But Miles denied he was going to Michigan at a press conference before the SEC championship game, and signed an extension to stay at LSU. He also issued a statement earlier this week saying he as not a candidate for the Michigan job.

Greg Schiano was contacted about the job last week but decided to stay at Rutgers.

Rodriguez has been head coach at West Virginia since 2001. He has a 60-26 record with the Mountaineers, who face Oklahoma next month in the Fiesta Bowl.

I am amazed that Michigan is willing to pay up the $$$ it'll take to get RR. Maybe they have to after they let Les slip through their wolverine claws.

Rick Rod better bolt from WV before White/Slaton leave or he'll be screwed.

Not sure if it would be a good move for Rich or not but it will be interesting to see if he does take the job, if offered.

It was hilarious yesterday when the whole Mitchell report broke. On the radio, Trico was talking to Herbstreit and said we shouldn't release any of the names until we can absolutely confirm who's on the list and Herbstreit said absolutely I agree 100%.
