re: Why Miles Would Be the Only Logical Choice for Michigan

The thing with Michigan alumni is they get mad easily and they don't forget. I wouldn't say never, but I highly doubt Harbaugh would ever be asked to be head coach at Michigan. He's burnt basically every bridge between here and Palo Alto with this university, not only pissing off alumni and former players, but administration here too.
Would I mind? Probably not as long as we start winning again and are no longer the joke of the Big 10, but I would prefer Miles and I think if we timed it right he would come home. From what I have heard of last time, Miles was going to come, he was our first choice, but thanks to big mouth Kirk who jumped the gun, he put Miles in an awful position. You guys are a better conference than the Big 10, I won't deny that, but he's always made it known Michigan is his dream job. What better way to finish your career than to say you were called home to save the football program you once played for.

I realize that. He's a great coach and he's done a tremendous job at Stanford, but I don't think anyone here wants him. Not unless he got on his knees, crawled across glass, and apologized profusely for what he said, which won't happen. I just never say never because when I do it always comes back to bite me in the arse.

I think the school realizes we need someone that is a good combination of both. Someone that is fiery and yet at the same time understands what Michigan is all about. RR is a good offensive coach, but it's clear he lacks an understanding of this program. And that defense wins it here in the Big 10, not running up the score. I'm interested to see how this all plays out after tomorrow.

i think rich rod is 1 good DC away from 8-9 wins

remember he's got a true freshman QB and the offense is humming

Isn't Greg Robinson his DC?

Was he considered for our DC opening? Or was that the Rant speculating?

Oh ok ...

I was just imagining Robinson as our DC. If that was the case, Miles' would surely be on his way out.

UM2007 is basically confirming everything that I said in my first post. IF Michigan gets rid of RR, they go after Miles and he is gone this time. Why would he stay with an ungrateful, spoiled fanbase who constantly complains about him when he could go home and resurrect Michigan football. I don't see him saying no. He is in his late 50's and the chance that he thought he lost would come around again. How could he refuse? Michigan wouldn't pass either.
