Players think Miles is gone

I talked to a few of my sources that have kept me in the loop throughout the entire Ridley situation (and turned out to be correct), and they feel that Miles is gone this time.
Paraphrasing, but the general consensus is that in 2008, Miles was adamant with the players that he was staying put and vehemently denied all of the reports behind closed doors. Fastforward to 2011 and Miles has been much more melancholy about the entire situation. Although he is trying to keep the team focused on the A&M game, he has not been as steadfast as he was in 2008. Take it for what its worth, but the portion of players to which I am privileged enough to have access believe Miles will be taking the Michigan job on Saturday at the earliest, but probably some time around Wednesday.
Granted, they do not have access to the actual specifics of the situation, but this is the feeling that they have regarding Miles' future at LSU. Also, they are not neccessarily upset about the potential move. They believe they will win a NC next year with or without Miles, although they would appreciate the continuity.

I don't know whats going to happen....but these are two completely different situations. If they're basing their opinion on what happened in '07 they are making a mistake.

Interesting
You proved to have good sources, so we shall see

believe it when I see it. Players are closer than most, but they're not likely to have the best insight on this; they never are.

We were contending for a MNC that time, he had to keep them more focused than A&M.

But according to Belowpar he is interviewing OC candidates.
Why would he care who LSU's OC was if he was planning on accepting the Michigan job on Saturday?
I'm not saying you are wrong. I am just saying this info doesn't jibe with what belowpar said.

Odds at winning a NC are higher if Miles leaves. Nothing to do with Miles as it has to do with teams in the BCS era that recently change coaches win NC with the one exception being Mack Brown at Texas.

Could be some truth there. If he truly wanted to end the Michigan discussion, Les could have a "Great Day"-type presser and emphatically say that he is not going anywhere. The fact that he hasn't makes me think he would def talk to Michigan if approached.

If so, hopefully Miles has informed Alleva so either the pot is sweetened or they have a few days to start recruiting Miles replacement before he leaves.
Miles will either leave or use this opportunity to extend his contract.

Miles stayed in 2007 because a national title on the line, that was probably the only reason he stayed.

Best case scenario is we beat A&M then Miles takes Michigan job and takes Crowton's arse with him! We get a great off minded coach cause Chavis turns down Texas or if he leaves Peleni comes back! Then next year we laugh at how stupid Miles is and at Michigan for wanting him so bad! Prob never happen but wouldn't it be great!

My guess is that Miles thinks so too and Miles is presently interviewing OC's. Miles will stay and lead LSU to another BCS national championship.
