Anyone know the tail number? I saw this linked on a twitter from Jennifer Hammonds twitter.

Sure this is the plane they are talking about?

I'm curious why they would tag this as Brandon's because he used to work for Dominos? I don't think he would have free reign to use it unless Dominos is a boost to UM.

That's what I got from another thread. Considering Brandon use to be the Dominos CEO and it's a Michigan company, he probably doesn't have to beg too much to use the jet.

True,that would fit the description of the plane going to Dallas, just wasn't sure if there was another one.

Is Miles still in Dallas? Didn't the team's plane get back already?

I was going to ask the same thing...did Miles go back with the team?

Miles is not set to speak at the convention until Tuesday, so I have to imagine he went back to Baton Rouge.

The key is this. The plane left from Scottsdale AZ. Prior to that, it hasn't been in or near Michigan in a few (3) days. Did Brandon fly to Scottsdale and get on it? Maybe...but this plane being in Dallas is not necessarily an indication of anything whatsoever to do with Michigan's coaching search.

N220DF is the tail number. Stalk away.

If you look at the flight log, assuming he actually is on that plane, then like 3 days ago.

Post on Scout from another random saying they have a source as well that Miles is in talks with UofM and it's almost a done deal.
Heres the text of it:
"I can tell you guys I just spoke to a friend of mine who used to be strong in Michigan sports media........is now in different market, but still has lots of contacts in Michigan...finally caught up with him after a week of reaching out to him.

1.) N220DF is definately Dave Brandon's Plane and is in Texas
2.) Les Miles is the #1 guy and ONLY focus...they want him at Hoops Game Sunday afternoon
3.) Miles agent is based in Dallas.
4.) Money is the hold up...asking price is 5 - 6 million base, plus incentives, coaches show /TV, etc. Total package 7 - 8 million
5.) Brandon is rallying boosters to come up with money
6.) Still 50 / 50 at best Miles wife will leave LA....main reason Harbaugh stayed in Bay area as well.
7.) Brandon wants to make a splash with this.
8.) Brady Hoke is ready to go if they can't get Miles done in next 24 - 48 hours"

and a link to it 13 posts down the first page. LINK

Well, Stephen Ross the Miami owner is one of our biggest donors, plus we have several other big boosters like that. I don't really think it would be a problem.

Plus if you are to believe we offered Harbaugh 5 mil then ya.

So is Miles to Michigan pretty much a done deal?
