This thread - like all Michigan threads on this board - is an odd mix of three types of people:

1) Michigan fans who want Harbaugh very much and, while they hope they don't have to, will settle for Miles if he's the guy
2) LSU fans who are working hard to try to convince someone (themselves, perhaps) that Michigan isn't getting Harbaugh and that Les is the guy (it appears this groups actually wants Les to leave LSU)
3) LSU fans who are working hard to try to convince someone (themselves, perhaps) that there is no way Miles is the guy for the Michigan job b/c Les doesn't want it.

It is fascinating to watch those three types of people battle back and forth. All hoping for different things. All convinced they'll get what they are hoping for. None knowing anything for sure.

This is way, way off.

I don't think LSU fans are working hard to convince people that Michigan isn't getting Harbaugh. I think just about everyone out there in the world is already convinced of this.

I do think it's interesting that much of this board despises Les, but there seems to be a circle the wagons mentality now that he could be gone and that somehow Michigan wouldn't deserve him.

I'm not even sure I want Harbaugh because I don't see him in Ann Arbor for more than like four years and I don't know if even he can stabilize things that quickly without a decent QB on the roster. I'm also not a big Les guy, because I think he is Hoke with better experience, but I would rather they have tried to lock things up quickly with him if Harbaugh is that much in doubt. I really would have just opened up the vault for a guy like Mullen, assuming he had any interest.

Oh, and since it was lost in the shuffle over the weekend, my X-mas party gossip from a guy was that he ran into Paul Jokisch the day before (Jokisch supposedly roomed with Harbaugh at Michigan), and Jokisch said they had all these home runs lined up, but that Harbaugh was most likely.
