Not a whole lot we didn't already know


I don't necessarily agree with that. There is a lot of sourced information about the amount of contact between the two sides and about how far the talks have progressed. That's been the subject of a lot of the debate on here.

These two snippets make me a little sad:

quote:

Miles and Martin have been in contact through intermediaries

quote:

Miles, who spoke for about 20 minutes at the Georgia Dome, said he told his team that he had not been contacted by U-M yet.

You kind of expect coaches in the middle of job changes to parse words like that with the press. But I would hope they wouldn't do it with their teams.

I hear what you're saying...
But let's be realistic, do you really think he had any other choice.

How do you tell 100+ (18-22 year olds) "anything" and expect it to stay in the room. It's not possible!

Assuming Miles had an "interest" in the UM job all along (which you really can't fault the man for), how could he possibly have handled the situation any better.
I agree it's been a major distraction, but that's the nature of the business.

Would you rather him pull a Saban, Try and embarrass some reporter just trying to do their job, claim..."I will NOT be the next HC at Michigan"...and then take the job a week later?
