I understand some think..even Cowherd on ESPN- that the Miles to Michigan train isn't completely derailed. I know we have a coaching change board but I just want to explain this....
This is a very crazy situation and it needs to be addressed. When Miles had his press conference in Atlanta before the game, he had NO idea nor in his WILDEST DREAMS did he think LSU would be in the title game..in fact-I still can't take it in. I though OK could beat Missouri but I never thought PITT would beat WV. I truly believe the Miles staying concept is true but until the contract is signed....I won't truly rest. There are 2 things we need to be looking out for however...
1) Carr is going to coach Michigan in their bowl game against Florida. If Michigan drags their feet and don't have a coach named by then....remember Alabama, they dragged their feet for a while and when the NFL season was over...boom!!! If Michigan makes a statement to the effect that they will name a coach after their bowl game to not have distractions.....it will start smelling fishy!!!!
2) If a new defensive coordinator isn't chosen before the NC game.....Miles would not want to hire a DC if he knows he will bolt to Michigan...being able to keep Bo even as a lame duck is perfect for him. He could hire a new DC now and bring him on to help with recruiting and game planning. Now is the time to get them because coaches are scrambling for jobs and the longer one waits.....If he hires a new DC soon, then its less likely he is planning a move.
I don't think there is a plot going on-I think Miles is sincere in his decision. However, if these 2 things start to drag on......we need to start wondering!!!
They say they want his deal done by Thursday....lets see!!!

I don't think #2 means anything.

Contracts mean NOTHING. Miles has a contract now with a buyout for Michigan. Signing a new contract may change the terms, but if someone comes along with enough $$$, it won't matter.

You lost me at Cowterd! The Board of Supervisors meets on Thursday. Talk to me after that concerning what the National Newsmedia knows (which is alot about nothing!)!

if we want miles to stay our coach which i for one do, then we should be able to take him at his word. let's call him a liar when it is proven he lied. miles has been an honest man in all his dealings at LSU as far as we know. there is no reason to believe otherwise. our coach asked us to drop it. let's drop it. i'm wondering if these people that post this stuff really want to keep miles or if they were getting too excited about the prospect of a new coach. he is our coach. he will be our coach. drop it.

Times Picayune article today said Miles new deal is going to be put off until after the title game becuase LSU wins he will get a better deal. Bertman said this is just becuase they got in the title game and Miles has told him he is going to stay the LSU coach.

Means nothing. If Tenuta is Miles' man, he'll have to wait until Tenuta finishes coaching Ga. Tech as interim HC in their bowl game.

Michigan A.D. comments
“This morning I did speak with Les’ agent and he reaffirmed what Les said during his press conference yesterday — that he was staying at LSU.
“We wish Les and the LSU Athletic Department the best of luck in the future,” Martin said. “As for Michigan, we are continuing with the process we established and will continue to talk with and research our list of candidates.”
You think this still leaves open the door? Sounds to me like they're moving on...

In that case, you won't rest until at least January 8th for him to sign it. Why sign a contract and then have to sign a new one after the NC game, if we win. If he were to sign this one now, it will be rewritten after the NC Game, if we win.
Even if he signed this one it wouldn't mean he was or wasn't going to sign with Michigan on January 8th or thereafter.
I believe the man when he says he is Absolutely going to coach LSU next season.

most contracts don't need to be written... in fact most are verbal.
