re: Who actually believes Miles was helping UM??

Like I said....

The only thing that makes me go "hmmmm" about all this is that, apparently, Miles was helping UMich with advice and Skip Bertman/LSU knew nothing about it until it came out in the media.

To me, the much more plausible story is that UM was definitely still pursuing Miles and called him Friday. He was not going to burn a bridge so he talked with them and said he really is staying and then the conversation turned to "providing input" to UM in their coaching search.
