good source bro....a michigan fan in montgomery fricking alabama. Did you email this story to the advocate yet?

You're brilliant. I qualified the whole thing and said that it wasn't authoritative at all. Just a conversation.

But, I still think that it was more informed that probably 75% of the blather that gets posted here, so I thought I'd run with it. And, that isn't saying much.

Do with it what you like. I just thought it was interesting to hear a different point of view. I don't talk to Michigan fans everyday.

You forgot

Bowl Game: starts JJ

What I mean by "well connected" is that he seemed like someone who knew what was being said by the Michigan community. Just like I would say that you, BilJ, are well connected to what is being said about LSU.

Man, when did the editorial standards for a post on the Tiger Rant reach such heights? I wasn't trying to pass it off as fact. Just sharing a conversation.

It's been said here repeatedly that no other team would want Miles. Suddenly, that seems to be changing a bit. Thought it was interesting.

a good fan usually keeps his finger on the pulse of a program.

That same pulse we have on our program right now that says Crowton is likely gone this year.

Common sense dictates Miles isnt gone at 7-1, with his only loss coming to the #1 team on the road by 7.

Michigans performance is much worse, and we'd be screaming for Miles' head if we were that bad.

So how do you conclude RR is probably gone from speaking to 1 fan?

As for me, I'm not concluding anything. But, I will watch the Michigan situation more closely than I was. Honestly, I haven't been paying much attention to if Rodriguez was on a short leash or not. Now, I will. After the report last week out of Colorado, I started paying attention to that.

File it in the "For what it's worth" category and we can see if anything comes of it.

The only fact out of this is that I met a Michigan fan today who had a positive view of Miles based on what he had done at LSU and thought he would be a good fit at Michigan. He "said" that others at Michigan felt the same way.

We'll see, I guess, if there is anything to it. If LSU keeps winning, I wouldn't be surprised to see Michigan make a move.

That would be awesome. I don't see it happening though.

who does LSU hire to replace Miles?

one problem at a time..

serously though, 3 mil a year will bring just about anyone you want, save a few names....

I would agree I think RR is gone at season's end. His hire was a head scratcher from the start in my opinion. Miles would do well up there more than likely.

Why doesn't everyone understand LSU will have all of those things when Miles is gone.

I'm not saying that we can't find that. I just get tired of the Miles bashing. He has his flaws and I will be happy to see him go, at this point. But, I don't want my frustration to blind me to the really positive parts about who he is as a coach and a person. You don't have to demonize someone to say that it is time to go a different direction. You can't deny the positives, and if you do, you probably won't like the next guy either.

Personally, i think its a big loss if LSU loses Miles due to all the intagibles he brings to the program.

However, if he refuses to replace Crowton, i think he will eventually do more damage than good, and should probably be fired.

If Miles gets a good OC whos manages the offense in-game, Miles could be one of the best college coaches out there.

He fixed the D. Ill give him the chance to fix the O too.
