there aren't conditions about keeping staff onboard -- last spring, when he knew he was retiring after the season, lloyd negotiated 2 year deals for all his assistants. historically UM has one year deals w/their coaches that roll over each year. the 2 year deals were put in place so lloyd's assistants would be paid when he left, whether a new coach wanted them or not -- that's why he has a rep has a stand up guy.

with the huge revenues UM sports generate (soon to go up w/stadium renovations to include luxury boxes) those salaries are absolutely NO impediment to replacing any and all of them should the new coach choose. which, btw, he will certainly do in the case of S&C coach, offensive line coach (gary moeller's son) and OC Mike DeBord.
who says the good old boys have f'ed anything up? after all, les was the one lobbying for the job all year -- and we were willing to wait til LSU had their shot at the SEC to talk to him. wouldn't you want to actually interview someone you're offering several million dollars to?

and if since he's only a top 15 coach, we're better off without him then, too (per your logic)
and people say we're arrogant...of course LSU would get a Top 5 coach and Michigan sucks, eh?
oh, btw...he quit on the Spartans too -- fleeing to Baton Rouge in the middle of the night (same pattern of denials he exhibited at Miami)
