Absolutely. Thanks for the hospitality. Will definitely check back in from time to time to see what's up at LSU.

"no resolution, as some have already begun tweeting. Athletic Director David Brandon and LSU head coach Les Miles did meet in Baton Rouge tonight, with Brandon returning to Willow Run airport in Ypsilanti just before 11:00 p.m. Sources tell us there was no deal made one way or the other, so expect this to drag on for at least another day. Miles is set to address the AFCA with a speech in Dallas tomorrow. There is a team meeting scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at Schembechler Hall."

They sent someone to the airport but they didn't see Brandon.
Detroit News did see him: "Yeah, Hawaii was great"

I think the part about speaking to the team is most important to Miles.
I thought people said that LSU is still in winter break and thus the team isn't on campus. Is that not the case?

There is a team meeting tomorrow. Brandon needs to be in A2 for that. Perhaps talks will continue tomorrow?

This theory is out there on Michigan boards too.

After LSU, I root hardest for Michigan, and I think you have to look beyond what fits the current roster (which is nothing to write home about regardless of scheme) and get the coaching staff that will bring Michigan back to Big 10+ relevance within about 3-4 years. The short term is going to be rough regardless.
The better Michigan does next year, the easier the transition will go. Revamping the entire system like Rodriguez did makes everything exponentially harder. Not to mention brings into question attrition by all 3 scholarship QBs.
We are still talking about a 7 win team that returns 20 of 22 starters.

And what makes you think that Les will find someone that will be a spread guy?
I don't. But, haven't heard Loeffler tied to him like I have to Hoke. So, perhaps wishful thinking.

What's the apparent knock on Hoke that seems to be the problem?
My biggest concern is that I think he'd hire Scot Loeffler as his OC. Don't get me wrong, I like Scot. But, he's a pro style guy. And that doesn't fit the current roster. Thus making a tough transition more difficult.

I know Hoke was passed on by Minnesota, but wasn't he passed on by someone else too (Indiana??)
My understanding was Hoke chose not to interview at Minnesota/Indiana.

-Balas knows Les is going to turn them down.
-Les meets with Michigan to say thanks but no thanks as well as use leverage for a better deal at LSU.
-Hoke next candidate...
Actually, Balas (in answering a poster question) said that his gut wasn't because he thought Les would say no.

No clue who the UM AD wants, however every UM fan board has the large majority demanding Hoke.
Which Michigan boards are you looking at? That is most certainly not the case.

I really don't Lloyd Carr has anything to do with this search...
It is widely speculated in the Michigan community that Carr doesn't like Miles. Carr's opinion matters to some high ranking officials. So, I think Carr can be involved insomuch as to mend that fence. That would go a long way to getting Miles an appropriate offer and giving Miles the best chance at success after the fact.

The post times in his profile (and everyones for that matter) are screwy. Click on the post and the time there will be accurate.

The Balas post was at 6:07. Just after the 6:00 update from Tiger Bait.

someone out there with a tigerbait confirm that scike posted Miles to stay as of 6PM? This was posted on thewolverine.com
Balas had a post about it:
"They think (hope) based on what they're hearing from their sources that they're putting a package to keep him and think they can get him to stay if Michigan offers."

So what's your feeling on it?
Part of me thinks that if UM went public that they want to interview Miles then it has to be close to a done deal. They wouldn't want to be publicly turned down after Harbaugh (& Pat Fitzgerald even though it is unknown if UM had interest).
On the other hand, I thought Harbaugh was near a done deal too. So, who the hell knows.

The staff at The Wolverine are good with solid sources. The issue here is that Dave Brandon is on lock down right now. So, they only have a fraction of the info.
re: Michigan spokesman: No Miles interview today
Posted by TheCommish on 1/9/11 at 5:31 pm to Catahoula
Clarification via rivals...the athletic dept isn't giving any interviews to the media today. Not that Brandon didn't conduct interviews (not that there is confirmation that there were any today).
