Columbus....go south until you smell it, then go east until you step in it....

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 t...
They sent someone to the airport but they didn't see Brandon. Detroit News did see him: "Yeah, Hawaii was great"...
[quote]I think the part about speaking to the team is most important to Miles.[/quote] 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....
[quote]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...
[quote]And what makes you think that Les will find someone that will be a spread guy?[/quote] I don't. But, haven't heard Loeffler tied to him like I have to Hoke. So, perhaps wishful thinking....
[quote]What's the apparent knock on Hoke that seems to be the problem?[/quote] 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 difficu...
[quote]I know Hoke was passed on by Minnesota, but wasn't he passed on by someone else too (Indiana??) [/quote] My understanding was Hoke chose not to interview at Minnesota/Indiana....
[quote]-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...[/quote] Actually, Balas (in answering a poster question) said that his gut wasn't because he thought Les would say n...
[quote]No clue who the UM AD wants, however every UM fan board has the large majority demanding Hoke.[/quote] Which Michigan boards are you looking at? That is most certainly not the case....
[quote]I really don't Lloyd Carr has anything to do with this search...[/quote] 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 ...
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....
[quote]someone out there with a tigerbait confirm that scike posted Miles to stay as of 6PM? This was posted on thewolverine.com [/quote] 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 ca...
[quote]So what's your feeling on it?[/quote] 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 ...
[quote]I just want something concrete one way or the other soon. I'm sure um fans feel the same.[/quote] Absolutely. Last week was very unproductive....
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....
