Rich Rod fired!

Les Miles would be a fool to leave LSU for Michigan. LSU is absolutely loaded, he will never have the talent at Michigan that he currently has and will have at LSU.

Cool,
LSU is talented, but if this is the best they get .... doesn't matter.

If you mean the best they get is Miles, you make a good point.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Jimbo, they're being very tight lipped there in Ann Arbor. Miles, Hoke, and host of other names have been speculated on. Me? I say go after the guy at TCU. He did beat Wisconsin. Young and talented.

...Me? I say go after the guy at TCU. He did beat Wisconsin. Young and talented.

Have they even mentioned this guy? He might be a good fit in Baton Rouge if Miles gets asked and decides to go home to Ann Arbor.

 

[Jimbo]

I think I heard Stanford was talking to (or wanting to) talk to Boise States coach ...

I CAN'T see TCU allowing anyone to talk to thier coach seeing they are moving to the Big East, they probably want things intact when they get there.

LSU coach Les Miles confirmed Monday he will meet with Michigan about the coaching vacancy.

The Detroit News reported Sunday night that Miles and Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon are expected to meet Tuesday, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Here's another link from ESPN: Michigan Wolverines, Les Miles expected to meet about opening - ESPN

Miles says he cannot speculate about the substance of such a meeting and also says he is "extremely happy" at LSU and that his family is comfortable living in Baton Rouge.

Looks like he's taking a page right out of little Nicky's book.

The LSU board is all afluster with gossip about this ( Discuss College Football Coaching Changes - TigerDroppings.com ). They've even tracked planes through FlightAware to Baton Rouge that had their origin in Michigan. A lot of BS flying around. Personally, I don't care either way what happens, as long as LSU winds up with a quality coach that can do something with the talent the program has amassed over the last few years. I think Miles is a good coach, although he's shown his shortcomings at times. But if he goes, it will be interesting to see who might come to Baton Rouge to fill his spot with all that talent down there waiting for them.

If Michigan is smart, the first question they should ask Miles in his interview tomorrow is, "If there are 35 seconds left in the game, how many seconds are there left in the game?"

:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap


I am wondering if he really is interested or is looking for something from LSU?

Looks like interest was lost by someone.

Les Miles to remain coach at LSU - ESPN

Glad he stayed. Like Randy Newman said, "He may be a fool...but he's our fool." Next year should be fun.

Thats too bad, he is a good coach with michigian ties and I think he would have been a good fit with some of the pieces they have on offense. Its good though that he did not take way to much time

Mr. Hoke next??

 

[satjay]

Looks like it will be Mr. Hoke?

The Domino's Pizza plane that Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon took Monday night from Baton Rouge, La., to Willow Run Airport took off again at 1:09 this afternoon.

Wow...that was fast

A release from the University of Michigan:


University of Michigan Athletic Director Dave Brandon announced today (Tuesday, Jan. 11) the hiring of Brady Hoke as the 19th coach in the 131-year history of Michigan football. Hoke arrives in Ann Arbor after spending the past eight seasons as a head coach at Ball State (2003-08) and San Diego State (2009-10).

[mdonnelly]

That was quick. The San Diego paper still shows Hoke's agent being in discussions, and the Domino's plane on the way to Orange County with the Michigan AD. I hope it turns out well for Michigan. Lots of relatives on my mother's side went there. They really need to get competitive again with Ohio State and Michigan State.

 

[Mike0616]

Sounds like the kind of guy they should have hired when they got DickWeed. Now maybe they can repair the damage and get back to being competitive in the Big10. Congrats to UM!
