Les Myles, HC at LSU and former Michigan man who has an out in his contract with LSU if Michigan comes a-calling (what say ye sigmaceli and AOII Angel?)

Brady Hoke (no sure if I got that right), HC at SDSU, also a former Michigan man who supposedly considers Michigan HC to be a dream job.

Talking heads are disagreeing as to what type of coach/offense would work best to get Michigan back to its glory days.

Bottom line, whoever comes in has to be able to recruit in the midwest and beat OSU, PSU, MSU, and not so much anymore, ND for the top recruits. They have not been able to do much of that lately.

And Forever Roses, I wasn't able to go to sleep for a couple of hours after the game last night-too wound up, and with a stomachache to boot!

I would hope they look at Les Miles. He fits in much better with the Big 10 than he does the SEC. And, he is originally from Northern Ohio, so he knows what Michigan alums want.

Well, there was a big firestorm about this when they took Rich Rod. Les SWORE that he had no intention of leaving LSU for Michigan since he had just won the National Championship with the Tigers. The shine has worn off the relationship since then between Les and a lot of LSU fans. I still love Les and his grass eating ways, but I know there would be a lot of LSU fans who would love to see him go (we have some fickle folks who boo'd through half the season when we were 7-0! Go figure!) Anyway, he's a great coach...I wouldn't blame them for approaching him, and after this year, I wouldn't blame him for seriously thinking about it. Don't look for him to comment before the Cotton Bowl, though. Geaux Tigers!!! Can't wait for Friday!!!

I heard on the radio today that he is meeting with Michigan tomorrow This article says "possibly as soon as Tuesday", but the radio report I heard specifically said Tuesday.

I knew not to believe anything until you hear it from the horses mouth, especially after the last time! It kept annoying me that ESPN was practically putting him on the plane to Michigan last night. I guess they wanted to report something even if it was made up. Yay, I LOVE Coach Miles!! Anyway, he did say the grass tastes best in Tiger Stadium!

He met with the folks from Michigan last night, so ESPN was right about that.

Yeah, he did, but that didn't mean he was taking the job like they said. I bet he met with them since it was his alma mater. I also suspect he gave them tips about who he thought would be good for the job. Les told his players that afternoon that he wasn't leaving. He's not been known in the past to be a liar, so I didn't think he'd blantantly tell them a lie in this situation.
