Can he leave Cam Cameron behind?
November 30th, 2014 at 2:27 PM ^
disqualifier for Miles. At 61 if he has his health 10 years at UM is not a stretch. Lot's of people are working at a high performance level, some running highly complex organizations well into their 70s.

I would prefer Mullen to Miles as the #2 choice, but would be happy to have Miles. He would bring some energy, recruit his ass off and get us back on track.
I like Mullen's offense a lot. The fact that he is a Meyer disciple make me want him even more sadly. I was so impressed with what OSU did with Barrett this year. I think the offense is very QB friendly. The spread those guys run is really lethal. Like I said though, I would be ecstatic with Miles.

November 30th, 2014 at 3:51 PM ^
and Mullen made LSU look abysmal, what is your point?
November 30th, 2014 at 3:55 PM ^
for HC at Michigan. Miles has several excellent seasons at LSU(mixed in with good ones).
November 30th, 2014 at 5:21 PM ^
so you didn't want Jim Harbaugh in 2011?

Rivalry games are always weird. I honestly thought Mullen was a viable candidate 3 years ago when Rich Rod was let go. That MSU team won 9 games and totally embarrassed us. There aren't many worse jobs than MSU in the SEC (Vanderbilt and Kentucky) and he has been quite successful. He is could be the next Urban Meyer which may make him more or less viable as a candidate in the boards eyes. I would kill to have Meyer as a head coach personally despite the fact I'm sure it isn't a popular opinion.
November 30th, 2014 at 2:36 PM ^
Harbaugh and Miles are #1 and #2 for the fans, that's what worries me. The flashy hire to appease the fans could backfire. I would hope that our AD knows a heck of a lot more than the fans and can find a coach that will rebuild the program and stay for a decade or more.

Too much focus just on the head coach. What coordinators will he bring? What style of offense? He won't be able to recruit like he did when he owned one of the best states in the country - La, so what will be the impact of that?
Either way, it'd be a big time name and a proven coach which would of course be an upgrade over this nice guy disaster we're done with now.
November 30th, 2014 at 3:29 PM ^
in the form of Ohio and Pennslyvania. You also neglected to mention that he did just fine at Okie State--located in a state with not a lot of football talent.
He isn't the home run that Harbaugh is, but he is at least a double. That's better than the striking out--while-being-beaned coach we have now.

I hope Miles comes back but am also suspicious he parlays it, yet again, for a raise at LSU like the prior 2 searches or maybe his visit up here last summer with his QB kid is a good omen. The crystal ball is very cloudy.

I don't know how to do links (too old) but the article was in Maxpreps.com on 10/3/14 that his QB son's #1 choice would be UM after their visit and camp.

Les Miles would be a big improvement, as would Harbaugh, as would Pelini, as would my grandma, who's been dead for 41 years.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:25 PM ^
In fairness though, Grandma BlueHills was a hell of a coach.

There are distinct schools regarding Les among the LSU faithful, as evidenced by the thread at TigerDroppings regarding that tweet - LINK TO THREAD
Long story short, at least among fans, you have this contigent that wouldn't mind if he took the Michigan job when available, another group that thinks this group is nuts, and a small minority that seems to be more focused on specific staff changes.

He tweeted the same thing last year. This tweet in and of itself means nothing.

No shit. That's why I said "in and of itself." The text was basically the same. The question now is if there is something in addition, underneath, this tweet that is different. But the fact that he tweeted that tweet, given that he tweeted the same thing last year, is meaningless without more context on his part.

no, you're reading too much into it. He tweets it out every time we play OSU. It's not a thing. If you want to read anything it, read the idea that he wants to keep LSU on their toes so he can wring more money from them when our job is open.
Les' agent is notorious for seeding articles suggesting he'd take any job. Arkansas a few years ago, Washington years before that, and that he'd never say no to Michigan. He's got good representation.
