God I wish we could hit the reset button to 2007.
November 30th, 2014 at 1:46 PM ^
Or even 2003, when it was rumored that Lloyd Carr wanted to retire, but Bill Martin talked him into staying...
November 30th, 2014 at 1:50 PM ^
That was after the 2006 season.
November 30th, 2014 at 2:38 PM ^
It was also after 2003. Which makes you wonder why Sailboat Bill was so caught off guard by the 2007 retirement.
November 30th, 2014 at 3:43 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 3:48 PM ^
already?
November 30th, 2014 at 4:35 PM ^
so there probably wouldn't have been the petty squabbles that ensued in 2007.
December 1st, 2014 at 8:23 AM ^
This hits upon a good point that never gets discussed much when folks talk about Carr's succession. Lloyd had mentioned retiring as early as after the 2003 season and it was Martin AND Bo who convinced him into staying on. Tells me a lot about Carr's coaching tree, or at least what Bo thought of Carr's coaching tree, when he is convincing him to stay on as head coach.
November 30th, 2014 at 4:33 PM ^
Because all of our ADs since Canham have apparently been idiots except Bo.

Is Les the man for the job?
We don't know. But he can plop this down on a recruit's table. National champion by smacking OSU in the title game.
November 30th, 2014 at 8:48 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 9:47 PM ^
Can Les get it done at Mich? The question...

Have we checked the flight tracker???
December 1st, 2014 at 12:57 PM ^
Shortly following the loss to Maryland the UM plane was no longer trackable (I'd been watching it from the time Brandon stepped down to see where an AD might come from).
FlightAware posted the following on Nov 22 or 23:
"This aircraft (N582CJ) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator."

LSU fans are pissed at this bad year they've had and this is nothing more than wishful thinking.
November 30th, 2014 at 1:36 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 3:04 PM ^
and maybe set up a successor. I'm not a big Miles guy either but it seems like sound choice.
November 30th, 2014 at 4:12 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 4:37 PM ^
Plan B. From what I'm hearing, if harbaugh doesn't come and Miles doesn't have the job, it would be for no other reason than Hackett passed on him. . .
November 30th, 2014 at 5:58 PM ^
Is one of the coordinators has to be a guy you are OK with taking over the program when he leaves. He's old enough that you have to plan for his retirement, and the program has had too much turmoil to go through another culture change in 5 years. If he can grab a big name offensive coordinator (not Cameron or Loeffler, please god not them) and bring Chavis or even just Pelini along for a few years, you can probably find someone in that group who can keep a program at a 10ish win level.

Les MIles isn't even close to being the second-best option. There are plenty of great coaches out there doing more with less than Les. If it's not Harbaugh, I want a coach who uses a 21st century offense.
LSU fans really want this to happen a lot more than Michigan fans do. That should speak volumes.
November 30th, 2014 at 4:08 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 9:17 PM ^
We're bargain shopping for a coach now?
November 30th, 2014 at 4:17 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 4:42 PM ^
his LSU teams aren't coming to the Big Ten. We're probably not even getting the DC that everyone actually wants when they mention Les.
November 30th, 2014 at 7:57 PM ^
His LSU team was getting spanked by Wisky until injuries killed the DL and took Gordon out as well.
November 30th, 2014 at 5:20 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 5:29 PM ^
lmao @ 21 st century offense...

if I thought Hackett competent to comb the woods and bring in some real young genius football mind I'd be all for it. But I'm not getting that kind of vibe. In fact, more sclerotic management looks to be in order.

I mean, I'm not exactly thrilled that he's 61 years old, but we could do a lot worse. He could stay for 5 or 6 years, get us back to being a top tier program, and stabilize us going forward.
I don't believe there is any chance of us landing Harbaugh. Grabbing a guy considered one of the top coaches in the country who happens to be from a premier program in the ESS EEE SEE wouldn't be so bad.
November 30th, 2014 at 7:14 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 1:37 PM ^
I'm speculating Les Miles gets a new contract. It's about time.
November 30th, 2014 at 2:04 PM ^
November 30th, 2014 at 8:52 PM ^
His Michigan diploma is really paying off for Les.
Every time Michigan fires a coach, he makes an extra million dollars.
November 30th, 2014 at 2:20 PM ^
The last one was when he was supposedly taking the Arkansas job, right?
And the one before that was when he was coming to Michigan.
November 30th, 2014 at 1:37 PM ^
That's it. Pack it up folks. Les is coming home.
