BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 10th, 2011 at 8:21 PM ^
5 million a year for 5 years... if this is true Les got paid!
I wanted Chucky but, like I said, I'll support however our coach is 100%
January 10th, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
where that's the full staff payment and he's getting over 4
January 10th, 2011 at 8:08 PM ^
The whole TD forum is berating him for not posting a source ... and now we're going to too.
To false rumors!
January 10th, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
You want it.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:09 PM ^
Will wait until it's actually confirmed but if true, thank God it's over. Miles wasn't my first or second or third choice (etc.) but he puts up wins and recruits like mad. Just want this to be over at this point.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:21 PM ^
That should have made him one of our first choices. I know he's a loon and he can't clock manage, but I look forward to yelling about how 10 win seasons are UNACCEPTABLE!
January 10th, 2011 at 8:30 PM ^
UNACCEPTABLE RABBLE RABBLE
January 10th, 2011 at 8:43 PM ^
How crazy is it to think we used to think 8-9 wins wasn't getting it done? When you think this, you know you're a spoiled fanbase.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
If it's Miles, we need a grad assistant whose only job is clock management.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:37 PM ^
I need to go back to being a productive member of society. I so hope thisi is finally it.
January 10th, 2011 at 11:54 PM ^
January 10th, 2011 at 8:09 PM ^
Alright! It's a done deal!
Who is gonna make the "Hello: Les Miles" post?
January 10th, 2011 at 8:14 PM ^
January 10th, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
why don't you make it slappy?
January 10th, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
You want to play the role of Fox News last week?
January 10th, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
To be fair, it wasn't "Fox News", but rather the news at a local Fox station. They are kind of two different things...
January 10th, 2011 at 10:28 PM ^
They both suck
January 10th, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
Thank you for sharing your opinion...
January 10th, 2011 at 10:31 PM ^
True, but they pool resources (I have worked at two FOX affiliates in the newsroom). In fact, FOX, the corporation, actually owns the Detroit affiliate (which is not always the case; most local affiliates are owned by a different entity than the network).
January 10th, 2011 at 10:38 PM ^
Thank you for providing some actual information!
January 10th, 2011 at 8:10 PM ^
Go DUCKS ....!
January 10th, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
January 10th, 2011 at 9:46 PM ^
I've never seen anything else quite like it.
January 10th, 2011 at 10:22 PM ^
it really is.........a wonder.....isn't it?
January 10th, 2011 at 10:37 PM ^
that was mad funny..seen your comment, and had to double take...cant stop laughing
January 10th, 2011 at 10:42 PM ^
you must have stayed at a holiday inn express last night
January 10th, 2011 at 10:24 PM ^
dude I just threw up in my mouth a little over that pic
January 10th, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
When the webline posted has the word "rant" in it the accuracy of information it contains is questionable at best
January 10th, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
cletus down at the bait shop sez "he's gawn!"
[i'll wait for a real source]
January 10th, 2011 at 8:12 PM ^
Why wait for confirmation when we can simply proceed as its a done deal liike aaamichfan states above? Its much more fun to assume. It feels like we're rolling the dice with our emotions and if it turns out to be true we'll feel even more exhilarated about it. Of course, on the flip side, if its untrue, well, that would suck. Anyone up for some gambling with our emotions?
January 10th, 2011 at 8:20 PM ^
But I'm already doing this about Jon Gruden. Too late to switch now.
Keep hope alive!
January 10th, 2011 at 8:42 PM ^
WoooooOOoOOoOO!!!!!
January 11th, 2011 at 12:40 AM ^
haha Im with you. I want Gruden but I'll be content with Miles. Dude is a winner, and a great recruiter. Sure, he does some strange things, but if hired, Im sure he will give us mgobloggers plenty of things to write about. Hopefully good things.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:13 PM ^
I'm going to eat grass in honor of the occasion. And eating grass makes me vomit.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:18 PM ^
I'm gonna smoke grass in honor of the occasion.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
Looking forward to many years of grass jokes!
January 11th, 2011 at 1:19 AM ^
we gotz field turf....that might throw him off his game!
January 10th, 2011 at 8:47 PM ^
All the grass here in Michigan is frozen so dude will have to mao some snow.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
January 10th, 2011 at 8:14 PM ^
Let's hope it's true and Les can make some magic happen with some of these recruits after the dead period.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
after the dead period riiiiggghhhttt "after". Kidding I hope it's true if for no other reason than we can put a face back on the sideline.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:14 PM ^
I can't help but feel "meh" about Leslie. Not nearly as excited as I was 3 years ago, but seeing how that turned out, with LM we'll probably be playing for the MNC within 3 years.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:16 PM ^
you're right he only just obliterated a team in the cotton bowl.... nothin really to be excited about.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
Yeah, previous record was exactly why I was pumped about RR. Except RR wasn't almost 60, didn't have a reputation of questionable play calling, clock management, and recruiting.
All I'm saying is, I don't know what to think. And I don't think its at all unreasonable to have some misgivings about LM despite all the plusses. I'm not too pissed, but not too excited either. Just, "meh".
January 10th, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
Except RR wasn't almost 60, didn't have a reputation of questionable play calling, clock management, and recruiting.
RR was younger, but the others certainly applied. WVU fans were appalled at his game management in that Pitt disaster. And there was a lot of fear on Michigan boards that he'd recruit a bunch of Pacman Joneses.
But in regard to past history, averaging 10 wins a year in the SEC > averaging 10 a year in the Big East.
January 10th, 2011 at 8:46 PM ^
and while his defenses at LSU have been good, the offense there sucks, particularly this year (92nd). Let's hope he brings with him some better ideas on offense. Though RRod is gone, I still think some concepts of the spread should be retained with the new coach.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
Then how is it that LSU has a shitty offense but runs wild in a BCS bowl and beats the Bama D but we have a great offense that does nothing against OSU and Miss State?
January 10th, 2011 at 10:00 PM ^
...in the bowl as he did all year. In the regular season, he had 4 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, but 3 touchdowns and 1 interception in the bowl
In other words, I have no idea.
