I live near Eureka and Middlebelt.....and I work near Haggerty and Ecorse. Small world, tiny world, eh?
January 10th, 2011 at 9:30 PM ^
I grew up right near Eureka and Middlebelt. Went to Romulus schools my whole life.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:32 PM ^
My mother taught in Romulus Schools for almost 40 years.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:37 PM ^
I went to Merriman, RMS, then RHS.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:42 PM ^
Romulus Middle School. Mrs. Cook? English teacher, history for a time, worked the library and was the assistant principal of the MS and the director of technology for a time. That was my mother. LOL
January 10th, 2011 at 9:44 PM ^
I also went to Merriman, was there till the 6th grade when we moved out.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:46 PM ^
I live on Colbert Street, literally 1000 feet from Merriman. My wife and I bought this ranch-stlye home to fix it up and we're stuck. LOL

Yea my dad's house is here, I'm 21, and I work for him, so during the week I stay out here and work between semesters.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
Your kids have a right to see history in the making. Way to get everyone on the board excited about getting the scoop.

If only my wife weren't a native Chicagoan and an Illini fan.....
January 10th, 2011 at 10:39 PM ^
May have been the single funniest post I have ever read.
...just for explaining why I had to put my sleeping 4 and 3 year old in the car so I could figure out who was on the flight back to Michigan. If it were any other night, I swear I would treat someone to Cracker Barrel in Belleville and we could greet the new coach together.
January 10th, 2011 at 10:54 PM ^
Buy a cookie for your kids on me. They'll be happy.

So, do we hear that Les Miles is the next head coach of The University Of Michigan football team in the next day or two?

I'm still holding out hope for Harbaugh.
January 10th, 2011 at 10:52 PM ^
Don't feel bad, half the fan base is still holding out for Bo.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
Could be that Les goes to Dallas tomorrow, back to Baton Rouge to say goodbye to the team, admin, etc., and then heads up to AA on Wednesday to be announced.
Or he could just be staying with LSU. Let's all play the waiting game.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:27 PM ^
Yes, he has to say his goodbyes.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
Let's hope Mike Barwis picks them up at the Airport and drives Les to Webers.

DB does like to sleep on big decisions.
January 10th, 2011 at 10:26 PM ^
likes to sleep on anything that moves
January 10th, 2011 at 10:43 PM ^
and Les Miles likes to sleep on anything that moves
January 11th, 2011 at 5:47 AM ^
.....who that was, trying to make room for themselves on the sofa while I took a nap the other day.
January 10th, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
FWIW, I'm still hoping for Patterson but I doubt he'd leave the sweet set-up he's got right now.
January 11th, 2011 at 12:47 AM ^
Forget Patterson. The UM bluehairs would never approve of his visor. It's not the right fit.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^

Proverbial +1 for Gruden on a Unicorn
January 10th, 2011 at 9:12 PM ^
Are there only two private jets in the whole country? If secrecy (surprise) was critical my guess is that U of M could fork over a few extra dollars and fly Les Miles to Ann Arbor on a third jet. Better yet, since nobody is watching Detroit Metro Airport he could fly coach and step off the plane and there wouldn't be anybody to see him. They would all be out at Willow Run!
January 10th, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
Well it's already confirmed he's not on the jet.

and Les has that talk in Dallas tomorrow so I'm not sure where that leaves us as far as an announcement....If he is picked as our HC by Brandon....
January 10th, 2011 at 9:30 PM ^
John Chavis to Michigan. Book it.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:36 PM ^
January 10th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
I don't think they want Les flying commercial. They probably didn't write a no banging stewardess clause into his contract.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
January 10th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
TomVH comfirmed via his twitter that there is indeed a team meeting tomorrow.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:21 PM ^
You guys don't get it. THIS plane was in Dallas earlier and left at 2:30 ish Central time to go to Baton Rouge...then it filed and is enroute to Willow Run right now...they had to pick up LM wife and some bags is my guess.
Team metting at 4pm..this is a done deal
January 10th, 2011 at 9:24 PM ^
Les was not on the plane.....
January 10th, 2011 at 10:03 PM ^
I'd suggest giving that another read...
January 10th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
DB has to be back in AA for the players meeting tomorrow. I agree though. I hope there's a contract with Miles' signature on it on board!
January 10th, 2011 at 9:23 PM ^
maybe they're just taking a pizza break...this interviewing stuff is hard work
January 10th, 2011 at 9:29 PM ^
They had an ingame announcement that Les Miles is interviewing tomorrow and sources say (hilarious) that if offered he will accept. I believe this source leak is Les's way of either saying he is gone or stiff arming DB if DB has not actually offered yet.
Even if DB has hired Les, it makes sense that only DB would be on that plane to get ready for tomorrow and get a good night sleep with tomorrow bringing the finality to it all. LM has a speech tomorrow and if hired would probably get on a plane to AA direclty after.
Just logical thoughts that mean nothing until DB speaks.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:29 PM ^
The Dominos Jet will be making a trip out to California tomorrow, my sources tell me. You heard it here first. The search continues.....
January 10th, 2011 at 9:31 PM ^
You're going to South America if the plane doesn't do exactly that tomorrow.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:38 PM ^
He's got one point...that would be a short trip.
January 10th, 2011 at 10:02 PM ^
He didn't start that far north of the equator... but there's plenty of room to the south.
