Jalen Rose backs Brandon/Thinks Les Miles should be hired
http://michigan.247sports.com/Bolt/Rose-Keep-Brandon-Hire-Les-Miles-32274129 Title says it all. At this point, I'm just hoping things don't cool down enough for Dave Brandon to stick around.

Oh Jalen, you still know how to make me laugh after all these years...
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:19 PM ^
I think that Les Miles would be a lot like Hoke with two great cordinators, great recruiting with a lot of clapping and encouragement. At this point I think Michigan needs the fire of one of the Harbaughs.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:22 PM ^
There's no comparison between Miles, a winner with SEC and National titles to his name, and Hoke. Miles put together perhaps the most ridicullous defense ive seen in 10 years during their run to the national title in 2011.

I concur with many things about your posts Senor Espicy Weiner, however I am leary of Leslie James Miles as our coach. He's up in years, and given that he has Louisiana all to himself in terms of recruiting, I'm not 100% sure it would translate in terms of success up North.
However, what with the last 8 years, my choosing days have been replaced by those of a feeble beggar, so I'd be content with Miles, but far happier with the fiery one Jimmy H.

OK, so no Leslie James Miles. But how do you feel about Leslie Edwin Miles?

Miles is exactly the kind of coach Hoke is, which is why his reputation is as a buffoon and not as some kind of genius.
To wit, you're giving Miles credit for a defense that he personally had nothing to do with... that side of the ball is all Chavis. He is as beholden to his coordinators as Hoke is.
October 24th, 2014 at 6:19 PM ^
The difference: Miles has consistently hired quality assistants. That's a hugely important part of the job and he's nailed it.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:27 PM ^
I'm not sure you can compare hoke to a guy who has own championships as a head coach. Sorry

...in the SEC.
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:30 PM ^
comparing Hoke to Miles? you should be banned.
October 23rd, 2014 at 6:37 PM ^
Between Miles and Hoke. There is no way this program would be the dumpster fire that it currently is in year 4 under Miles.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:20 PM ^
LET ER RIP
October 23rd, 2014 at 7:30 PM ^
What a weirdo.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:20 PM ^
Did he work in a Fab Five reference somewhere in there?
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:20 PM ^
Jalen needs to stay out of the crackhouse
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:32 PM ^
He's been in a crackhouse; that was not a crackhouse.
October 23rd, 2014 at 9:15 PM ^
shut up
October 24th, 2014 at 2:31 PM ^
It was a joke. Jalen is my favorite Fab Fiver and is a real good analyst. People get sensitive around here during Sparty week.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:21 PM ^
I love me some Jalen Rose but Brandon needs to go. Nothing would unite the fanbase than replacing Brandon right now.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:29 PM ^
Next year under new coach.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:22 PM ^
tell Jalen to talk with John U Bacon.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:23 PM ^
I think Miles would win more games than Hoke.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:33 PM ^
Of course he would.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:23 PM ^
Please God no. DB needs to go.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:29 PM ^
Well, Jalen is half right. I feel Miles would be a good hire. Keeping DB would not be good.

Although you've got to admit some of those interactions between the Mad Hatter and Bradon could be hilarious. We could even pitch Brandon on offering Miles the finest grass Michigan has available. Heck this might be why Jalen is so adamant about getting them together.
It all makes sense.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:30 PM ^
Go away, Jalen.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:32 PM ^
Les Miles is option B outside of Jim (1A) and John (1B).
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:35 PM ^
Brandon needs to go. Anyone else think that Miles, who will be 61 in a couple of weeks, is too old?
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:38 PM ^
I'd still take him. He's a great coach. Would prefer the Harbaughs but if Miles actually landed here, I'd be encouraged. As long as he could give Michigan say five good years and then set the team on a positive trajectory, really all we can ask at this point
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:47 PM ^
Exactly!
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:58 PM ^
Bill Snyder thinks he's too young.
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:33 PM ^
Brandon needs to go, Miles isn't too old. I'd take him in a heartbeat. He'd give us 5-7 good years at least.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:36 PM ^
it is 7 years too late for Miles.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:44 PM ^
It's getting fairly annoying for people (Media, alums, etc.) suggesting that the only group of people who are mad are the students. It's completely ignorant to reality. I don't know a single season ticket holder who is happy about the team, the leadership of the Athletic Department or their outrageously high ticket prices. Students were paying too much for tickets but so am I. If students are unhappy about seeing the free tickets with a purchase of two Cokes, imagine what it's like to pay $95 per ticket while seeing that same deal go down. The point -- pretty much everyone is upset and it's not going to go away while Dave Brandon is here because Dave Brandon does not know how to lead this Athletic Department appropriately and effectively.

User 1: "JALEN JUST NEEDS TO SHUT UP!"
User 2: "It's his JOB you idiot, he gets paid to speak! He was asked a question so he answered!"
Am I in, what do I win?!
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:54 PM ^
"Because of that, I don't see how he can be able to keep his job after this year. If there is a change -- and I never root for any person to get fired -- Les Miles. While the people in Baton Rouge appreciate everything he has done, they don't seem like they have that new car smell with him anymore."
Perhaps if they hang an air freshener around Les....I believe they sell new car scent ones now. Actually, they'd look under the hood and find the radiator full of lawn debris from the the grass consumption, I imagine. Still, not a terrible repair in comparison to not replacing David Brandon.
October 23rd, 2014 at 4:58 PM ^
does the title say?
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:00 PM ^
Every time this guy opens his mouth about something non-current Michigan Basketball team related, my dislike for him grows.
Neg away baby.
October 24th, 2014 at 5:48 PM ^
Ironic.
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:01 PM ^
Guy is a goon. With the grey shirts, the off field issues, etc... I don't want him, regardless of his previous success.
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:06 PM ^
And I think he's a smart guy. That said, I take everything he says not too seriously.
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:10 PM ^
But how does he feel about Chris Webber?
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:25 PM ^
Perhaps the Tao of Jalen will convince some of you to support Dave Brandon. I'm on board.
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:29 PM ^
Jalen, your opinion on football isn't giving "...THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!"
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:31 PM ^
I like Jalen, but he needs to shut up some times.
October 23rd, 2014 at 5:34 PM ^
@OP: I have a feeling that things will heat right back up by Saturday night.
