Les Miles asked about Michigan at his Monday presser.

Submitted by Brandon_L on
He does not read the paper. He makes it very clear.

Q. And whether you're interested or not, at this point, when there is a job opening at Michigan, do you just expect to hear from them giving your ties to Michigan and your success here?

COACH MILES: Yeah, I have given little or no thought to any other jobs. I am so comfortable with my team and doing what I'm doing. I do not read the paper. I certainly respect and love Michigan and wish them the very best.

Q. Do you take it as a compliment when you are connected with another job?

COACH MILES: I don't really look at it as a compliment or not. Again, I haven't read a newspaper in a month, just so you know. It's hard for me to tell you what the record of other schools are. I just kind of enjoy going to work and getting it done. I need to correct that. I do read the newspaper. Just not the sports section. http://www.nola.com/lsu/index.ssf/2014/11/full_transcript_of_lsu_coach_… Edit: sorry if this is not thread worthy, but it seemed better than x,y,z CC thread. Mods please delete if this is not thread worthy.

REPORTER: Are you interested in the ____ Coaching Job?



COACH: Hell Ya! They are going to offer me a crap ton more money than this hell hole. Besides, I think this team is maxed out and is going to regress next year, but what can I say, I wouldn't have to recruit from this crap talent pool when I'm at ____.

(the crazy part I mean)..... He's like a crazy great uncle all liquored up on Thanksgiving and dishing 50 year old family dirt.  Ya never know what might shake loose.  If I were a reporter there is no question too odd.  Hell if nothing else he might offer an opinion as to the nutritional value of various turf varieties.

I think that the reasons that there are no posts about the OSU game are:

1.  this season has been so bad that nobody really cares about the actual football.  It is all about the CC at this point, as a win or loss this weekend doesn't do much to change the trajectory of our program;

2.  Everyone pretty much assumes that we are going to get slaughtered;

3.  WHile most posters will not admit it, many are actually hoping that we do not pull off the miracle upset as it could save Hoke's job.  Unlikely, if you apply logic, but as Brian has noted, attempting to apply logic to the functioning of our AD at this point seems . . .illogical.

The age thing doesn't matter, in my mind. Even if we only get 5 good years out of him that would be a huge shot in the arm for this program. And the fading part is not exactly substantiated either. He played in a NC game no more than 2 years ago, and has a really young team.

As for needing someone fresh, that doesn't always work out either, as we all know.

At least in this game he does. He will stay in the background and try to be invisible until either he, or another coach (Harbaugh) takes the job, and he surely knows the pecking order. After the last few mishaps, you won't see Les's hand until the cards fall.
