yeah, anyone who believes that the whole "Les would never say no to Michigan!" line is anything more than agent speak is deluding themselves. Les won't be offered the job (for the third time in a row) but he sure as hell will get a nice raise to offset his lost performance bonuses after this year.

So since we're gonna speculate... Anybody know what Les Miles' career record against Urban Meyer is?
November 30th, 2014 at 1:48 PM ^
- 2005- W 21-17 vs #11 Florida
- 2006- L 10-23 at #5 Florida
- 2007- W 28-24 vs #9 Florida
- 2008- L 21-51 at #11 Florida
- 2009- L 3-13 vs #1 Florida
- 2010- W 33-29 at #14 Florida
3-3

It all depends the coaching staff Miles brings with him. The coordinators will be extremely important. And hopefully he has guys that teach their positions well. Our secondary coach was the best recruiter in the world, but man, db coach? An ex LBer who was too young and exerienced at a position he never played trying to teach it?
And i wont even begin in regards to the OL coach.
November 30th, 2014 at 1:52 PM ^
Miles has a pretty impressive track record with regard to hiring assistants. That I wouldn't worry too much about.
November 30th, 2014 at 3:22 PM ^
Les' assistant hiring track record is pretty overblown. His offensive coordinators have mostly been duds since Fisher left (and you're lying to yourself if you think he's not bringing Cam with him if he comes here), and there is a zero percent chance Chavis comes with him. I guess you could credit him with hiring Gundy, but Gundy was an Oklahoma State guy who had already been their OC previously so it was hardly an amazing discovery.
November 30th, 2014 at 2:04 PM ^
If he brings along John Chavis; I'm sold

Yeah, that "OL coach" ias only in charge of the most improved part of the team, but don't let the facts ruin a good bashing......

This entire time, I've been quietly thinking this was far more reasonable than a lot of folks would have ever thought. Timing seems right with them out of the mix in the SEC and heading to a shitty bowl game, too.
November 30th, 2014 at 1:54 PM ^
I would guess that it is very likely Hackett is part of the group that has been around for decades that wants nothing to do with Miles for reasons that have nothing to do with his coaching ability.
November 30th, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
Not necessarily. He and Miles were teammates. There are a lot of football alumni - probably the majority - who like Miles.
November 30th, 2014 at 2:00 PM ^
Too many stories about Bo essentially banishing him from Ann Arbor for there not to be at least some truth to them. I'm guessing the memory of Bo is going to carry more weight than the personal connections guys have with Miles.
From the football alumni I've spoken with (not a lot, but guys from 80's and early 90's), none of them were fans because they trusted Bo's opinion.
November 30th, 2014 at 2:22 PM ^
Yes, those stories are out there. But there are more stories about him and Bo patching things up later on. Bo reportedly forgave him not long before he passed.

guys who played under him, like Hackett? Just a hunch

Tennessee's rivals mod was saying we contacted Butch Jones in late September. Do you believe that?
November 30th, 2014 at 6:59 PM ^
...but doesn't Trace Armstrong represent Jones?
I'd say you could be pretty certain that someone at Michigan spoke to Trace Armstrong at some point in the season. I'm sure we "contacted" Urban Meyer while we were at it, not that it means anything.
November 30th, 2014 at 1:43 PM ^
No thanks. Guy is already what, 61? We need someone who will be here for 10+ years. I can only imagine the negative recruiting that will go on by other schools. "He'll be gone before you graduate."

this post is full of nothing but assumptions. How do you know he would recruit Ohio well and recruit nationally if he came here? How do you know that negative recruiting about his age would be so easy to overcome? How do you know that he'd go out and hire what would, in effect, be a head coach in waiting instead of just bringing Cam Cameron along and nabbing someone like Muschamp that we wouldn't want as our future HC?
My problem with people who want Les is that they only want this idealized version of Les who doesn't actually exist outside of the imagination.

Rather keep Brady Hoke, who just finished the year 5-7, over a coach who is wearing a National Title ring?
Some of you people are literally too stupid to insult.

He won the title 3 years after Saban left. It was more his team than Saban's.

And even though Carr recruited half of them anyway (being Moeller's DC).
