Everyone has heard the rumor that Miles didnt get hired at UM because he was sleeping with another of the coaches' wife back in the dayI know it's fun to believe that these sort of familial scandals lead to Les Miles not being hired at Michigan, and I'm guilty of it too, but I really wish that this could just stop. Les Miles isn't our coach because Bill Martin didn't think he was the man for the job and Rich Rodriguez was/is. End of story.

I have zero proof or evidence, and can say nothing about its truthiness it was an interesting tie in of a bunch of things I always wondered about.... In creative writing, you learn that everything that goes on in a story has to have some sort of explanation -- events are all connected and lead to the final outcome. You do this because that's what readers like. They like stories that all fit together, so the world you've invited them into makes sense and they are on top of it and feel good. They like this because that's not the real world. In the real world, your head coach may just spazz out while drunk at a strip club for no discernible reason whatsoever. Years later your heir presumptive may sign a multi-year contract while your AD is somewhere in the Caribbean under sail power. These things may not make much sense. Stories can make it all make sense. But I have a feeling this one is just that: story. It has the ring of high tale. It has little ring of truth. What probably happened is they had some questions about the overall SEC-ness of how LSU had been run under Miles, and didn't think Schiano would say "no." The sailboat was an accident, and it got under the skin of many who follow football incessantly that a man near retirement facing the most stressful decision of his career would be at sleeping, let alone at sea, during a time that loyal fans were eschewing both to stay by their refresh buttons. But it was an accident. Just as Mo was alcohol. And it all ended with Martin pulling a rabbit out of a hat and a broken finger and a negotiation process that was reminiscent of what Texas Tech is going through now.
