Clearly there were other factors at play than just that. For instance, it seems pretty clear he wanted to stay close to home. Even if he hypothetically burned the Michigan bridges, he is enough of a talent to go someplace significantly better than Maryland. The fact that he chose Maryland over, you know, a competent program, leads me to think he was going to Maryland regardless of how his relations with our coaches were.

I'm sorry but the next time somebody claims we're delusional and have ridiculous expectations for the football team I'm going to point them to Tiger Droppings.  five losses in three years, two appearances in the MNC game with one win and they want to get rid of Miles????  Seriously? 

Reminds me of Minnesota when they HAD to get rid of Glenn Mason cause "dammit we're Minnesota and 7-5 just doesnt cut it around here".  Careful what you wish for.......

"In his (Les Miles') world, any team in our league can beat us in the last seconds of the game, with one play. Is this what we want in a coach?"

So, the field goal in OT last November wasn't good enough, was it? Putting the game against Alabama away with mere minutes to go in November 2010 still doesn't cut it? Les has beaten plenty of teams for you in the closing seconds with one play (or a few strung together). Wow, tough crowd down in Baton Rouge.

I think it is a problem that infects the SEC schools in general.  Every school there demands excellence and national championships.  Look at how GA's Richt is on the hot seat every year, despite always having 9 or 10 win seasons.  There are schools that would kill for that kind of consistency.

It's similar to Nebraska, too.  A lot of fans want Pelini replaced because he "just can't get them to the next level", despite 9-10 wins every year as head coach.

but the majority consider winning 9-10 to be maintaining the Nebraska standard. Most of us learned our lesson under Callahan.

Let's face it, when your progam wins 850+ games (or 900+ in Michigan's case), its easy to spoil the fans.

I'm sure that is true.  I ventured over to some of the Nebraska Football message boards the week of the Michigan-Nebraska game and there seemed to be a rather large split in the fanbase.  I know they were coming off a not-so-stellar win against Northwestern, but still 9-10 wins a year is pretty good.
