Les Miles is not morally fit to coach at Michigan
Les Miles is a guy who lies to kids. Watch this Outside the Lines video if you haven't already: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5935634&categoryid=3286128
If Michigan is a place where RR doesn't fit and Miles does, then Michigan is just another team, not a place that stands for something.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:07 PM ^
I heard him and MSC did a threeway with Herve Villechaize on top of Moeller's desk back in the day. Gross.
At the same time, I still don't think Miles is coming to Michigan or even being courted by Brandon.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:10 PM ^
...about the not being considered part.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:11 PM ^
You have something against little people?
January 8th, 2011 at 11:12 PM ^
I have a problem with the unspeakable acts they perpetrated with Gary Moeller's stapler. Some diabolical shit those three sickos are capable of.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:27 PM ^
If it involves another man's stapler I'm 100% with you. Didn't know about that one. Les "Swingline" Miles is unfit for the job. I'm thinking Mary Sue "Bostich" Coleman should be given the boot too.
Geeze I had no idea it was so bad.

... who could resist Herve?
January 9th, 2011 at 12:42 AM ^
I am going to have nightmares now.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:12 AM ^
You're going to have wet nightmares.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:16 PM ^
Or not paying attention. It was a foursome with Loeffler and a circus midget. Herve was dead by then. And necrophilia is sick even for Les.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
I have inside sources way better than Schefter and Schad. You wouldn't believe the horrors these people have witnessed. Les Miles = a walking Fellini movie.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:44 PM ^
More like a walking Pasolini movie!
January 8th, 2011 at 11:16 PM ^
You are not DB or god for that matter to say if someone is morally fit somewhere. You do not know exactly what happened down there. There are two sides to every story. I am not a big fan of him, but if he is going to be our next coach then everyone needs to support him! Or we will be doing this again in another three years! No coach is going to succeed without everyone being unified! I find it unbelievable that some people do not understand that! The case with RR should tell everyone that we need to support the next coach. Michigan is a great university with a traditional football program, we are not an elite college football program right now. We have the resources to be one but right now we are not because we lack a coach and our fan base is divided. Some people need to get off their high horses and open up there eyes just a bit. Bo is not around anymore, this is not the BO, Moeller and lloyd era anymore and this "Michigan Man" term is going to kill me if I hear it one more time! If it is Les MIles or not let that person prove to be a Michigan Man!
January 8th, 2011 at 11:20 PM ^
platitudes and exclamation points!"
January 8th, 2011 at 11:25 PM ^
Michigan to do well. This football program is something very passionate to me and the others on this board. I just find it very disturbing that this program is not being destroyed from the outside, but the inside. I just think these higher ups need to stop being selfish and put away personal agendas for the better of this program. Sorry about the exclamation points, but in my head I was yelling.
GO BLUE!
January 8th, 2011 at 11:27 PM ^
But not the integrity of the program.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
about the integrity of the program. I am pretty sure that is DB and MSC's job to make sure Les knows what may have been acceptable down there is not in Ann Arbor. Do you really think DB does not address this stuff in the interview or hiring process??
January 8th, 2011 at 11:37 PM ^
1) Don't apologize - you don't have anything to apologize for, and I wouldn't be worth it anyway.
2) More problematic (in my humble, irrelevant, opinion) than the exclamation points is the fact that you used quite a few words to say a series of very trite, banal things that amounted to saying almost nothing at all.
January 9th, 2011 at 9:50 AM ^
It takes some real balls to call anyone "morally unfit" to coach or do any job. I hope you all live in titanium houses. Yes, if what the ex-LSU player in the video says is true- IF- that is poor behavior and nothing I want happening should Miles come here. But I would never presume that just because something is on ESPN that their version of the story is the correct one. Apparently some of you do. And have no problem blasting the character of a guy you don't know. Interesting fan base we have here.
January 9th, 2011 at 11:25 AM ^
And FWIW, the former LSU AD had this to add about Les (sorry if you've seen this posted a thousand times already):
“He has a lot of morality, you don’t find it in many people, let alone many coaches. He won’t try to make more money by pretending that he wants to go to Michigan. That’s extraordinarily rare. I was an AD for a long time. Some coaches they really don’t want to go, but pretend they do.
“He’s a classy guy, a wonderful guy, a great father and a great community member. Yeah, sure he could be a good coach at Michigan, but I don’t think so.”
Yea, I know, consider the source...but I'll concede that this "source" knows a hell of a lot more about the person he's talking about than any of us do huddled in front of our computers thousands of miles away. Just sayin'
January 9th, 2011 at 2:17 AM ^
For a second I thought that said Platypus and I was going to agree. Who doesn't like a platypus? Also, is there a funnier word than the plural of platypus which is platypuses? End totally off topic rant.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:26 PM ^
No one needs to be David Brandon or a diety to understand that. Did you even watch the video?
January 8th, 2011 at 11:28 PM ^
I support Les Miles already. I also think it would be super cool to have a coach with his insatiable sexual appetite and lack of regard for the safety of himself and others during his attempts to satisfy that unquenchable desire for depravity.
Also would be cool if he banged Tressel's wife and told everybody about it (i.e. told me so I could anonymously post it on the internet).
January 8th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
I need a firm spanking.
January 9th, 2011 at 12:38 AM ^
me first!
January 9th, 2011 at 9:51 AM ^
One of the top recruiters in FBS, we need Les!
January 8th, 2011 at 11:10 PM ^
. I am just wondering what makes you fit to make that distinction. Is it your 3529 MgoPoints?
January 8th, 2011 at 11:15 PM ^
The Big Ten doesn't oversign b/c it doesn't want kids to be used the way Miles has. My logic is no different than the Big Ten's logic. Also, most moral and ethical systems consider lying to be wrong, so...
January 8th, 2011 at 11:15 PM ^
The Big Ten doesn't oversign because they have strict policies against it. Miles does it at LSU because SEC guidelines allow for it.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
Not all programs did it before the rule. Not all SEC programs even do it now.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:20 PM ^
Not saying it's right...but almost all the SEC schools do it.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
So it's ok...
<br>
<br>Good moral lead you're taking.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
Hey, if the law allows me too whats stopping me? I mean really, he's doing nothing wrong and he's following the rules and doing what he's allowed to do.....
I'm not letting that Outside the Lines report dictate whether or not I want to bring a great coach.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
The rest of us? Morals.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:40 PM ^
He is a god among men who laughs at your silly mortal notions.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:41 PM ^
I have morals. Trust me. That being said, if I'm within the rules I don't question what I'm doing. Listen, get it. What Miles did is a little bit shady, but every program in the country has some shady dealins going on. It just so happens that his were highlighted on National Television.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:45 PM ^
Of the dorms after you've told him to come play for you as ok, because the rules permit it? No feelings for the kid you're supposed to be taking care of at all? As long as it helps you win, I guess. Or better yet...would you send your son to play for him?
January 8th, 2011 at 11:51 PM ^
I would allow my 18 year old son choose where he would want to play football.
January 9th, 2011 at 12:06 AM ^
Actually, the coach is deciding for your 18 year old kid. Did you see how Les had a meeting with one of kids 11 days after his letter was sent out? That means 11 days earlier he already knew the kid had his scholarship revoked and in the meeting, Mr. Miles said nothing of the sort and it was business as usual. I don't know about you, but that is a dick move.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:47 PM ^
There is also the loss of scholarchips LSU is going to face due to breaking actual rules too.

January 9th, 2011 at 12:06 AM ^
"I have morals. Trust me." Nothing against you personally, but that just really cracked me up. If I had doubts about your morals, I'm not sure that the "trust me" would help too much.
January 9th, 2011 at 12:07 AM ^
Touche, does sound kind of douchy
January 9th, 2011 at 12:43 AM ^
That being said, if I'm within the rules I don't question what I'm doing.
That is not morality at all. That is just obeying rules or laws, and rules and laws are often constructed to benefit the constructor, and not from any moral basis. You really should question what you're doing, even if what you're doing falls within the boundary of rules and laws. Think civil disobedience for the greater good of humanity. I mean, come on, won't anyone think of the civil disobedience? We are not sheeple here. We are people here.
January 9th, 2011 at 2:10 AM ^
You should be Michigan's next coach!
January 9th, 2011 at 2:13 AM ^
Someone has to think about the civil disobedience here!
After that, we should think about the social injustice!
January 9th, 2011 at 12:13 AM ^
At this point, recruits who pick SEC schools have known for a while there is a possibility they might get bumped. If you are in the bottom range of recruits, you take what you get from going down there instead of somewhere in the Big10 or a less competitive school
January 8th, 2011 at 11:19 PM ^
That's my understanding, anyway. Do you really want a guy who does something bad just to keep up with the Joneses?
January 8th, 2011 at 11:23 PM ^
He won't do it at UM because he can't. Seriously, Miles is one of the best people we could bring in at the moment. Everyone keeps saying we need a coach to unite the fan base, he is the most realistic option and will get us as close to reuniting as possible. I just don't get why we as so picky, I feel like our elitism is spreading to the board and no one we hire will be good enough.
January 8th, 2011 at 11:26 PM ^
But it's ok, because he won't be able to break the "law" here?
<br>
<br>Character is what you do when no one is looking.
