Guilbeau: Michigan bond could pull Miles

BATON ROUGE -- Another loss for Michigan. Another win for LSU.
More misery for the Blue and Maize. More euphoria for the Purple and Gold.
Another mile closer between the Michigan job and LSU coach Les Miles? Maybe.

Michigan job would come with a high price for Miles
By Glenn Guilbeau

BATON ROUGE -- There is a price on LSU coach Les Miles' head should he ever become the coach at Michigan, where he once played and coached twice.
Michigan does not have an opening now, but it also did not have an opening in January of 2005 when LSU athletics director Skip Bertman hired Miles from Oklahoma State and put a $1.25 million buyout -- only for Michigan -- into Miles' contract.

Pete Fiutak's description of scUM fans watching their team play--
...looking like Beavis when a Michael Bolton video comes on
This is totally unfair. Some of them clearly look like Butthead.

Norfolk State coach Pete Adrian wants Michigan on their schedule, too.

Rutgers' next opponent would prefer Michigan | Inquirer | 09/11/2007
"After watching Rutgers on film and watching Michigan play [Oregon], I think I'd rather be playing Michigan," said Adrian, whose Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) team will be the Knights' homecoming opponent Saturday.

It's unlikely that statement was ever made before, but with Rutgers (2-0) ranked 13th and Michigan (0-2) unranked, it's a commentary on where things stand these days.

:lol:

He has played there and coached there twice as you probably know. But I am led to understand that the front runner really is the coach from Cal.

This early in the process, there is no front-runner. Just the coaches that will be the first to turn them down...

TSUN recruits must be thinking very hard these days about whether they should stick with their commitments. I suppose all it will take is for one to decommit and a landslide will start.

How TSUn Playing APSU might have been set up on Craig's List

Speaking of high-minded things, I wonder if Michigan got Appalachian State to fill the hole in their schedule by advertising on Craigslist. It seems like the kind of pervert ad found on that site: “Looking for someone with a Southern accent to come into my house and bend me over and humiliate me. Must be okay with people watching. Come on September 1, 2007, and I will pay you $400,000.” And then, to really sex it up, the ad probably mentioned that Michigan is the school Tom Brady went to. RAWWWWR!

Say M*ch*gan is really headed into an all-out, downward-spiraling crash-and-burn. No bowl this year, commitments back out, program enters a years-long era of sub-mediocrity.

If this happens and The Game loses its shine, could that possibly open the door for a Big Ten championship game as a replacement? Could Ohio State lose so much in the rankings by playing such a (possibly) piss-poor team at the end of the season that they would be open to the plus-one game that would give them another week or two of practice time and another schedule-strengthening game?

I know that the Meatwad team will probably rebound and stop embarrassing the conference eventually. But what if it is a matter of years? What if we were to miss out on a Championship game because of it?

I think that if tOSU were to make a run next year which included a beating of USC, UM's sorriness probably wouldn't matter too much to voters. But what if they lose a close one to USC early on, get back in the title hunt later only to be passed on for a one loss SEC team after their title game?

(Sorry if this was already discussed ad nauseam - I could have known about it of this site had some sort of search function. C'mon admins, it's 2007 here already.)
