Michigan Coaching Speculation

mgoblog.com is now reporting that miles has been offered again, this time with 2.5 million real dollars and not monopoly dollars.

problem is, miles is getting 2.8 after this year for winning the SEC championship, and upwards of 3.5 if LSU wins the NC

i personally would be surprised if he takes this

I'd be even more surprised if it were discovered to be true. There is no "again", either, as no evidence indicates we made an offer previously. We never got that far.

Awesome. The only thing funnier than a bunch of coaches turning their noses up at Notre Dame, is a bunch of head coaches now turning their noses up at Michigan.

Your program isn't in as great of shape as you think it is when former players and the coach of Rutgers don't want the job.

Obverse side of the coin though Dryden, very similar junk was being spouted about Ohio State when they were being turned down publicly or rumored by Stoops, Belotti, when they were interviewing Spielman, Pagac and getting criticism for not taking Mr. Obvious AKA Glenn Mason.

Yeah, but we're not the greatest college football program of all time, we didn't teach Notre Dame how to play football (although that's no longer a claim to brag about), and we aren't the "Harvard of the Midwest"...

Except I think everyone viewed the run at Stoops to be a "you gotta try" thing. Did anyone really really think he would accept? And while Mason might have been Mr Obvious, he wasn't seen nearly the same way Miles is. Mason was/is a good coach, but has he ever even had a team in a NYD bowl? And it's not like that shouldn't be a reasonable expectation once, even at Minnesota. Miles for all his nuttyness is much more accomplished. And, Mason didn't turn OSU down the way Miles seems to have Michigan. Now sure they could end up making a great hire, but I don't think there's really much comparison between the OSU search and scUM's.




Ohh and we're (err most of us) OSU fans, thus the Buckeye search was a brilliant exhibition of patience while the scUM search (he he scUM search) is a debacle.

Time to look to Div. 1AA. Hey, it worked for OSU. And there's a perfect candidate out there...

That State Up North

Feedback is always welcome and encouraged.

If we were to take the I-AA/FCS route, I seriously doubt we'd look to Moore let alone anyone in his age group. Based on his statements, I think Martin's (ideally) looking for someone who's capable of giving us a decade.

Michigan?s search seems like OSU in 2001

Jim Naveau | [email protected] - 12.11.2007

Over the weekend, while reading about Michigan?s search for a football coach to replace Lloyd Carr, I thought to myself that everyone north of the state line was getting a little impatient.
The tone of every column, every blog and every internet post seemed to be that Michigan athletic director Bill Martin ought to have hired a coach by now. And that Martin had messed up the search with his apparently unenthusiastic pursuit of LSU?s Les Miles and by getting turned down by Rutgers? Greg Schiano.
Carr announced his retirement on Nov. 19, two days after losing to Ohio State for the sixth time in seven years. That was only around three weeks ago, I thought to myself. What?s the big rush?
But when I got into the office on Monday morning and dug into our story archives, I discovered what I had written on Jan. 14, 2001, just 12 days after Ohio State fired John Cooper.
It seems everybody was getting anxious for OSU to hire a coach back then too. Including me.

Sources: Michigan still after Miles
Mark Snyder
Detroit Free Press

Louisiana State head football coach Les Miles appears to be a Michigan coaching candidate again.Miles had a phone conversation Friday morning with Michigan athletic director Bill Martin and school president Mary Sue Coleman, according to several people with knowledge of the call.
Michigan received permission Nov. 28 from LSU athletic director Skip Bertman to speak with Miles, as long as it was after the Dec. 1 SEC championship game. So asking LSU again for permission was not an issue; Michigan is believed to have initiated Friday's call.
Bertman said Monday night he didn't know if Miles had had contact with Michigan. But he said he doubted anyone could sway Miles to leave LSU."He and Bo Schembechler were real close," Bertman said. "If Bo Schembechler were alive I doubt he could have got him to go to Michigan. It's hard for people who don't live in the South to understand."
Miles played and coached under Schembechler at Michigan.

Carr doesn't get along with so and so, Martin doesn't like the other guy.

It seems to me that they are looking for clones. Exactly the same thing that got them into this situation.

I would think a 180 might be appropriate.

Those willing to re-live some of the lighter moments in the 15-day search process may wish to peruse this write-up from BN's Ramzy.
