Les Miles

[Mortimer]

Let me put it this way...if Miles was so outraged about being outted in the first place.....why in the world does he risk even more distraction about this controversial issue by continuing to talk to the TOP guys at Michigan?

What sense does this make?

i don't know, and at this point, i guess i don't care. nothing any one, including the coach, and those at michigan, and the ad at lsu can convince anyone that miles is staying, so why am i even bothering?

we'll see in less than a month. til then....i'm out on this.

If you want to hang him on an " 's "...go right ahead.


If you truly have been around in the real world long enough...for you to keep throwing up all the plausible denials from Miles and all the lock tight commitments and can't see what's going on you're a lot more naive than I would have thought ,Dannie.

Speilman made it very clear.

Very,very clear.

If you believe the top people at Michigan are still talking to their number one candidate after he rejected their approaches -----to talk to him about search advice?........................................... .do I have to say it?

i dont care what herbstreit said--even the espn ombudsman blasts him in her article. if you want to go ahead and continue to believe something his fellow employee doesn't and that he finally backtracked on a day later, go for it.

miles says he'll be here, if he's just covering up, and even signed an extension just to keep this charade going, and ends up leaving, then i wouldn't have wanted him here anyway.
but in the meantime, i have no reason to disbelieve him. he said he's staying, he signed the extension. if he did all that to keep the team from being distracted, it's not working.
but boy, it sure helps espns ratings, doesn't it?

Miles does more for them than they could ever do by continuing to talk to the top people at Michigan.

Good night ,Dannie....take some fish oil will ya?

In order to try to retain his squeaky clean rep. in the college FB world, he had to backtrack a day later because of the moronic "news conference" that Miles held that made him look like the bad guy.

I don't think so, I'm not watching ESPN any more or less than before. It just gives them SC filler when all that is going on right now are the endless NBA and NHL regular seasons.

But I would love to play poker with you.

[Mortimer]

Moronic "news conference" is a good way to put it.


Coaches consdering jumping ship will hold these things when caught sneaking around. They will deny they may be leaving and vent about the press for several minutes .... who made them sneak around .Then they will say" no questions" and leave.

The "no questions" is always a hint.





Miles and TOP Michigan officials( President and AD...that's all.) are scheduled to talk this morning. Subjects are limited to the weather and their baseball card collections as per Miles' contract.

BREAKING SPORTY NEWS





Coach Saban of Alabama reportedly has purchased the home of Les Miles in Louisiana.


Miles continues to pass the time of day over the tely with TOP Michigan officials.

He signed the extension to keep the team focused on the NC game. Which is naive to think that the media won't figure out the buyout is still in the extension.

I really don't care either way...well...yeah I care. I want him to leave so I can rib you and Cajun to death for all the **** DD and I took for Saban leaving Miami.

[Danzig]

i love how i get called naive when i have an opposing view. wish i had a dollar....

i just hope that all coaches aren't the same lying snakes in the grass as saban. and of course every one of them gets a sideways look now, due to ol nick. i made the mistake of believing him when he said he was set on staying in miami. so i REALLY hope i'm not wrong again. of course petrino doesn't help the whole coaching and ethics thing either.

I was referring to Miles and his agent being naive if they think the media won't pick up on the buyout that's in the extension.

Really Miles is a whore like Saban and the rest of 'em. They're all a bunch of dirty filthy whores.

it was in his original contract. isn't an extension just that, adding time on at the end-perhaps with additions, but not necessarily subtractions?
i think his naivete would have more to do with thinking a call with michigan officials, if innocent as he claims, wouldn't be latched onto by the press.

and a lot of coaches are dirty and filthy, but surely not all of them? i guess the problem is that enough of them are, so all of them get looked at sideways.

don't forget nick saban said the same thing at l.s.u. not leaving for the n.f.l. said it twice in two seasons.

[Danzig]

it is a shame that so many coaches only view their current job as the stepping stone to their next one.
too few joe paternos around these days.

i wasn't sure what les would do a few weeks ago, but i felt confident after his sec-day press conference. i got a lot of grief here, at work, and my husband did as well, for saying he was staying. turned out well in the end.

it's funny, all these hawg fans that we told 'wait til petrino does you like he has every one else' said 'well, les is leaving, you'll be looking for a coach too'. one, they were wrong, and two, two wrongs wouldn't have made it right.

you are RIGHT PP! if miles goes back to michigan, will he get treated like saban has? will the media and everyone else drag him through the mud and call him the devil, like they do CNS???

i still think he is going to michigan. had he lost the SECC game this would be all over by now. i don't think it's about money, it's about playing to win the NC.
these coaching searches have gotten ridiculous. Bama got beat up last year for it. well michigan and arky fans, how's it feel now? don't laugh to hard domers because you'll go through it again next year after weis gets fired.

yep. he already is going thru exactly what nick went through. they wouldn't let saban loose about it, and miles is being constantly shadowed as well.
but petrino takes the cake.

just found this on espn, about petrino--by forde, who apologizes to nick saban in the article!
nothing like seeing someone write an article that jibes completely with your own thoughts.

they have gotten ridiculous.
it's a shame that the athletes have restrictions regarding transferring, but coaches can do what they want, when they want. they should be made to wait til post season...an athlete has to wait to make a move, or hire an agent, or announce for the draft, etc.
if coaches had to wait to negotiate til the entire season was over, you wouldn't have all this mid season bs going on, or messing up bowl games, etc.
but then, the schools do it, so they suffer when it's done to them as well.
no honor among thieves.
