Michigan says: It ain’t over yet, Corndogs
Louisiana State coach Les Miles appears to be a Michigan coaching candidate again [detroit free press].
However, the Coonasses have a press conference scheduled for today [LSU Rivals].
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; U-M is believed to have initiated Friday’s call.
The $1.25-million buyout to leave for Michigan reportedly is still in place.
Seriously? Even after the contract extension, Les was able to STILL keep this in place? Why LSU didn’t raise the $1.25-million buyout to leave for Michigan in any contract extension is a bigger mystery.
There was a lot of publicity of Miles winning with Saban’s recruits, and that Miles can’t recruit (see below). There have been a lot of comments that a Miles coached team isn’t disciplined and each week that the lack of coaching caught up with them.
Check out LSU’s recruiting the last 2 years (with Les, not Saint Nick)
2007-LSU #4,
2006-LSU #7,
(Source: Rivals.com)
There is no way Saban players make up the majority of players on the field this year. LSU’s recruiting has no doubt taken a bit of a hit with the rumors of Miles’ departure this year.
Contrary to what has been written, Miles did not say “no”, he was never officially offered the job. Have you ever heard him say “I am not going to Michigan”?
Now, if UM does manage to get Miles away from LSU, it would well and truly leave the Bayou Bengals in a world of hurt. Imagine trying to hire a good coach after the bowl games, and trying to sign a decent recruiting class on ridiculously short notice.

it is over

also for the whole “Miles winning with Saban recruits” shit, that was started by the bammeroids and the No Mascots, i believe.
Hey Bammer–Chad Jones is a Miles recruit. You know, they guy who sacked your quarterback and sent you on your way to Shreveport again.
As for the picture, those are some nice LSU girls. I would stick my corndog in the cornhole of the one on the left (in the gold dress).
I got something coming in a couple of days on winning and losing with Shula’s recruits
The “prick” will go to Ann Arbor after January 7, but LSU will be in good shape since Bobby Petrino just quit Altanta to go to Arkansas. As soon as Miles leaves, Petrino will jump the hog ship as he would Kill his mother for the LSU job. Besides he will have been at Arkansas for three or four weeks which is generally longer than he stays anywhere. Those guys are real assholes. But what head football coach isn’t??
@6 I can see Petrino “changing” his mind. I would bet that the motorcade route from the airport to an apocalyptically horrific drive through the local Arkansas countryside (Healing Springs) will scare the bejesus out of Petrino and his family. One can speculate that gutted mobile homes and abandoned autos are not his cup of tea. If the sight of cow pastures and chicken farms don’t scare you away first, the Healing Springs Rite of Passage will.
it could be called “40 minutes of Hell” as tribute to Nolan Richardson’s style of play.
@7 He might start thinking that he is in the Appalachian foothills…maybe Rich Rodriguez would feel more at home in such a place.
@7 actually if you are leaving NWA regional airport (XNA) from the backside like most groups associated with the University do, you have a nice twenty minute jaunt through an area that is pretty redneck. 7 out of 10 where 10 is deliverance probably.
If you are coming in at Drake Field you land right in the redneck…
Mobile Homes are more difficult to come by in the Arkansas country side. The Hill Billies tend to find more caves and lean-tos to occupy.
those girls are in my chemistry class. some real hotties
@9 Don’t forget about old school buses, which get more common as you move eastward into the more sparsely populated areas. Once you finally hit the flatlands, the moblie homes start to come back, which is not good, given the propensity for tornadoes in such areas.
@10 tell them Hi for us and to send more pictures
Only one is remotely hot. The rest I hope burn their faces off, or come up with some chemical to change their facial structure. I think thermite might be the key to changing their bone structure.
In any case.. I don’t see Petrino leaving Ark for LSU, if Miles jumps..
Petrino is already the poster child for liars, and if he keeps in the trend, he’ll be the head coach for the Yankinville’ Gypsies.
@10. are they good inchemistry? what sorority are they in and can they suck a good cock?
@14 Classy comment
I’m no lesbian but……those 3 make me think about it
