It Begins: Michigan Gets Permission to Talk to Miles
November 29, 2007 |
Michigan AD Billy Martin has officially requested permission from LSU to talk to Les Miles. LSU AD Skip Bertman requested that the meeting not happen until after the SEC Championship game, so it looks like Miles will meet with Michigan next week.
It looks like the pieces are being setup for a potential domino effect. If Les goes to Michigan the logical successor is defensive coordinator Bo Pelini. Unless Pelini gets the job at Nebraska. If that happens then who knows what’s going to happen. There’s been speculation of Steve Spurrier to Baton Rouge, but I just don’t see that happening for some reason. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Oh, for what it’s worth, Miles is the perfect candidate for Michigan. He was a Wolverine player and coach under Bo Schembechler. And he’s #3 in our rankings (behind Rich Rodriguez and Jim Tressel: two coaches who could very well play for the national title). Hard to beat that.
