*RUMOR*
Bill Martin, Mary Sue Coleman and Les Miles are "talking".
Coleman's involvement in this is very serious, means she's seen enough of debacle and probably helping mediate.

I might have to start being an LSU fan once again, that is if all the insiders from the premium sites have the correct info, ALL Michigan fans will suddenly join the LSU bandwagon. |

I wouldn't go that far but things don't look good. I'm sure when they hire someone everyone will spin it as a great hire and who they were looking at behind the scenes the whole time, etc. |

Yep like you Bucknuts did with Jim Tressel. It seems to me most wanted Walt Harris or Glenn Mason back in early 2001 |

OK, so that's your answer. Because OSU took awhile if you guys take awhile it will work the same. That's great rationale. |

We are already ahead of the ball game then OSU was in 2001 since we aren't going to fire the coach in January. |

Not really. Look at the talent we had at that time and look at the talent you have coming back. Are you going to win the NC in 09? Not likely. |

And you thought when JT was hired you were going to win a NC in 2002? Not Likely! |

Call It A Comeback
I've long since discarded the idea any information can be considered solid in the ever-shifting sands of a coaching search, especially one as schizophrenic as Michigan's, but... yeah: several previously reliable people have told me that Mary Sue Coleman has gotten directly involved with the search and there exists a solid offer out to one Les Miles.
I was debating whether or not to mention this -- the fear of things falling apart and Miles talking about his damn strong team while talking about misinformation on MGoBlog, etc. -- but when I guested on EDSBS live to talk about the coaching search, Orson was not only unsurprised that Miles was still a possibility but named the exact hypothetical salary hypothetically offered on hypothetical Friday, $2.5 million dollars. So it's not exactly top secret anymore. Yesterday morning Sam Webb and Michael Taylor were discussing it on WTKA, too. A secrets go, this one is pretty open.
The set of things that seem most likely to be true at this time:
* Miles has an offer for $2.5 million a year.
* He's got a few days to consider it.
* The main hangups appear to be assistant pay and the role of Carr in his program.
* Martin has been at least partially usurped.
Thing which seems completely implausible but given the sailboat thing cannot be ruled out -- nothing can be ruled out anymore:
* The anti-Miles faction in the AD is pushing Brady Hoke heavily.
Thing as of yet undetermined:
* If Miles will accept the offer.
So there you go.

I think a lot of OSU fans were very happy with the pick of Tressel the year he was hired. All you have to do is look at his 4 National Championships at Youngstown State and you know he's a good quality coach.
I'm not sure anyone expected things to be so good so fast, but hey - that's what you get for hiring someone that has experience winning national championships.
I hope Michigan gets someone and ends this entire coaching debacle. It looks very bad on them, and the Big Ten in my opinion.
I also hope Michigan can somehow, someway beat Florida in their bowl game. The Big Ten needs some wins this year!
Go Big Ten! |

Notre Dame is on a longer winning streak than either of the team who will be competing for the national championship.
There is a former U of M TE in the volleyball league that I am in tonight. He's a pretty cool guy, I wonder if he has any insight in to the situation. |

I would pretty much go along with giffius in his observations above. I remember thinking at the time that either Mason or Tressel would be a good choice. Both were native Buckeyes who understood what OSU-UM was about. No, I did not expect so much success so soon, but after the first trip to Ann Arbor I was sure the football program was in good hands.
(Had ND defeated Duke and Stanford in a Quiz Bowl, I would be more impressed.) |

After Tressel's speech during one of the basketball games, it was pretty obvious that this guy was a winner and meant business. |

If no takers on the vacancy, does that mean Lloyd Carr will be back? |

They will get someone even if they have to back-track and hire one of their coordinators. |

You would think Harbaugh's name would be popping to the top.
Why on earth they would settle for one of their coordinators is beyond me.
If they had the answers, they would have pulled the aces out already.
There's not much left to choose from! I'd be throwing some money at your former QB! |

The big rumor is Michigan will hire Wake Forest HC Jim Grobe.
The definition of a "meh" hire IMO...nothing to get excited about, yet will probably keep Michigan about where they are.
We'll see. |
