Either Les Miles just can't quit Michigan or the Maize & Blue just can't quit Les. The Detroit Free Press reports Miles and Michigan spoke last week keeping alive the possibility that he could still bolt for his alma mater after the national championship games.
"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.Despite all of this, LSU athletic director Skip Bertman remains unconcerned his coach will be leaving anytime soon.
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."
Who knows what to think with the Michigan coaching search, but the sooner January 7th comes without a man in place, the larger this speculation will grow. Many others are speculating that the Wolverines are waiting for the NFL season to end to find their coach. The good news is that Michigan can afford to wait as recruiting takes care of itself in Ann Arbor."They're frustrated because they didn't get what they want," Bertman said. "You can't get Les Miles -- the guy signed his contract. It's over."
"There's a bias as to why would a guy would stay at LSU when he could go to Michigan," Bertman said Monday. "I'm here to tell you it's a better job. It's more money. It's the only school in the state. It's a wonderful place. His wife loves it here, he loves it here."
My original 'Who will be Michigan's coach' poll is closing, so I'll ask again -- who do you think will be the man?
