Carr retires, Miles/Schiano balk, UM's coaching search continues...

[bukdow]

Yup. That "Dantonio as coach of the year" thing was DEAD ON!

Weak, Richard. Very, very weak. As far as the UM coaching debacle I am the only one that has provided correct information from day one. Artemis just bleats the Wal-Mart Wolverine line.

bukdow, I understand that you, as a Michigan fan, dislike homers. I do too, which is why I have no problems with you. I hate when I'm a fan of a team and I'm talking to an absolute homer, who can't take criticism about the team.

"He signed the contract on Thursday. So even if he did [talk to Michigan] I would think it wouldn't matter. Because Les wants to be here. He is an honorable man," Bertman told ESPN. "I don't believe he would lead anybody the wrong way."

Sounds like Bertman is greasing the tracks to position Miles as a villian if he takes the UM job.

Does Miles get offended by a quote like this? Does it effect his decision one way or the other?

The plot thickens...

[Timone]

I bet Miami felt the same way about Saban.

Right you are! Bertman is "Striking a Pose".

[Glenn]

Is it time for genuine disappointment, or is this more posturing?

(Only bukdow knows for sure)

Miles Issues Statement About Conversation with Michigan

(12/11/2007) BY www.LSUsports.net

BATON ROUGE -- LSU football coach Les Miles issued the following statement on Tuesday regarding the conversation he had with Michigan last week:

“I had a conversation with Michigan last week that covered a wide range of topics. I was doing nothing more than helping them with their search for a football coach, just as any loyal alumnus might do. It was nothing more than that.

“I’m not a candidate for that job and I will not be a candidate for the job. I was only assisting them in their search for a coach. I have a great job at a wonderful place, a place that my family calls home. It’s time that Michigan goes on with their search for a football coach. I’ll say it again, I’m going to be the coach at LSU next season.”

[Glenn]

“I’m not a candidate for that job and I will not be a candidate for the job. I was only assisting them in their search for a coach..."

"...and my suggestion is that Michigan hires my twin brother, Mes Liles, who cannot be here today due to a scheduling conflict."

"It is not immediately clear to me why my twin brother has a different last name. Next question..."

[Glenn]

“I’m not a candidate for that job and I will not be a candidate for the job. I was only assisting them in their search for a coach..."

"...I have a proven track record with these kinds of things. If you need references, you can start with my good friend, a certain Mr. OJ Simpson". Next question...

[Timone]

"No" means "Yes" in my world.

[Glenn]

Fuck.

Just read a smilar OJ joke someplace else.

Bah.
