I'm sure everyone is watching Gameday.....but for those who aren't they are reporting that Les Miles will accept the UM job and that John Tenuta will come along as the DC.

That had been the alleged hold up.....would the school allow for a bigger budget to allow Miles to hire coordinators.....if this report is true, we know the resolution to that possible tripping point.

First UM alum to become head coach in over 40 years, by the way.

As a Michigan fan, I'm more excited about Tenuta coming aboard than I am about Les......if only they had a better QB option than Reggie Ball, they would have won at least 1 league tite at Ga Tech with his defenses.

I wasn't going to post this because it sdeems retarded, but since you said it first....

I received a text yesterday from a friend who always has reliable coaching change and recruiting info. He said 80% Saban to LSU w/ a huge buyout clause and a 10 year deal for less anually than his current Bama deal.

My buddy called Saban leaving to Miami and also called Miles' hire before it happened. Strange stuff:scared

Still, I won't buy this one til it happens. I realize it must be hell living in Tuscaloosa, but come on.

this is unbelievable if true....& it would be a blackeye on college football in general & saban in particular....

i have an idea....how about honoring a contract nick !!....

Saban has a shot at the job. Dont know what kind of shot but he has a shot. Sticking point is his big buyout 10 mill. Rumors he has some big money people behind him. I doubt LSU or anyone will buyout a 10 mill contract.

Saban does not have a buyout clause in his current contract w/ Bama

Sounds like UM's AD blew the deal and LSU came through with a big extension and an ultimatum at the wire.

Expect Miles to STAY at LSU.

wow....

Thats big news.


Surreal.


As I read your post, the ESPN ticker scrolled the whole Les to UM news......is it wrong that I am more intrigued by this than any of the action on the field today?

If this is true, where does UM go?

I don't want Grobe. My brother wants Tedford. I would like to see Kelly get, he is an up and coming coach plus he would be there for awhile.

I agree, Grobe is a good coach. I thought he was a hell of a hire for WF. I just don't see him at UM but if he goes that will be ok, we sure as hell could do worse.

not sure, but guessing Cie would be pissed about LSU's retention of Miles, not the hire of Grobe as a UM fan


I will throw up in my mouth and everywhere else if story of Miles to UM is not true!!!!!!!!
