Les Miles Still Dealing with Michigan Rumors
The Les Miles story keeps on going.
The story that never seems to go away. There is a report that Les Miles, current head coach at LSU, talked as recently as last Friday with Michigan. Now Les has come out with a statement saying he was contacted to discuss as an alum about the search for a football coach and who they should be considering. He denies ever discussing himself as a possible candidate.
Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon were talking about this on ESPN’s Pardon The Interruption this afternoon and I have to agree with what Tony said. Not until Michigan actually hires it’s new coach, will this story go away. I know that Les Miles has categorically denied any rumors of his interest and has said that he will be the head coach at LSU next year, people these days don’t trust anything anyone says until the hiring actually takes place. We heard Nick Saban last year, categorically deny that he is going to be the head coach at Alabama, then a few weeks later, he’s in Tuscaloosa being introduced as the next head coach of Alabama.
Plus, why would Michigan officials feel the need to contact Les Miles and ask him who they should interview for the head coaching job? There are plenty of Michigan alum that they could ask, why not ask them? Why put Les in that kind of situation, knowing what he already has to deal with? Heck, why don’t they just listen to Lloyd Carr and let him tell the Michigan officials who to contact for the job.
It just doesn’t make any sense?
