So Miles denies it all..as they always do....and all of a sudden there's a contract extension. It played well due to the upcoming SEC champ. game and possible ( and now for sure) nc game.
And Miles was just caught talking to Michigan over the phone a few days ago...again...about everything except he being hc at Michigan...supposedly.
So it all kinda makes one think this isn't over until early January. There's a faction at Michigan that doesn't want Miles and maybe these are where "contacts" come into play.
Miles is their no. 1 guy, though. I still think he goes there...but we'll see.
It sure cheats the players .

you did see the article above by the espn ombudsman, right? in which herbstreit is said to have spoken to one anonymous,uncorroborated source who had nothing to do with any negotiating that may have occurred.
as for miles, he says that he is not in the running for the michigan job, having just signed an extension (would he have signed that last week, if he planned on ditching in a few weeks?)--and says he talked to michigan about their coaching search, presumably others in the running, not himself. one of his assistants past or present?
sure is a lot of rampant speculation based on a phone conversation.
hell, i talked to my former boss at the job i just left the other day, i have no plans to return.
