As Herbstreit's later remarks would make clear, that information came not from "sources," but from a single, anonymous, uncorroborated source." sourceS?? that's plural. herbstreit made it sound as tho more than one person gave him this info, which later turned out to be untrue. so what else did he concoct?
les miles came out this evening and said AGAIN, he is NOT in the running for the job. this is ridiculous.
i hope michigan hurries up and finds someone, as this is becoming tedious.


"I'm not a candidate for that job and I will not be a candidate for the job," Miles said. "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."--from earlier this evening.

I and millions of other people heard him say it was from someone directly involved in the contract negotiations.

If you want to hang him on an " 's "...go right ahead.


If you truly have been around in the real world long enough...for you to keep throwing up all the plausible denials from Miles and all the lock tight commitments and can't see what's going on you're a lot more naive than I would have thought ,Dannie.

Speilman made it very clear.

Very,very clear.

If you believe the top people at Michigan are still talking to their number one candidate after he rejected their approaches -----to talk to him about search advice?........................................... .do I have to say it?
