Les Miles is going to be the head coach in Ann Arbor next season. I don't really care what he says two hours before his SEC championship game. College football head coaches are straight-faced liars who typically have very little loyalty to their school.
Of course, there are those honest, humble, and loyal coaches such as Joe Paterno at Penn State. So I'm not lumping every coach into the "Nick Saban Web of Lies," but, all the same, it never surprises me to hear of a coach bolting from a previously great situation.
Miles has nothing to lose by staying at LSU. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure there is less pressure at the helm of LSU than there is as a Wolverine. Michigan's season comes down to one thing: beating Ohio State. If you lose to Ohio State, you're a failure. Bottom line.
Do you want to know why Lloyd Carr "resigned" (was fired) from Michigan? Here's why:
During his 12 year tenure, he was 121-40. Michigan won or shared five Big Ten Titles, and in 1997 his team was the Associated Press' National Champion.
121-40? That's a pretty damn impressive resume. But what he couldn't do was beat the Buckeyes. And that's all that matters. Forget about the fact that he's maintained a national title contender for 12 years. That's nothing. Forget about the fact that he's won the Big Ten five times. And of course...screw winning a national championship. Why does that matter?
Oh...wait just one second. I forgot to mention that in his 12 year tenure he beat Ohio State six times, only one less victory than Ohio State had over him.
But...you know...what have you done for me lately? I guess.
If you're Les Miles, you're crazy for even thinking about going there. You're setting yourself up for failure. Major failure.
Nonetheless, look for Miles in Michigan black and gold by next week. And if I'm wrong and the speculation that LSU has already come to terms in a new deal with Miles than I'll eat my words and start crying about something else. But I don't buy into Miles little whining session this afternoon.
In all reality, I just had to complain about something in order to keep my head on straight during this MU-OU game. I could care less about Michigan or LSU. And Ohio State doesn't even exist in my mind.

Screw Miles.
If he doesn't want to be a Wolverine, we don't want him. Let him get his butt kicked by Nick Saban from here on out.
And it's MAIZE and BLUE.
Black and gold? Please.
