Miles' many ties to Michigan job
A large question looms across the college football landscape: Will LSU coach Les Miles step into his mentor's shoes as the next Michigan coach? He played at Ann Arbor, met his wife, Kathy, a former Michigan assistant women's basketball coach, on campus and cut his teeth there as an assistant coach and graduate assistant. No one knows this better than LSU, which has a $1.25 million buyout if Miles, 53, leaves for Michigan, compared to a $500,000 buyout if he leaves for another job. Miles and many people close to him insist that he is locked into the present, and that he and his family are extremely happy at LSU. But Miles, who is under contract through 2010, cannot deny the role Michigan played in his life.

Doubtful...the Unversity has made it abundantly clear that Lloyd Carr isn't going anywhere, unfortunately. He can do pretty much anything short of murder and they'll still stick with him. If Lloyd were to get canned Miles definitely has to be number one on the wish list, and that $1.25 million buyout is certainly not a deal breaker. Carr did actually make a good decision this week by starting K.C. Lopata at kicker. While Lopata did have a blocked PAT attempt, he nailed his first career fied goal with a 31 yarder in the 1st quarter. He added a second one of 36 yards in the third. He also had three successful PAT attempts. I think it goes without saying who the kicker will be next week against Purdue. he active ingredient in Red Bull is Chuck Norris's sweat.
