Michigan Football Staff Getting Nervous About Les Miles?

Last night I was on the net and say a silly article at MSNBC called Even if Miles bolts, LSU fans should feel secure. The overwhelming theme of this article is that if Coach Les Miles goes to Michigan that Coach Tuberville will come to LSU. Well for several reasons I doubt that. However what is curious about this article is a paragraph is on the second page. The article goes off its train of thought and we see:
The dominos will start to fall as long and Miles can go to Michigan. Of course, the ghost of Bo Schembechler could haunt him and hold up that domino.
In Jan. 2006, Jai Eugene, a gifted defensive back from St. Rose, La., committed to Michigan on national television. A week later, Miles the Michigan Man turned Eugene back to LSU prompting a temper tantrum from Schembechler. The legendary coach, who died in 2006, called Miles from the UM football office and blasted his former assistant coach for not honoring Eugene’s commitment to Michigan. He told Miles it was not the way a Michigan Man would behave and then he hung up on Miles.
When Jim Harbaugh’s people start burning the phone lines to lobby him for the job, or Carr tries to rally support for defensive coordinator Ron English, they could all say, “You know, Bo, didn’t like Miles.”


Wow!!! Talk about a writer really going out of his way to put that in. Now first there is no indication that Bo hated Miles. In fact quite the opposite. Since Bo is dead and I really don't think Les Miles told the reporter this where did this info come from? Well I am willing to bet like many" Miles is dirty rumors" it is coming from the members of the current coaching regime of the Michigan Coaching staff. People who realize that they might not have jobs if Miles goes to Michigan.
