What School would inquire about a coach that is paid millions, is barely one year on the job and in what is generally considered the better league (pros)? Here's guessing Petrino couldn't hack it at Atlanta and reached out to Arkansas. Michigan is light years better without him. Was he a high profile candidate last year? Without a doubt. But just like Saban, the 180 after 1 year in the pros tarnishes him.Jason B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16333727611175699803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-79085571802889890602007-12-12T09:53:00.000-05:002007-12-12T09:53:00.000-05:00Geez Dan, I think you hate Michigan more than the ...Geez Dan, I think you hate Michigan more than the OSU fans do, which is pretty amazing.<BR/><BR/>Why would Bill Martin want a coach who many think is a douche and you described as dickish? I doubt they would be interested in someone who has already shown TWICE IN ONE YEAR that they have no problem jumping ship for "greener" pastures.<BR/><BR/>And LOL to Petrino, have fun with Saban in the Coaches Killed by Hubris Society. Dan, maybe if you're lucky some more of your precious SEC teams can scoop up failed college-to-pro coaches next year.

Please, after what we've seen from Saban, Petrino and your boy Billy Donovan, anything can still happen. I'm not making any predictions, just saying that Miles saying he was only helping (and what the hell does that even mean?) doesn't mean he's staying at LSU for sure.The Mark Showhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797641159879108200noreply@blogger.com
