Les Miles will go to Michigan. There is no doubt in my mind. Michigan asked LSU to talk to Les, and LSU will let them after the SEC Championship game. Les will leave. Here are my reasons.
1. He hears Momma callin. I would not be surprised if the egomaniac does not quote Bear Bryant in his press conference when he leaves. Paul Bear Bryant heard Momma callin when he went back to Alabama, and no one can be mad at you for going where your heart is.
2. He has learned from Saban to keep his mouth shut. If he wanted to stay, he would have said so. He would have made it clear. He would have told Michigan to stay up North.
3. This goes with Number 1. He is a Michigan man. He has several ties to the big M. Michigan fans want a Michigan man.
4. This goes with 1 and 3. He has a clause in his contract that says he can go to one school. That school is Michigan. It is his dream to coach the Maize and Blue.
Trust me he is gone. He loves Michigan and they love him. He has not told them no. He has a clause in his contract that he can leave for Michigan.

Yeah… it’s tough trying to vision him staying at LSU.

I heard on sports center that his freinds say he does not want to be taken advantage of by Michigan. He wants some money. That report sounded odd. His freind did not say that he was not sure if he was going or not. His freind even acted like it was a done deal and Les Miles was already thinking about all the money he is going to get.
