O'Brien has been at N.C. State just one season, but he is a perfect fit in Ann Arbor.

Why he does/doesn't get the job: Another possibility for an in-house transition for AD Bill Martin. LSU now has confirmed Miles' extension with an official release on its web site, which concludes: 'Miles will not entertain any offer from the University of Michigan to become the Wolverines head coach or from any other institution.'

Lawsuit update: Judge's ruling means the hunt for Les Miles must continue

BATON ROUGE - A ruling from a federal district court judge extends a legal game of hide-and-seek tied to a lawsuit against LSU by a former athletics department employee.

Sharon Lewis sued the university and a number of individuals associated with the school in 2021, listing accusations of discrimination, a hostile work environment and other misconduct.

The individuals named in the original filing -- among them, former head football coach Les Miles -- were later dropped as defendants, leaving only the university as a party to the case.

But Miles remained a prospective witness, and therein lies the problem for Lewis and her attorneys: They can't find him.

Efforts to serve Miles with a subpoena this summer failed, and the plaintiffs turned to the Court for help.

He's had success at both the collegiate and professional levels, but especially with the Panthers. Kelly dismisses Michigan talk - UC coach, who could be a candidate, says his focus is on Saturday's game. He's a fantastic coach and is very bright.

Bodoglife.com has posted odds on who the next Michigan coach will be.

Is an excellent recruiter and is dynamic, especially on the West Coast. The Scarlet Knights will go to their third bowl game in a row this season.

The truth is that Jai had his own reasons for staying in Louisiana (his child) and even if Les did negatively recruit (which I doubt) it probably didn't impact Jai's decision.

I know Grobe thinks he has one move left in him. The school that likes to cluck about its rich football history -- NCAA records for most wins (860) and highest winning percentage (.745) -- is in the awkward position of wondering why its lofty reputation isn't enough to get coaches to crawl on their knees to accept the job opening created when Lloyd Carr announced his retirement in November..."

THE SEARCH: Who's out and in as candidates

Les Miles' flip-flop on the Michigan job caught many off guard -- including the Wolverine brass.

After about 15 minutes it left, returning to Willow Run. The return leg is scheduled to touch down in approximately 30 minutes. He left UM to take over the Ball State program in 2003.

Two other interesting names recently were dropped in my lap: N.C. State's Tom O'Brien and Missouri's Gary Pinkel. Word is he he was one of Bo Schembechler's top choices.

What I think is going to happen is that well renegotiate with Les and hes going to stay."

Report: Miles speaks with Michigan officials
December 11, 2007 Source: Gannett News Service - "LSU head football coach Les Miles appears to be a Michigan coaching candidate again. Also consider Miless contract already states that if he wins a national title, the university must make him one of the three highest-paid coaches in college football.

If Schiano becomes the next football coach at the University of Michigan - and he appears to now be the leading candidate, with Rutgers confirming he has interviewed for the job - no one will outwork him. The governor cited the 70 percent boost to Rodriguez's pay, increased salaries for his coaching staff and a $2 million academic center for athletes.
