Giant Douche Vs. Turd Sandwich.
If the enemy of my enemy is my friend, than who is who? Whoever wins, there will be no "Ha Haaaaaaaaaa!" Moment for Michigan fans.

The Ultimate Tiger Trap?
![]()
In his farewell press conference, Lloyd claimed that the only reason for this being the time for his resignation was out of concern for future of the Michigan football program. Not to accuse Coach Carr of being malevolent towards Les Miles, but allow me to play devil's advocate for a minute and let us explore other possible reasons for Lloyd picking this as the time to retire:
1) Lloyd's departure sets the LSU athletic department to Defcon Five. In order to keep Miles around LSU, Skip Bertman, the LSU AD, offers Miles a very substantial raise. If Miles refuses the raise and accepts an offer from Michigan, he is giving up the possibility of being one of the highest-paid coaches in NCAA football. If he takes the raise and stays at LSU, people may say his love for Bo and ties to Michigan weren't as strong as initially thought - a major slap in his face. Truly a lose-lose situation for Miles.
2) Michigan offers Miles the job before the SEC Championship or even the BCS Championship (should the Tigers make it.) If Miles is not allowed to coach LSU after accepting a Michigan offer (not unheard of in college athletic politics, as Bo Schembechler has shown us in the past with Bill Frieder) he must choose between coaching players he loves for a major trophy (who knows when the next time he'll coach for a championship will be?) and what many people say is his dream job. Another possible lose-lose situation.
Lloyd Carr has always been a man of the highest moral standard. However, one can't quite ignore the possibilities that any personal disapproval with Miles' candidacy for the job might have factored into the way he retired.

Les Miles: Lucky, Ballsy, or Supernatural?
So Les Miles has come up with another victory from the jaws of defeat. Is he an offensive genius? Does the fact that he has cajones with ten foot diameters inspire his players to play like they do too?
Whatever the case, Lady luck sure does seem to be on his side these days - or is it someone else who is giving Les a little assistance?
What do you guys think?

Balls!
Autumn Thunder salutes you, Les Miles. Do you have to buy three seats when you travel by plane? Do you need assistants with forklifts to help you get in and out of your car? Oh to see you in the Maize and Blue... [Homer Simpson drool sound]...
