You Can't Spell Lloyd Carr Without 2 L's...

Or in the 2007 version: 4 L's. Lloyd Carr announced Monday that he would be stepping down as the head coach of Michigan. This immediately raises the question of who will take his place. The Visitor has complied his list for all the Michigan folks out there. Today, we start with "The Hat."

1. Les Miles - head coach LSU

Experience:
LSU - Head Coach (2005-Present)
Okie St - Head Coach (2001-2004)
Dallas Cowboys - Asst coach (1998-2000)
Okie St - Asst coach (1995-1997)
Michigan - Asst coach (1987-1994)
Colorado - Asst coach (1982-1986)

Positives: Les Miles is logically the choice of the alumi base in Ann Arbor. He played at Michigan, he coached under Bo Schembechler and has experience as a head coach in big time NCAA football. He wants to get back to the Big Blue. He also had a strong record against Stoops and Oklahoma in the Bedlum Series.

Negatives: The timing is terrible. Miles is coaching his own team right now that sits at #1 in the polls. If you wait to hire him until after the season you leave a solid recruiting class sitting around wondering what will happen. Not a good thing. He is also a bit of a basket case, calling timeouts when you don't need to (see Tenn game 2005). His Freudian slips surrounding Alabama, the Pac-10 conference, and the Louisiana city of Monroe have not made him any friends. Snoop Dogg, a USC Trojan fan, quickly slayed the Miles dragon with his pleasant and classy response. I must issue a STRONG warning, however, as this audio file contains language not suitable for everyone. Its amazing that the cerebral ramblings of a rapper still won the verbal sparring match with Mr. Miles.

Probability: 80%

Godzilla or Les Miles??
