I am just amazed that only three names are popping up...and only 2 of them have any merit (miles, ferentz).
In the entire country, there are no other strong candidates in the mix??!! Not that I want scUM to get a good coach, but it doesnt make sense to me. I dont keep track of coaches around the league, but there has to be some strong performing coaches or NFL assistants interested/qualified for the job......
Which is also why I dont understand Kelly even being mentioned...by the networks even...

I have no idea how to judge the truthiness of this post from HawkeyeLounge.com helpfully linked in the comments of the last post, but it looks like we might get resolution on this Ferentz thing soon: I have a decent source connected to the Michigan athletic department. He stated to me in an in e-mail this evening that Ferentz had been offered the job and this evening he accepted. The final details and announcement will come in 24-48 hours. Disclaimers follow... MH check your PM and I'll explain this one to you. I'm not convinced on this, but this source has credibility. I hope he's not playing me. I'll take the heat if this is wrong. ...but after the standard "this means nothing... nothing!" response, a couple posters vouch for this guy; the forthright admission of doubt makes me place a bit more faith in the information, ironically. (Obviously, this is nothing close to solid.)
Another point of confirmation (about the offer, not a potential acceptance) comes from the RCMB. One of the posters there is an editor at an Iowa newspaper; he claims that two separate media sources are telling him Ferentz has an offer.

I had two independent sources call me tonight and tell me they had heard Ferentz has indeed accepted the job.
We'll see what happens tomorrow.

I still find this very very hard to believe. If Ferentz accepted, I have to believe UM sources would be all over this tonight.

Wow. tRCMB strikes again!
The meltdown in weaseltown will be shortlived as their followers drink the urine flavored kool-aid. Even big moran will change his arrogance to fit this "unexpected" outcome.
Watch the 180 that is sure to come.

That's why I said "they had heard."
Personally, I'm not buying it yet, either.

Would Ferentz have a motive to leak this himself? Make Iowa feel grateful to him? I just find it funny all the rumors are coming from this end.

One of my contacts said he'd heard it from someone close to Martin, but it sounded like a lot of assumptions and speculation.
I don't doubt Michigan is interested or even that Ferentz has been offered, but I can't see him making a decision of this magnitude so quickly.

I'm serious about this point: how can SCum get away with hiring Ferentz or Miles this quickly without at least interviewing one minority candidate. Not that they should be required to do so, but, certainly, that is the mandated "procedure" that has been imposed by the race lobby.
For that reason alone I would discount these Ferentz rumors.

Ron English...
Besides, there are no minority hire rules in the NCAA like there are in the NFL.

Maybe they already interviewed the token minority in the form of Ron English.

How often have coaches directly switched teams inside the same conference? that's what seems oddest to me.

Ernie,
How little do you know about about Big Ten contracts? Ferentz is already #1 or #2 in Big Ten pay. Ferentz is getting $2.7 million per year from Iowa. That is double what MSU pays Dantonio and about what Carr was getting in aa.
If Ferentz is the guy it makes some sense. umaa prez Mary Sue Coleman is an active president when it comes to college athletic and she spearheaded the Ferentz hiring at Iowa. Carr and Ferentz have a good relationship. Carr and Norm Parker, the Iowa DC have a great relationship. Contrast that with the reportedly luke warm relationship of Carr and Miles.
But then Kelly's agent had him going to Iowa State and MSU before he landed at Cincy and no one expected Lou Holtz to be replaced by Spurrier at SC.

It would certainly be a brilliant PR move -- he could come out tomorrow and say, "I'm staying at Iowa" without delving into the details any further, when maybe Michigan wasn't interested all along.
It would go against what a lot of my neutral, reliable and unbiased contacts have told me, but who knows. Stranger things have happened.

Don't know how old you are, but Perles did not "makeup a job offer". They were legit offers from the Packers and Jets. If you want to call KF a liar like big moran so be it, but don't call Perles a liar cause he was not.
I hope KF takes the job so that the weasel meltdown begins...

I question how little you know dumb ass. Ferentz by most accounts is a control freak. The guy has issues with Iowa press corps when they ask simple questions so what happens when this guy moves to a major market? I dont think the guy has the temperment to properly handle the scrutiny that goes with the Michigan job. Ferentz does make some sense, he has a connection to Coleman and he is a proven coach. I agree with Big M, when all the smoke is coming out of the Iowa end then I call into question the legitimacy of the rumour. Maybe this guy wants the AD job. Who knows, the guy apparently is the highest paid Big Ten coach and seems to have the ego to match it.

Are you so sure about that? I dont recall the Jets or Packers stating Perles was there first choice. At a minimum, Perles used these so called offers as leverage to get higher pay and more power.

VB, I've got a family member on the Iowa staff. If this is true, Ferentz hasn't informed anyone.
I guess we'll find out tommorrow, but if he hasn't told his coaching staff as of 10:30 PM, I find this hard to believe.

Positive about that. He actually accepted one if not both jobs and then retracted his acceptance. I reallty wish he would have taken that Jets job.
MSU and the BoT at that time made him the offers to come back for more money and yes, the AD job.
That pissed off rest stop Biaggio and the rest is history. Merrily Dean Baker and the slippery slope started.
