My brother is a Spartan alum, and he sent me this from the Spartantailgate board:
Ok guys, here's the scoop I heard today. As some of you know, my good friend has a close associate from his days with the Pistons who now works in the scUM athletic department.
Yesterday, the news I got to share with everyone was UM's potential interest in Glen Mason. Well, there is still smoke coming from the Mason story within UM circles. The word I am getting is that it is highly unlikely that Hoke gets this job. The emerging number one target is Les Miles (as I see is being discussed here already). However, Miles will not speak with scUM until after the bowl game Friday night - but it sounds like he will speak with them, which seems to make him a great possibility. Mason is quietly hanging in the wings, and if Miles is not hired, I would put my money on Mason before Hoke right now.
Now, as we learned from our recent coaching search, any post that starts out with "My good friend works at..." is almost certainly BS. And if these bozos insist on hiring a "Michigan Man", I really doubt they hand the reins to a guy who lettered under Woody Hayes. But it is possible that the Hoke and Miles factions in their power base cancel each other out. Not that Glen has a snowball's chance in hell. And given how crappy SCum's defense has been these past 3 years, Mason is the last guy you'd want rebuilding the team.
