It’s being reported that the University of Michigan has reached out to LSU Head Football Coach Les Miles to fill their vacancy for the same position. Two websites that cover Wolverine athletics report that the school has contacted Miles’ agent to see if the LSU coach has interest in the position which was made available after the school fired Brady Hoke. Coach Miles played his college football at Michigan under coach Bo Schembechler from 1974-1975 and also served two stints as an assistant coach there. Miles was linked to the Wolverines last two head coach openings in 2007 and 2010.

Yesterday seemed to be an interesting day at the Saints facility in Metairie. It is reported that a minimum of 10 players were called individually into Head Coach Sean Payton’s office for a “review”. Payton has publicly stated his displeasure in the teams embarrassing loss to the Panthers on Sunday and has stated that he’s not afraid of making whatever changes are necessary to turn things around.

The Saints did waive fourth year wide receiver Joe Morgan yesterday. Morgan has had some physical setbacks in his career. He spent two of his four season on injured reserve due to knee injuries. Morgan has only appeared in five games this season. Morgan had 14 receptions for 471 yards and three touchdowns in his career with the Saints.
