New Orleans Times-Picayune: Les Miles will be at a press conference this morning, but it's not about Michigan

LSU football coach Les Miles, rumored to be among the candidates for the Michigan football coaching opening, will be at a press conference this morning as Tigers cornerback Patrick Peterson will announce he's headed to the NFL.

Miles, who has a contract with LSU through 2014 and earns $3.751 million per year, also will be in Dallas on Tuesday to speak to the American Football Coaches Association convention, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Speculation about Miles' future at LSU has not abated, even though assistant coaches called Tigers recruits on Sunday to assure them that Miles remained a part of the LSU program.
