I don't know is this has a place in this thread since it is purely rumor. If not, I apologize and delete if necessary. This is from my scUM fan brother-in-law and, if true, it makes sense with respect to Boren leaving. Maybe the local scUM contributors can shed some light. He said this after I shared with him what I learned from this thread, that Boren sent out feelers as early as January:

The rumor in AA is his old man was reassured that Miles was going to be taking over before he even signed with UM, that was supposedly what the Bo meeting was all about. Remember Lloyd was sick and new he was leaving, it was supposed to be a done deal that Miles was coming. I wonder if any of that would have been different if Bo hadn't died. I really would like to know the truth regarding the Miles hiring. Anyway, I heard that he looked to transfer as soon as Miles didn't get the job.

He also went on to defend RR and his staff's treatment of Boren, explaining that Boren didn't like the "in your face" style of his new OLine coach, as he called it, or IYF as it is known up there. I just couldn't imagine that this kid who has played this sport at almost every level would not be used to being pushed, corrected, reprimanded, yelled at, cussed at, etc. Something happened that really turned him off, IMO.
