And that is why he did not go to Michigan after the 2010 season.

that and not being offered the job

Michigan keeps looking for coaches at the exact wrong time for Miles.

I actually completely disagree and think it's the absolute perfect time for Miles...

I fully believe he was gone in 2007 and something changed then we moved up in the MNC and he decided to stay.

Say what you will about herbstreet but he wouldn't have gone with that if it wasn't true

The defense will be great next year, but I don't think the offense will improve enough to contend for the sec. Unless miles just changes his philosophy to a uptempo aggressive spread run first attack similar to AU.

I think now is the time to go if miles ever had a notion of going back to his alma mater. It's now or never.

Just like it was supposed to be stacked going into 2008 with Perriloux playing QB

I can agree with the "bad timing" observation, but I don't think 2007 was bad timing because of what was expected out of the 2008 team. LSU was losing a ton from the 2007 team that competed for(and eventually won) the NC. The bad timing was what happened late in the 2007 season

I fully believe that Herbstreit wasn't that far off base in Dec. 2007 when he declared Miles to Michigan. The problem was that everything broke as Miles was about to lead his team into the SECCG. Obviously you could tell in his now famous presser that he was aggravated about the Michigan talk. We all know what happened next. The stars aligned allowing LSU to play for the NC. Miles couldn't leave while preparing for what would be the biggest game in his coaching career. The timing from the SECCG on just wasn't there.
