The issue with Miles to UM that's not being discussed

Everyone's aware the Michigan is a better job than LSU. Although UM is down currently, they have superior history and a much higher ceiling than LSU. That much isn't up for debate.

However, the part that's not being discussed is the job quality improvement Miles would see by leaving LSU. As we've all seen, Miles is subject to more unreasonable scrutiny than any other coach in college football. He's brought LSU to two national championship games and has the 2nd best record in the SEC in the past 10 years, but that's still not enough. When you have a rabid, low information fan base nipping at your heels at every turn, it puts a severe damper on job quality. Why do you think Miles has resorted to nonsensical babbling at press conferences? He's obviously a smart man, it's a ploy to avoid the mouth foaming backlash he gets for every misstep, winning or not.

To be able to stop away from this toxic situation for an actual, not perceived, top 10 football program and his alma mater will mean more than whatever LSU can muster up to offer him. UM's short-term expectations are currently shattered which makes this the right time to make the move. Miles will be Michigan's next head coach.
