re: Michigan said "No" to Miles

What is classified as an "offer?"

Is being offered a job only if the contract is typed out or whatever and slid across the table or is an offer just to talk to Les Miles about employment at Michigan?

Do I think UM came down this past year with a contract for Miles to sign or at any point typed out a contract? No. But I do think they came down cause they were interested very much in getting Miles. Herbstreit heard something from someone high up in 07 to go out on a limb and say "Miles will be Michigan's next head coach." You can hate Herbie all you want, but the guy had reason to believe Miles was heading north. So in 2011 we are supposed to believe that this same school that flew down to BR to talk with Miles was not reasonably interested in Miles?

The only reason I bring this offer thing up is I have Michigan friends who can't seem to admit Miles was wanted by Michigan in any shape or form. Maybe it's their way of saving face.

Just my 2 cents.
