I've heard this from multiple sources as well - as rumors go, it probably has legs. However, it may all have originated from the same source. That is a reason given for Saban making the "I'm not going to be the coach at Alabama" gaffe, because he thought he was coming back to LSU, and was negotiating with Bama to have a number for LSU to match. When Option A fell through, he went with Option B. Jimmy "Can't Lose" Sexton cackles somewhere in 1 of his money vaults like a cross between Emperor Palpatine, Scrooge McDuck and Bob Sugar.

I may be inclined to believe Skip was trying, but I really doubt Saban was doing anything outher than a courtesy by listening. Even though some on this board still clamor for Saban to be our coach, most would have told him to F*** off if he wanted to come back to the place he tried to leave for 3 straight years.

Saban was already the coach at Bama when all of this went down, but nice try though.

So some of you think that Herbie put his reputation on the line and Miles called a press conference before the SEC title game for the hell of it, and there was no interest from Michigan?

Seems like their was mutual interest between Miles and Michigan and Michigan botched the deal.
