Is it true that Miles wanted to go to UM in 07 but their AD messed it up?

Some UM clowns on reddit are convinced that Les wanted to go there in '07 and '11 but their AD "messed it up both times."

They're saying things like "Les would never say no to Michigan" and "it wasn't his choice to stay at LSU"

These dipshits are delusional, correct?

probably, I mean everyone in the nation was saying Miles to UM in 07 than he came out and shut all that down.

Either Miles was lying or someone is just trying to shine a negative light on Miles. I'll go with the later.

Miles was not about to leave LSU right before we played in the national championship game.

He turned them down in 11. Their AD flew to BR but it turned into a consulting trip instead

AD screwing up the Miles process has been a rumor for quite some time. It's gotten new legs because:

a) the current AD (and the one that supposedly boned the 2011 effort) is on his way out;

b) Hoke (the 2011 hire) is not far behind.

The planets have never really been aligned for Miles to bolt to UM; however, this could be different. LSU's on its way to possibly its worst record during Miles' tenure and UM would be begging for him.

I think Miles leaves in 2007 if Herbie doesn't try to break the news in the pre-game interview. Clearly, I can't prove it, but I think it pissed Miles off and after he gave that interview, he backed himself into the corner of staying.

Michigan has never truly courted Miles like, say, Texas courted Saban. If Michigan wants Miles, they have to treat him like the Savior. And I don't think they are prepared to do that. Maybe things have gotten so bad there, they are at the point, though. But he can't be A candidate, he has to be THE candidate if they want to get him.
