Not quite true, as far as I know.

Miles would owe us about $250,000 if he left for any job except Michigan, which is chump-change as far as a head coach's salary goes, but it's still more than him being able to walk away for free.

Which is why i followed what i said up with this:

The schools need to swing this back our way using large buyouts to keep these coaches committed.


These buyouts need to be huge. 250,000 is peanuts in coaching. Hell, if Bertman sneezed at his desk and his pen moved across the ledger, he could wipe out $250,000 without even missing it.

But i know he would miss it.

Not trying to be a smart arse, but he would owe us 500K for any job except Mich, which would be 1.25 million. I personally think it should be more, but he had the upper hand in negotiations. I think his main concern was compensation if he got fired, after all, he did back out of consideration for his long time dream job, and realizes how fickle fan bases/boosters can be.
