Do you think Miles ever showed real interest in Michigan job?

Everybody likes to give herbstreit shite for his premature report of Miles' departure in 07 but I find it hard to believe he would report with that much confidence if there weren't some serious conversations. Do you think Miles just used Michigan for leverage? They didn't offer him enough money? Never showed any interest in the job? Just curious on the rant's opinions

pretty much feel he was gone had Herbie not made that statement on gameday that morning.
after that, Miles was basically just out to prove him wrong.

If we don't make the SECCG that year he's gone and we have Saban back.

Miles is the one pulling the strings in Ann Arbor this year. He's coaching both teams as of today and that is how great he really is.
The coach of Michigan is just a figure head duh!

I think he was gone but Herbstreit saved him from leaving.

All of his kids thinks Louisiana is home, even tho 3 out of 4 were born in other states. I saw an interview with his wife and she said that the kids hates the Winter up North. When they go see family in Ohio and Michigan.

Herbie is well connected in Big 10 country and I think it was a done deal. However, the leak right before the SECCG killed the deal and with the SEC and potential NC on the line, Miles had no choice. I don't think he was much of a candidate this last time around.
I wonder if Herbie leaked the info purposely to help OSU and to sabotage the UM hire. He knew that would kill the deal.

Anyone in Atlanta staying at the Martiott knows the story.

Sorry I'm not as cool as you are.
But to clarify, I never said I wanted Saban back. I only said that I think he would be back if we weren't in the SECCG. Nick Saban was coming off an independence bowl win 7-6 season and was definitely liable to leave. Nobody could've expected a 12-0 season the next year.
I think if we're not in the SECCG then Michigan hires Miles away and we hire Saban back. Glad it didn't happen though.

If you think for a second LSU could touch Alabama in a bidding war, you are seriously mistaken.
If you think Saban longed so fondly for his time in Baton Rouge that he would become a pariah AGAIN by leaving after a year for another job, you are just wrong.
And the 2008 run was very foreseeable if you followed recruiting well enough back then. The Tuscaloosa Ticket was already paying off with its SEC catbird seat, and it was clear that the monster there far outweighed the giant in BR.
ETA: And I definitely thought all year that Miles would leave for Michigan. I tend to think that Herbstreits report did less to keep him in BR than LSU jumping into the NCG did.
Even in his presser that morning he said "ask me AFTER". Focusing on beating OSU for the title was all he wanted to focus on, and I honestly think he passed on his dream job in Ann Arbor to bring that crystal ball to BR.
Whatever it was, I'm extremely thankful it happened the way it did and stayed with the good guys

Absolutely not! Not from the people that mattered in the hiring. Talk to anyone with UM athletic/university admin connections and you will find out that answer quick. If they had he would have walked each time.
