A source speaking to GoBlueWolverine on the condition of anonymity confirmed that Michigan reached out to the agent of LSU coach Les Miles.

The former Michigan player and coach had seen his named mentioned in two prior searches the first of which saw him be mentioned on a national broadcast as having accepted the job. The report proved untrue and over that time Michigan sunk into a sea of inconsistency while Miles led his Tiger program four top five finishes including a national championship (2007) and national champion runner-up (2011), another finish in the top 10 and three more in the top 20 before this year.

Webb also reports that there has been no official word as to whether or not coach Miles will reciprocate Michigan's interest.

Michigan: Michigan has reached out to Les Miles’ agent tonight according to Sam Webb, who covers Michigan football. Combine this with a report today that they have reached out to David Cutcliffe and it sounds like Michigan is trying to kick their search into gear. For what it’s worth, sources close to Cut and Les we have spoken with do not expect significant talks with Michigan.
