Off the top of my head...

Les Miles to Michigan per Kirk Herbstreit

Rick Neuheisel to Bama per Buck Belue

Tuberville to Ark per local Little Rock news station in '08

What's some other good ones?

That fail was on Bill Martin. It was happening until Les couldn't reach Martin because he was out sailing.

I love how half of Michigan fans say Miles was ready to accept and the other half say he never got an offer.

He got an offer the first time. Not the second.

I thought a fan who pretended to be Desmond Howard had something to do with the Les to Michigan story breaking.

You got it backwards. Lloyd Carr blocked the Les Miles deal in 2007. In 2010 Les was much more marketable, but he was going to stay at LSU.

Its a book. I was looking around google hoping that some of it got put on the internet.

A great read for any college football fan, not just Michigan fans.

Fox 10 in Mobile and Fox 8 in New Orleans

ETA: Funny thing is had either of the news managers talked to their GMs first (one of which was a big Auburn booster, the other had strong Auburn ties), they would have known it was a flat out lie. Jobs were lost on that day

So he got an offer and decided to take it, but because he couldn't get in touch with someone in his AD office, he decided to turn it down?

Well that makes a ton of sense.

ETA: And Im not saying it wasnt true, just saying it's pretty ridiculous.

Ya. Herbie went public with the info and forced Les' hand because of the timing.
