Outside of Michigan would any other big name program want Miles?

Question in the title.
While Miles has sustained a winning program at LSU, he has over the last couple of years taken jabs from the media, fanbases, etc. and his desirability as a coach dropped.
If he goes to Michigan and doesn't meet their high expectations in the few years they'll give him and is fired, would Les be able to land a head coaching gig at a top name program again?
Anyone think this factors into his decision? He makes good money here and, IMO, would have better job stability here over the next few years than at michigan. Michigan offers instability, lackluster instate recruiting, coupled with the absence of defensive talent on the team. It'll take more than a few years to turn that program around and I'm not sure the Michigan fanbase is willing give that amount of time. Coaching at Michigan could be signing a head coach death sentence as far as top name programs until Michigan comes to grips with its situation.
I'm not saying he wouldn't be a head coach anywhere, but a head coach at a big program?

The only place that would be a marked step up would be Texas and that's only because they can pay unbelievable coin....

Define "big name" program. Do you mean one in a BCS conference?

No he could land a job at the Pitts, colorados, ole misses of the world. But I don't see him landing a job at the "big names" in college football today or those who have been big names in the past. I.e., your michigans, alabamas, floridas, oregons etc., etc.
