offered the Michigan job? I understand that Herbstreit came out and made the breaking story that turned out to be untrue, but let's be honest here. I seriously have my reservations believing Les was even offered. Many within the Michigan program claimed he was never offered, and those that follow it closely most often agreed.

Just cause Bertman may have fell for it, doesn't mean he was actually even approached.

That said, it doesn't really matter. I just think everyone assuming Les would even get offered the job now is silly, especially considering he may not have even been offered it last time.

Some Michigan people swear he was never offered the job. There are still some Michigan people who seem to want him however. Or did. Probably never know the real story

Probably just a lot of hype from Michigan fans or maybe some preliminary discussions....whatever the case it's too late now

The question is: why is it so important to you that the story not be true that you return to an 07 event and seek a discussion of something that "it doesn't really matter"?

I doubt very seriously he was offered the job. It's almost certain there were discussions between his people and their people about it, but no definite offer was likely made.

There are a ton of stories out there on this situation but at least the one that I have heard was that Miles wanted to wait until after LSU's season was over to announce anything. Michigan was willing to wait until Kirky decided he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Then the whole thing blew up, Miles had to save face with LSU and Michigan decided to look elsewhere. I don't even remember RR's name being thrown in the mix until after the whole Les thing happened. No one will ever really know the full and true story but I guess look at it this way....if things with RR don't work out and Les is called up to Michigan, you could probably assume he was offered or at least considered for the position in 07.
