A reliable source has told me that Les Miles did indeed receive an offer from Michigan last night, but it was not good enough to leave Baton Rouge for Ann Arbor. This would contradict reports that Michigan was not really interested in Miles or that Michigan did not make an offer to him.

Now that we have that behind us, the only question remains: Will Les replace Gary Crowton?

This makes a lot more sense than Miles being a "smokescreen". That would serve no purpose. If they wanted Hoke, there was no need to put on a show.

Clearly they wanted Miles.

I am surprised Michigan held back after all of that, "We'll do what it takes..." talk.

Miles must be happy @ LSU and told them what it would take to get him, whereupon they said, " "

Kind of like me with my '68 Chebby.

I'm glad he's staying!

Any word on whether he was low balled or not?

Makes sense to me.

They didn't fly all the way down here to taste the grass.

They thought they had a shot at him, IMO.

If true, then Michigan's AD deserves to be fired.

Chicken, what is your source? I realize you can't give a name, but is this someone in the Athletic department? Someone high up in TAF? Someone else?

Those "reports" were stupid. As much as some folks like to think this happens, institutions looking to fork over multiple millions of dollars don't engage in elaborate pure charades in doing so.

Is it so hard to understand that they offered les considerably less than what he makes, knowing he would not take it!!!

Why does everyone want to feel like Les is actually wanted somewhere else?

Chicken,

I spoke with Detroit Free-Press reporter, who told me Brandon delibertely low-balled the offer to Les because he really didn't want him. I find that hard to believe, but he stands by his sources.
