They've gotten to the point where they think they can sit back and great coaches will flock to them ... Times have changed. If you want a great coach, you better go out, make him feel wanted, and get him.
The attitude of Michigan is much like the attitude Notre Dame had before Kelly.
If you don't lay out the red carpet for these great coaches and make them feel wanted, they aren't coming. You can't just sit back and say, "hey, we're Michigan, you'd be lucky to be the coach here."
I'm not necessarily saying they did this to Miles and Harbaugh,but it certainly seems like there is an overriding feel coming out of Michigan that "we're Michigan, the greatest university in the world, and everyone dreams to coach here", and hence the "Michigan man" talk.
It doesn't matter if you are Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan, Penn State or whoever, if you want to reel in the big guns, you better go out and get them because they're not going to line up at your door as they would have in the 70s and 80s.

Their fans here have been great. I feel for em. They know exactly what plagues their program and are powerless to do much about it.
The Hoke hire will be the last of the Carr faction if it fails. Then they will pay a hired gun and their program will return.

And there should be a cautionary moral in this for LSU and every other program that is currently enjoying an extended run of success. It's easy to fall into this kind of arrogance. Just look at some of the "who will we get if Miles goes?" posts from the last week.
