my theory
Michigan offer Miles the job in 2007
Miles accepted the offer in principle
Someone within the Michigan AD leaked the info to ESPN
ESPN reported Miles to Michigan
Miles basically said that if he could not trust Michigan right then and there, that he had no reason to ever trust them at any other time. he then told them no thanks
Michigan has since offered, but I believe Miles is very happy now in his position of competitiveness at LSU and within the SEC

It's also in Miles' contract if he takes a coaching job with Michigan, he would owe LSU one million dollars.
And it explicitly says Michigan.

I thought there was an article in SI or somewhere after the NC game where Miles stated he tried to get Michigan more interested in him being the coach but to no avail. I don't think an offer was ever made and the leak was to pressure the AD and Pres. Into making an offer. But who knows. I just look at the Rich Rod fiasco and the Hoke Luke warm hire and wonder WTH was UM thinking?? if LSU had a relatively young coach who had been in the pros and coached as an asst at major colleges, then proved successful at a mid major at the time, then had an Major college team on the cusp of a NC, I think we would all be going apey to get that person!! And the buyout would be taken care of by TAF or others. Whether you like Miles or not, it is curious.
