re: 8 years with Les.....what are your thoughts....

Really Elleshoe? Did u say this? Get a clue or just take down your stupid post and save your embarassment.
Michigan's AD, who is under the gun with his Rich Rod hire, and his seat is on fire offers Miles, who is in the NC, a package that is not better than what he already had? They're freaking Michigan dude one of the true big boys. Thats not the way things work in any business that Im aware of.
Use some common sense or put yourself in their position. Headlines: Miles turns down Michigan offer after being insulted and offered a pay cut! Im sure that would've cooled his seat and made the Michigan alumni proud. You have zero leverage and Miles has all the leverage coming off his NC win and u dont offer him a better package to seal this deal? Im sure Les and his agent were sitting around saying lets both take a pay cut because well just because.
The fact is, the man decided to stay with us and dis his Alma Mater, an easier place to win and for what im led to believe was substantially more money. We should never forget this and he should be applauded for not doing what Nicky, Chippy or Urban wouldve done.
