Not sure if he would have maintained the Success that he has had at LSU while at Ok. state. Can't think of any reason he would have stayed at OSU though. I do think he would have michigan top 10 year in and year out, with his offensive system, had he been hired over Rich Rod. I bet michigan knowing what they know now would have sent a blank check to him . I expected 8-4 or 9-3 if Les finishes 9-3 then this will be one of his best years coaching at LSU playing with so many young players

Well they offered him the job twice and he said no thanks both times.. but yea OK state is no LSU so I do think he would be there.

Almost certainly.

But it wasn't going to happen after this:



Could that possibly have been 7 years ago?

There's reason to believe that Michigan has never ordered the job to Miles. Some Michigan people, like Lloyd Carr and the current AD, didn't want him.

The anti-Miles faction seems to be in disfavor with the Michigan faithful right now, so this year the offer could be forthcoming.

Probably not for the same reasons he is not there now. Michigan wanted to go in a different direction from their past. Miles would be at some other major school doing what he's doing at LSU...recruiting well, winning games a couple championships.

This guy would succeed anywhere.

I believe he was offered the job the first time and declined.

I don't believe he was offered the job the second time.

I believe he will be offered the job again after this season. It's likely the last opportunity he gets to go there, but I think he stays here.

He would have been at Michigan in 07 and 10 if they had made a serious run at him. The issues with Les and UM would still be there regardless of where he was/is the coach. They may get serious this time if Brandon is removed and Harbaugh says no. They are in need of a splash hire at this point and Miles would be it after Harbaugh when realistic candidates are considered. No chance he leaves unless Brandon is out and he gets a lot of assurances from UM that things are different in regards to the admins view of him and make him feel wanted. Love for the school and Bo is very strong pull along with wife being from UM. Kids home is here though so slim chance.
