Speaking about the head coaching position at Michgan and offering the job are not the same thing. There is reason to believe that Martin is being sent there to tell Les personally and privately why he is not going to be the choice.
They would have communicated this to him before now, so that he could publicly withdraw his name from consideration. Michigan has nothing to gain from the chaos surrounding LSU, IF they weren't intent on hiring Les, which I believe that they are and that they will.
I don't think that it will be for $3.25m/year or whatever Les could squeeze out of this from LSU (which I don't believe that he is consciously doing), but obviously the man is not making this particular move solely for the money. He will want to make a market wage, and I think Michigan will recognize that they need to pay $2.25m to $2.75m/year for the new coach, and maybe Les is in the higher end of that, but we'll see.

Maybe, but again, I am sure was a candidate. That is A CANDIDATE. Not the only candidate. But until the advisory committee and the Admin. weighed-in on his candidacy who was to tell him he wasn't going to get the job. And that hadn't happened until after the Tuesday night meeting of Mich advisory committee, the Admin and the AD. Now do you tell Les then he didn't get the job, right before the SEC CG (given his emotional reaction to his possible candidacy), or wait until that is past and then let him down.
Many on this board and on others are convinced that he would crawl to Ann Arbor over broken glass to get the job and that possibility caused him huge distraction and lost LSU a NC shot. What reaction do you think the news that he in not going to get the job would evoke? And do you want that before the SEC CG game?

When a reporter asks a question, there is no requirement to answer. There is no jail for not answering. So why did Miles answer when asked about Mich? And if he was to answer all he had to say was he knew Lloyd, coached with Lloyd and has great respect for his leadership of the Michigan program. But that he is focused solely on Ark, the SEC CG and what ever lies beyond that for LSU and his team. And that he hoped for a chance at the ultimate prize PERIOD!
And that would have made sense, because it is now clear that he had not had any contact from Mich., formal or informal, from anyone in authority to suggest he was a candidate at all.
People do dumb things some times, Miles threw himself under the bus here and dragged LSU, his team and Mich with him. Clearly, it is beyond fixing at this point. The best avenue would seem to press forward and for LSU to do what is best for LSU. For Mich to do what is best for Mich. And for Les to salvage what is best for Les.
God only knows where that will leave everybody.
