The funny, and deluded, part of the whole article is when they start pissing and moaning about how it was all about money and that it was never about money with Bo, Gary Moeller, or Carr.
If nothing else, this shows the arrogance of the Michigan fanbase.
which is why I said repeatedly that I didnt think UM would pay:
$1.25mm for the buyout
$1+mm to get rid of the 2008 contracts for carr's assts
$3.0mm for 5 years for Miles
their arrogance would have them saying WHY do we have to pay all this money for a coach? we are Michigan
and dont lose sight of the fact that they are pissed they arent getting him AFTER he won the SEC CG. It wasnt quite such a big deal to get Miles before he won the SECCG

I couldn't get past the first few paragraphs without being totally disgusted.
I'm sure this guy thinks he is a "true" Michigan fan and that he has more respect for the Wolverines than Miles. Replace Michigan with Alabama and this could have been written last year by a gump when they were turned down by a few candidates.

Miles showed what he is all about by taking the bigger money to stay in Baton Rouge.

The guy and his kinship to Ann Arbor was a smokescreen for a bigger payday from day one.

If he really wanted the Michigan job or intended to stay at LSU, why didn't he have the class and character to be up front from day one? Why? Because most college coaches are prostitutes for the bigger payday. Most are insecure men who use players and schools for money and fame.

Supah,
Please remember the buyout of 1.25 equates to 2 million. It's genius. Michigan couldn't pay LSU the buyout fee directly.
Since it is written that Les would have to pay LSU personally, then his agent would ask for an extra $2,000,000 from Michigan. Why? Because whatever Big Blue would compensate LES is a taxable event.
He would need to get $2 million to cover the taxes and the buyout fee PLUS his annual salary. We aren't even talking about the state taxes. Do you really think they would pay Les $2 million PLUS whatever the negotiated first year salary was. We are talking about $5 million. Not likely.
