Maybe he told Michigan he would be the Head Coach after the NC game.
What else would the guy say with just 3 weeks away from the game.
SMOKESCREEN?

Les did sign an extension, sometime within the month before he left for LSU, but apparently at the time he signed, the LSU job was not open because Saban didn't announce until Dec. 25.
LSU contacted Miles around December 26 or 27th. Miles never said anything other than I love it at OSU. He did not seek LSU out; LSU sought him out. He did not have an offer from LSU until Jan. 1 or Jan. 2. LSU spoke with him in San Antonio, where OSU was playing in the Alamo Bowl. He returned to Stillwater on Dec. 31, but he did not have an offer from LSU at that time. Once discussions began with LSU, he never denied interest in the LSU job nor affirmed his interest in the job during any press interviews or statements. He simply did not address questions about the issue. But because he did not have an offer before Jan. 1, and probably not formally until Jan. 2, there was nothing to say but what he said at the time.
But he never said "I am staying at OSU, I have no interest in the LSU job, I will be the coach at OSU next season." At least no press reports I can find from that time said so. They all indicated that he did not deny or affirm his interest in LSU.
