That letter is several weeks old.
This.... He wrote that letter before the season even started.

I truly don't think he was ever offered the Michigan gig. I believe that if/when he is offered the job, he will take it.

Roy Williams is a garbage can...but he is Lester's best friend.

I have a friend with strong Michigan connections. He says all the talk there is about Harbaugh coming.

"I will never leave LSU." Paul Dietzel.
I don't think Les leaves, but you can never say never about anything.

There was an article recently (maybe on ESPN?) revealing that Miles' agent contacted Michigan before they hired Hoke, but Brandon (the AD) didn't return the call.

The talk on the Michigan boards is always about Harbaugh.
There's not a lot of want expressed for Leslie.
That program is in such a mess that I can't imagine why any established, successful coach would want to go there.

He already has a national championship under his belt, and more than enough money to last the rest of his life. Resurrecting his alma mater would be a heck of a capstone to his career. OTOH his family roots are here now. Michigan may be home to him, but BR is home to his kids. I believe he'd think long and hard before he uprooted them for Ann Arbor.

Who was it that came in and ate with Miles at Voodoo BBQ?

Book Excerpt: How Michigan's Coaching Searches Ended Before They Started
After Rich Rod was fired.
quote:
On Friday, December 7, and again on Monday, December 10, Bill Martin, Mary Sue Coleman and Les Miles talked on a conference call. Both conversations were simple and pleasant. During the second call, Coleman said she could not hire Miles without meeting him first, and asked Miles to meet her and Martin in Miami, where Miles had already scheduled a recruiting trip. Miles replied that he could not do any face-to-face meeting until after the national title game. Miles let them know both times, however, that, "If you want me, then after the bowl game, I will be your coach. I just can't do anything before that. [But] I would never say no to Michigan."
But, incredibly, just a few hours after both calls, word had leaked to the media, then started popping up on the blogs, and quickly traveled down to Baton Rouge. Miles was, understandably, upset -- and effectively boxed in.
That night, in what will likely come as a surprise to most fans, West Virginia head coach Rich Rodriguez -- whose Mountaineers had blown their own chance at the national title game when a 4-7 Pittsburgh team upset them 13-9 -- received a call from Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr. Rodriguez recalled they talked for ten or fifteen minutes.
After Rich Rod was fired.
quote:
The one coach who everyone agrees did not receive an offer from Michigan, again, was Les Miles. He had been handled shabbily during the 2007 search, and it appears he wasn't treated much better in 2010, either. All overtures to him were strictly a show designed to appease his supporters. When Rodriguez asked Brandon in December of 2010 if he already had someone lined up, Brandon denied it but said he would hire Les Miles "over my dead body." The rest was theater.
