Per a former Michigan Captain

Not sure I 100% believe it. Definitely an interesting insider grievance with Michigan AD

quote:

As far as Miles is concerned, Brandon flew to Baton Rouge to “talk to Les Miles,” while talking to Les at the Baton Rouge Airport he proceeded to tell Miles why he wasn’t going to offer the gig. Including “I can’t afford you.


And yet Hoke now makes almost as much as Les does

I think Harbaugh let it be known the NFL was his next stop
I think Miles is probably too much like Lloyd Carr to ever get that job, his chance was in 2007 when he probably could have had it if he wanted it. At this stage, Michigan would want someone younger than Miles.

LSU can afford Miles, but Michigan can't?

Michigan has fallen to the doldrums of college football. These two "Michigan Men" may view it as their duty to resurrect the program.

Michigan people have to explain their situation to themselves somehow.

This is called rationalization.
