Herbstreit was 100% correct when he reported that Miles was going to Michigan.

On the Friday prior to the SEC Championship game against Tennessee, Miles and Michigan agreed in principle that Miles would become the new Michigan coach. It was going to be announced on Monday after the SEC Title game. LSU found out and countered with a big raise and extention, but it was too little, and too late.

But then .......... a couple of things got in the way of all that. LSU beat Tennessee, Pitt upset West Virginia in Morgantown, and OU destroyed Missouri. The media started analyzing the BCS standings and realized that they had Virginia Tech (a team LSU destroyed) ranked above LSU and they had Georgia (a team that didn't win their own division and who got destroyed by Tennessee, who LSU just beat) ranked above LSU. So.... LSU went from #7 in the BCS standings to #2 and were in the National Title game playing Ohio State.

There was no way that a coach with a team playing for the National Title was going to leave his team. Michigan was not going to wait until after the BCS Title game for their new coach.

So....... On Sunday, Miles took his name out of the Michigan hat, Michigan was still looking,and Herbstreit looked like an idiot.

Sounds like a tin foil hat is in your wardrobe. Strangely enough it doesn't sound far fetched but still
