Why Isn't Les Miles Name Thrown Around More?

The UT job opened up.. We heard Sabans name often (granted he is arguably the best college football coach ever, so not too much of a shock)
The USC job opened up.. Franklin and Sumlin were brought up..
Just 2 examples here I am sure there have been other coaching vacancies.
Why isnt Miles name thrown into the ring more often?
He has LSU playing as a contender year in and year out. He's very entertaining. Passionate coach. Great recruiter.
What gives? I know obviously if you had the chance to take Saban or Sumlin they would be first choices, but Miles should at least be on the short list after that.
Is it his legendary speeches and explanations that is offputting to executive boards? Us fans love them, no doubt. Is it the way he handled the offseason problems? And the problems he has faced in the past? Does he simply have a contract with the devil to stay at LSU forever?
Someone help me here!

He is a Michigan man and the Michigan job has been available twice while he was at LSU. Guess where he still is?
His name doesn't come up because he isn't going anywhere. He is at a premiere location with premiere recruiting.

No other job is a attractive as LSU, for if Lil' Nicky would have been smart enough to not be lead away by the NFL. we would not even be having this thread right now. And Les knows that. Taking another School = Mistake.

Public perception is part of it maybe, plus UM approaches, twice. If he were to leave it would have been there. He's 60 (in November), not going anywhere.

Good question. I know Miles was brought up when Michigan had a vacancy. I think Miles is a good coach; not great or elite though. He has a great job at LSU and wins there consistently.

I respectfully disagree. There are plenty of programs that can offer him more money. and no offense but a better place to live than BR. He has in state talent at his disposal is what I hear alot of people saying, if he is as great of a recruiter as everyone claims than he could keep the LA talent pool and expand it to his new school.
And there are PLENTY of coaches that say "there is no way I am leaving" that doesnt stop schools from calling though...

Such a well constructed sentence. Perfect syntax and excellent grammar. In what year did you get your Ph.D in English?

You mean if Saban stuck it out with the Dolphins? UA would be on their 4th or 5th consecutive major infraction most likely. Why?
And Bubba's Blue&Orange Sports and Gear shop would be doing record sales.

It's simple. The USC and Texas jobs need a complete purge like Bama needed. Michigan for example did not. Miles is not a Nick Saban in your face tear it down build it up. Miles is perfect for taking over a program that needs to take off from where it is. Sumlin iis a sexy young coach pick which would be more risky but a good risk. Miles and Saban are in the Twilight of their careers, Sumlin is just getting started which is also attractive but a risk.

Les Miles is paid top 5 and only 1 of the other 4 coaches ahead of him is likely to lose his job. If by "plenty of programs" I hope you mean 1.
