Les Miles (grass eater)

The program has a lot to offer an up and coming coach like Herman, but with the way the Administration has treated Miles, you have to wonder if they haven't scared away anyone who isn't toting Petrino-sized baggage (looking at you, Briles). With the other high-profile jobs that are likely/possibly coming open this year (USC, Notre Dame, Texas, Auburn, Penn State, just to name a few), I wouldn't be surprised to see Herman pass on Baton Rouge......

Les Miles turned down Michigan offer in 2011, says Skip Bertman

Les Miles turned down an offer to coach at his alma mater, Michigan, in 2011. So says former LSU athletic director Skip Bertman.

"Les Miles turned that job down for more money at Michigan. He turned it down," Bertman said Wednesday during a two-hour interview on the "Sports Today" radio show on Baton Rouge's ESPN Radio affiliate, 104.5 FM. "He would never say that because he's a very humble guy. But I was there; he turned it down."

"I swear to God that's true. He turned it down," Bertman said. "LSU had just given him this new contract, and the president of Domino's Pizza flew down on a Domino's plane and offered him [the Michigan job], and he says, 'You've got to tell me tonight, Les, because if you don't say yes, I'm going to get Brady Hoke.' And sure enough, he took off and the next day you read in the paper that he hired Brady Hoke."
