The Detroit Free Press gets the band back together:

Louisiana State coach Les Miles appears to be a Michigan coaching candidate again.
Miles had a phone conversation Friday morning with Michigan athletic director Bill Martin and school president Mary Sue Coleman, according to several people with knowledge of the call.

Michigan received permission Nov. 28 from LSU athletic director Skip Bertman to speak with Miles, as long as it was after the Dec. 1 SEC championship game. So asking LSU again for permission was not an issue; U-M is believed to have initiated Friday's call.

Bertman is quoted in that article (and many others) as saying "it's over, really over, don't come sniffing around my man again you two-bit tram," or words to that effect, but the rumor going around (link is, full disclosure, going to my home blog) is that Miles actually has a significant job offer from Michigan at the moment and he's considering it.

No doubt this would/will cause a round of media caterwauling, as these things always do, but what do you expect when your big contract signing doesn't increase the buyout for Michigan?

I heard they did contact him, but he told them again to look somewhere else. He is not going to be their coach.

Well, where there's smoke, there's fire. But if he does jump at this point, after denials and the contract extension, he's a classless git.

I agree, but I already thought that, I think he wants to coach at michigan, who wouldnt, its a prestige college football program, I think their first offer to him was a joke and thats why he declined but I think theyre giving him a much better offer now. Michigan is realizing you actually have to pay for coaches now, if theyre gonna have to pay get a coach might as well get one whos worth it..
