The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Monday, [December 3, 2007 - 7A MILES From Page 1A only offer that the coach eventu- ally had to accept. The second reason Miles won't be coaching the Wolverines is former coach Lloyd Carr's opposi- tion to hiring Miles, and a small group of people who agreed with him. Carr said at his final press conference he wasn't going to try to handpick his successor. But he certainly had influence in the search. I suspect Miles knew Carr didn't want him to be the coach and he didn't want Carr, in his new position as an associate ath- letic director, scrutinizing every move Miles made. Miles also worried that Carr and others would persuade Martin not to offer him the job. Martin wanted a face-to-face interview with Miles, just as he had with Beilein, before he hired him. Miles might have thought this need was prompted by Carr and Co. and wondered if he would get a job offer. Martin's old-school approach - the third reason Miles won't coach Michigan - likely hurt the process in other ways, too. Depending on whom you believe, Martin either "played by the rules" and didn't talk to Miles or his agent all week or had the entire deal orchestrated and arranged through back channels but wanted to interview Miles before hiring him. Martin stuck to this strategy and didn't make it absolutely clear to Miles that he was far and away the top choice, even though he knew LSU was negotiating with Miles' agent late in the week, put Miles in an uncomfortable spot. Miles knew he had an offer from LSU, and he knew the offer would beat the potential Michigan offer. The problem was, he didn't know if the Michigan offer would come. I'll return to this in a bit. ESPN analyst (and Ohio State alum) Kirk Herbstreit reported Saturday morning that sources confirmed Miles would take the Michigan job early this week. This report seems to have been the last straw, the fourth rea- son Miles had to accept LSU's one-day-only offer. With an SEC Championship Game to coach and a possible national champion- ship game berth in the balance, Herbstreit's report forced Miles to hold a press conference before the game to debunk the story. But he didn't. Instead, he left some wiggle room, not mentioning Michigan and not saying definitively that he would coach LSU next sea- son. Apparently, Miles's agent attempted to contact Martin, trying to find out if his client was going to get an offer or not. He couldn't reach Martin, and Miles had to accept the LSU offer. Because of Martin's old-school tendencies and a faction, includ- ing Carr, opposed to his hiring, Miles never knew whether he would get the Michigan job. Com- bined with LSU's offer being one- day-only and Herbstreit's report on Saturday morning that forced Miles to say something defini- tive that day, Miles didn't have a choice. He said he was "embar- rassed that (his) name was on ESPN," and he felt for his team, which deserved better than to be left in limbo any longer. "(Michigan's) a proud tradition, and they have to do the things they have to do," Miles said. "I'm for them, and if there's any way I can help them, I'd love to help them. But I'm not going there." No, he's not. But it's not because he didn't want to, and it's not because he's not the right man for the job. Michigan did the things it had to do, and those things lost it Les - the perfect person for the job. A lot of people will read this and think: "Michigan's just being arrogant again. Why would they think that the coach of a top 5 program would take less money for himself and less money for his assistants to come to a program that hasn't won a bowl game in five years?" Because it's Les, that's why. He wanted this job bad. And that's been clear his whole career. It was clear when a former player at Oklahoma State under Miles effectively said that Miles worshipped the 'M,' and that Miles would never truly be a Cow- boy and never be a Tiger. He was always a Wolverine. He wouldn't be completely content until he came home to Ann Arbor. It was clear when LSU put a clause in his contract mentioning just one job in the entire country that would cost Miles a $1.25 mil- lion buyout to take - more than double the amount it would cost him to take any other job. It was clear when Miles con- tinually dodged questions about possibly taking the Michigan job, even when his team was ranked No. 1 in the country and pursuing a national championship. It was clear Saturday morn- ing, when Miles called an impromptu press conference to debunk the report he was leaving for Michigan but didn't debunk anything. And it was clear after LSU's win over Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game Saturday, when Miles got choked up talking about his dream job. "I certainly love Michigan," Miles said. "I will always be a Michigan man.... But I'm not going there. It saddens me, at times. I can't be in two places. I'm in a great place. I'm home." No, he's not. He'd referred to Ann Arbor as "home" previously, and he sounded like he was try- ing to convince himself more than anyone else Saturday that Baton Rouge was home. It's not, and it's likely that he, through no fault of his own, now won't get the chance he deserved more than anyone else - to come home to Michigan. - Bromwich can be reached at dabromwi@umich.edu. PRIMARY From Page 1A Michigan officials defended their early primary, saying it helps provide geographic, racial and economic diversity early in the primary calendar. They also complained that other states that were allowed to hold early votes were receiving preferential treat- ment. "I think it is unconscionable that we continue to grant special treatment to some states in this process," Brewer told the DNC rules panel. Alexis Herman, co-chair of the DNC rules panel, said party lead- ers worked for two years to create a primary calendar that respected the historic roles of Iowa and New Hampshire, while adding geo- graphic and racial diversity by allowing Nevada and South Caro- lina to vote early. Other panel members sympa- thized with Michigan, but they said they must enforce the rules. "While we may not like the rules, if we don't respect the rules, then we are going to have chaos," said committee member Yvonne Gates of Nevada. Both political parties have been struggling to control their chaotic calendars. The Republicans have stripped half the delegates from New Hampshire, Florida, South Caro- lina, Michigan and Wyoming for scheduling early primaries and caucuses. Republican rules don't allow any states to hold nominat- ing contests before Feb. 5. The Republicans, however, haven't set any restrictions on campaigning in states that violate party rules. That has some Demo- crats concerned that they could lose votes in Florida, the fourth largest state, and Michigan, the eighth largest. Former DNC Chairman Don Fowler, a member of the rules panel, said stripping the delegates from Michigan and Florida - and prohibiting candidates from cam- paigning there during the prima- ries - will hurt party-building efforts in those states. Fowler also said that stripping the delegates was unnecessary, since many party insiders believe that theeventualnominee willhave them restored at theconvention. "No one at this table believes that the delegates from Florida and Michigan will be absent from the convention," Fowler told the rules panel. Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) said in a statement: "The threat not to seat the delegates of Michigan and Florida at the Democratic conven- tion is ahollow threat. They willbe seated, and when they are, it will be plain for all to see that the priv- ileged position that New Hamp- shire and Iowa have extracted through threats and pledges from candidates is on its last legs." Under convention rules, a cre- dentials committee controlled by the presidential candidate with the most delegates will verify the legitimacy of delegates. i i I I I I r 1 the milchigan EARLY MOVE-IN. 1115 S.Forest 5 rms./sleeps 6. 2 showers, dishwshr, prk- ing, 1dry, $3250/mo. 734-260-4003.
