Michigan fans want Harbaugh or die.

"My fondness, the lessons that I learned, the people I enjoyed back there, does not equate to a necessity that I coach there," Miles said. "Just because I'm loyal and care and recognize that the credential of Michigan really has marked my life, I can't go by the sincerity and the authenticity of the people that I represent here in the state of Louisiana. It's just too important."

I also heard him say "Michigan is no longer the place I remember".  I'll bet there are a handful of long in the tooth boosters who took offense when the job was offered to him the first time around...

“Michigan football was a family, built on mutual respect and support for each other from (former) Coach (Lloyd) Carr on down. We knew it took the entire family, a team effort, and we all worked together. I have great trouble accepting that those family values have eroded in just a few months. That same helmet, that I was raised on and proudly claimed for the last two years, now brings a completely different emotion to me, one that interferes with practicing and playing my best and mentally preparing for what is required.

“That I am unable to perform under these circumstances at the level I expect of myself, and my teammates and Michigan fans deserve, is why I have made the decision to leave. To those of you outside the program, the loyal Michigan fans and alumni, I know you will have trouble understanding, but I do want to thank you for your years of support. I wish my teammates the best and will always be proud to have been a part of Michigan football over the past two years.”
