Here's what he's thinking.
"Hell no, I'm not going to Miami to be a second tier coach to my old boss at Florida. But I will take this opportunity to squeeze every dollar I can out of my upcoming contract extension and take as much publicity as i can get for MSU"
Dan is a winner, and a winner always is thinking about how to get better in everything they do. That includes recruiting clout. This also includes his personal salary. If he says he's not taking the job he loses the leverage with his boss for maxing out his contract. He also ends the discussion of him and MSU in the national spotlight. It's the same reason he does not give out injury reports at the beginning of the week. He doesn't want opposing coaches to have any additional information to game plan with.
Dan's not going anywhere, but he won't turn down the Miami gig until he has milked it for all its worth for himself personally and for MSU
