Not for nothing but If you work with those groups then I can't imagine the department is too wild about one of their employees spouting off about their plans on internet forums.

They don't know a thing. At a big institution like that the only people who are privy to the situation are the AD and their search firm. Coaches that are literally on their staff right this minute don't know what's going on, but I'm sure all-pro sign-maker AsInHowe has the inside scoops.

Like even here at WVU, which is small compared to something like Michigan usually only a few people know what's actually going on when a search or something happens until they're ready to start leaking information out.

Like at MAC and Sunbelt schools you can get poo poo pretty early and often if you care enough to ask around, either due to people not knowing when they should keep their lips shut or just unprofessionalism. At a place like Michigan you're not getting reliable information from anybody or anything.

Very rude imo. He's basically got a direct line to the AD and you are being extremely disrespectful.

I don't get why you guys all have your panties in a twist and are mad at AsInHowe. The most reasonable and logical course is Jim Harbaugh for all parties involved. Saying that he's the most likely candidate is like saying Hillary Clinton will get the Democratic nomination for president in 2016. We don't know for sure, but all signs point to that happening.

To me, it all comes down to the fact that Michigan is taking a relatively long time to make a hiring decision, which I think has two explanations- 1. They have a handshake agreement for Harbaugh, but can't act until his NFL season is done. 2. The Michigan athletic department has absolutely no idea what it's doing in this search. And honestly, after what we've seen that second option isn't too far out there. To steer the conversation away from wild speculation and dogpiling, do we know anything new about how Michigan is going to fill its AD slot? It seems like a bad way to reset your football chain of command by getting a coach and then hoping to get an AD with whom he gets along, especially since a good chunk of the "Harbaugh leaving the 49ers" talk comes from his clashes with upper management there. E: Neodoomium posted:No friend of Brandon will ever be invited to MY birthday party My brother is interning in the AD's IT department, and the head of IT who hired my brother used to work with my mom. Apparently Brandon treated him and his wife really well and would invite them to dinner parties/fundraisers all the time, so he was pretty bummed out when Brandon got fired otherwise I'd be trying to get actual hot scoops out of him.

Deteriorata posted:If Harbaugh comes, I suspect he gets to pick the AD. Letting your brand-new football coach pick your AD seems really dangerous and almost condescending to the other athletic programs at the university. Then again, an athletic department vesting too much power into its football program is nothing new and certainly not a problem isolated to Michigan. If that's the case I would hope that Harbaugh at least talks to some of the other coaches or athletic personnel for their input, but I'm skeptical as to if he would do that.

The AD is likely going to be Brad Bates (friend of Harbaugh) after Hackett (friend of the Harbaugh family) is gone.

At the end of the day, speaking broadly, football is the institutional parasite whose revenues (when applicable) feed the "other athletic program" hyperparasites. So yeah, maybe it could be taken as condescending, but exactly what are the other programs going to do - move to L.A.?

Anyone using privileged information to win an argument is a goober anyhow too, which makes me doubt them anyhow because they're trying to win an argument. That's why I keep my lips shut when arguing about the topics I have the inside info on. That and the part where I'd go to prison. Or at least have to pay such a huge fine that I'd wish I was just in prison.

I haven't seen this discussed here yet - Sam Webb during the MGoBlog Roundtable on Thursday gave two lil nuggs of info that I thought were interesting: (1) he is "very sure" that the "worst case scenario" is Les Miles, who - to his knowledge - will certainly come if asked; and (2) Michigan has limited its list down to four guys. We know the identity of three of those guys with good certainty: 1.) Jim Harbaugh 2.) Les Miles 3.) A Big Ten Coordinator (so that's got to be Herman, but I suppose it could be Narduzzi) 4.) ? Who do you think that the fourth guy is? I don't think it's Mullen.

Sam Webb's job is to pretend to know things he doesn't so he can write paywalled articles. Sam Webb has Sean Peyton on his list of plausible candidates. Ignore Sam Webb. Michigan has definitely reached out to Mullen, among others, but nobody on the outside knows who has reciprocated interest. If I had to guess on a list, I'd say it's Harbaugh, Miles, Mullen, and Mora, but that is a drat optimistic list. I don't believe anyone who is reporting that Miles is a lock.

By the way, if you really need evidence at this point to disregard FootballScoop as having any legitimate sources in this search: quote:One name that I truly haven’t heard from sources in Michigan; but I continue to hear from coaches is Joe Moglia at Coastal Carolina. A number of coaches I have spoken with feel Moglia might just be the perfect coach to invest in Michigan football. What he has done in his short time at Coastal has been awfully impressive. Will be interesting to see if the search firm suggests the same to Hackett.
