I've heard Harbaugh come up a couple times to fill in the opening that Miami will probably have this offseason, and of course Miami's owner is a Michigan alum. It'll be interesting if it comes down to those two spots, though naturally Harbaugh turned down Miami before and we don't even know if there will be a vacancy there.

Miami's owner is Michigan's biggest donor. He has already made it clear that he wants Harbaugh at Michigan, not Miami.

AsInHowe posted:The only flaw in the mechanics is that he doesn't necessarily need to be traded to coach. He can come to Michigan immediately, or, if reports are accurate, San Francisco will cut their losses and get rid of him without a trade because they need a coach in 2015. They have absolutely zero reason to do that. Why give up leverage (and money) to help a guy you don't like? AsInHowe posted:In the larger picture, I think Harbaugh knows what he wants to do. I think he's known for a while, and it's all a matter of clocks expiring. I don't think the NFL people are credible sources, in all honesty. I think most of the mainstream media stuff has been hyped up, and I think Harbaugh wants to come to Michigan, put things back in order, then hand the program off once a quality NFL job opens up. Harbaugh wants to win, and he wants to win now. It will be easier in Ann Arbor than in New York, Oakland, or Chicago. And if you're gonna take time off from the NFL to wait for a better option down the line, why not go somewhere where that gap year would make you beloved for life? And there's the homer goggles.

Unless he's given absolute complete control, why would you go somewhere that will just devalue your coaching stock and reputation? The last major 49ers coach was Steve Mariucci, he left the 49ers for a terrible team and now he's on NFL Network.

AsInHowe posted:At this point, every NFL job that is rumored for Harbaugh is a terrible situation. Unless he's given absolute complete control, why would you go somewhere that will just devalue your coaching stock and reputation? Get this: Michigan is a bad situation. The Jets aren't as bad as their record and really just need someone who can throw a football to be decent; Miami was competing for most of the season and has a good base to work with -- and yes yes I know you think Miami isn't going to hire him but that's really just kind of silly to think; Chicago has a ton of talent; the Raiders are a dumpster fire, yes. But all of those programs are going to offer him a silly amount of money and don't require him to pay money to take the job. Again, I don't think Michigan is completely out of the realm of things that could happen, but I don't think it's his Option A by any means and if you're Michigan you're playing an awfully risky game there.

The Jets are really really bad outside of the defensive line and that's not factoring in that Ryan likely has the defense playing well above it's actual talent level.

Michigan also very well could be being played here by Harbaugh and his folks. If he wants to stay in the NFL, he won't want his new team to cripple themselves in order to get him via a trade. Threatening to go to Michigan is a great way to compel SF to lower their price in a potential trade. Also it makes no sense for SF to fire him. He'll either void his contract by accepting a job at UM, or they can trade him. It's pure delusion to think that they'll give up all their leverage just to enable Michigan, or whatever other reason y'all think they'll just willingly pay him not to coach there AND get nothing in return.

They've ran the ball extremely well (they're 2nd in the NFL) and their defense has largely been good -- though some of that could be Rex. I honestly think if they had a remotely decent QB they wouldn't have been so bad. But like we've said, I don't think anyone really knows what he wants to do and I think it would be silly to think that he'd make a decision before the other NFL teams can even make an offer. I additionally think that almost has to mean that option 2 is Greg Schiano. BI NOW GAY LATER fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Dec 16, 2014 |

Second option for Michigan, or for the Jets? Although my personal read on this saga more closely aligns with yours over Howe's, I really don't think Michigan will be hiring Greg Schiano over other candidates. I think that's your desire to see Michigan gently caress this up shining through.

The Niners will either get buyout money or draft picks from this. But the first? I dunno. I do think Harbaugh likes his alma mater and wouldn't gently caress them over. He might be undecided or even leaning to another NFL job but I don't think he's straight up using Michigan.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:Again I think this is really important. If they really are going to let Harbaugh pick his own boss, they're making a massive mistake. For one, you're basically telling him he can't be fired and for two, you're basically telling the rest of the Michigan coaches they're not nearly important enough to mater -- which may or may not be a big deal for you, but I am sure someone like John Beilein is watching closely. I think this makes intuitive sense, but you're talking about Michigan. If M football turned around, started winning some conference championships, and became a national force, Michigan fans would just stare blankly at Crisler Arena and shrug, no matter who the team was losing to. Yeah there are Michigan basketball fans, but that is not where the bread is buttered, and a world class hire at coach combined with a football turnaround would basically render all other sports to a 3rd fiddle capacity. For Christ's sake, the basketball team lost back-to-back games to NJIT and Eastern Michigan and the only reactions on Twitter were in the vein of "Dang. What about Harbaugh?" It's nuts. Plus Beilein is old and will retire at Michigan, and the tailor made replacement is already on his staff (Bacari). Hockey is the same deal. Mel Pearson has turned Michigan Tech into a great team, and is probably going to take the reins after Red calls it quits. Michigan can give Harbaugh the keys to everything between State and Main, and nobody will care. Also please note that I don't feel this way (I do want them to hire Harbaugh, obvs), but it's the reality of the situation in Ann Arbor.
