Hoke had actually been on the hot seat going into this season after last year's regression. The fact that they got humiliated like 3 times in the first four weeks, and then the Morris Incident happening just expedited the process. It's not like we were all super happy with the guy and flipped. Even the pro-est of Hoke guys could see the Harbaugh situation in SF and thought "well that's an obvious upgrade if things line up right."

Deteriorata posted:What was dumb? Part of the setup was contacting Harbaugh through his dad to find out if he was interested and what he needed to make the move. If Jim had said no, they would have moved on to someone else. Yes because Michigan football has done nearly everything wrong for close to a decade outside of hiring Mattison I guess.

Oh I am not doubting you wanted to get rid of Hoke, just that you all got kind of a lucky break with the deterioration of the 49ers.

CharlestheHammer posted:Oh I am not doubting you wanted to get rid of Hoke, just that you all got kind of a lucky break with the deterioration of the 49ers. Well, given reports like this from last March: quote:“One source with inside knowledge of the team says that Harbaugh’s act has worn thin in the locker room,” Killion writes, “particularly among some key ‘face of the 49ers’ type players. While the team is winning, that’s not a problem. But a few losses could expose a widening rift.” it was pretty obvious that his relationship with the 49ers was not going to last long. There were also reports here and there of Jim making somewhat wistful comments to friends about wanting to coach Michigan if the opportunity arose. Hoke being a long-time friend made him unwilling to say much about it, though. Then with Hoke already in the hot seat and the team imploding in the first weeks of the season, contacting Jim to see if he was serious about coming to Ann Arbor was not all that odd.

Yeah, I haven't really figured out what happened back in 2010 yet. Brandon definitely contacted Harbaugh and Harbaugh definitely showed positive interest, but then it blew up and I've seen multiple conflicting stories as to why. The Harbaugh side says he gave a tentative yes and was awaiting further details which never came. Then the 9ers came knocking and he bugged out. Brandon's side says they thought they had Harbaugh locked down and were making plans for his introduction when he "flaked out" and changed his mind at the last minute, jumping to Hoke as a last-minute save. Others say Hoke was his target all along and he merely made a token run at Harbaugh to please the boosters. I don't have any idea which, if any, of those stories are true.

I guess it's pretty serious.

According to this, that can't be true because they aren't allowed to do it. quote:The league’s policy states that no employer club may grant another club permission to discuss employment with its head coach for the current or a future season until the end of the season. The coach is prohibited from discussing employment with another team, and no club may request permission to discuss employment with a coach from another team. So somebody is lying.

So the Raiders will get in trouble for tampering, and Harbaugh will go to Miami.

This exactly. If it happens as it appears it will, this is the best hire in college football since Urban Meyer to OSU. And just as then, the only people who are criticizing it are the people who wish to see that team or that coach fail. And that's fine - go for it, MSU fans, you deserve the schadenfreude - but that's all it is: unabashed hope for failure.

For what it's worth, I think there was a far greater contingent who were saying the hire wouldn't happen (myself included), not that it was a bad hiring decision. If Harbaugh could do at Michigan what he did at Stanford then we'd have an improved B1G and a very fun program to watch. I'd love for there to be a school that could pose an actual threat to Ohio State. Also, Harbaugh hasn't been hired by Michigan yet. It's still a bit early to be uncorking the champagne.
