Rich recruited it, but not the kind of guys that Hoke needed because Rich recruits Oline guys that basically can't play in anything but a spread offense. (Though our Oline w/o Rick Trickett was loving terrible.)

BigBoss posted:I'm convinced that Bo's ghost is haunting the school. His memory is probably the worst thing that could happen to Michigan. They've spent so many years fetishizing him that they've been stuck in 1994 for the last 20 years. Even Bama moved past Bear, so why can't the Michigan institutional organization get over Bo? It took Alabama literally hiring Nick Saban and winning a bunch of titles.

Detroit_Dogg posted: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. I can attest to this. 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.

Dattserberg posted:Some of you act like Harbaugh and Miles have no connection to the program and for them to dismiss with prejudice the Michigan job is a foregone conclusion. To think these guys wouldn't consider coming back to their alma mater and former team to bring them back from a low point in the program's history is awfully presumptuous. Especially considering you're looking at one job change that could be considered a lateral move and the other a clear downgrade but at best move back to the college ranks. Michigan has had two job openings since 2007 and both Miles and Harbaugh were available then and didn't take the job. But beyond that, why we're all laughing, why we all think it's funny is because you have a poster claiming to have The Inside Scoop; which is about on par with "My Dad Works for Nintendo." And another dude who thinks that Les Miles is "the worst case scenario."

CharlestheHammer posted:Why would a leak matter? I was working with Kirk Herbstriet when that all happened and he had it from the lips of the Michigan AD that it was happening and wanted to go to air withit but the they asked him not too, it got out before Miles could talk LSU about it and it basically torpedoed it because he'd made it really clear to Michigan he wanted to talk to his bosses at LSU before he made a final, final decision. But Michigan was a better job then and hadn't gone through seven years of turmoil. He wouldn't know for sure who is boss was going to be and I think he's pretty happy in LSU now. Also, if you let your HC pick your AD you're retarded an you can likely kiss a bunch of other coaches good bye if they don't like him.

AsInHowe is at the very least a hosed up piece of poo poo and probably has a serious mental disorder that he clearly is not getting help with. I hope if Jim Harbaugh is hired, that he's wearing a "HI LIZZIE SEEBERG" sweatshirt.

MourningView posted:If people would spend more time posting about the actual coaching search and less about AsInHowe being an irriating jackass he will have way fewer opportunities to be an irriatating jackass. What is there really to post atm though? I don't mean that as jack-rear end as it might sound, but the truth is that Michigan seems to have done a fairly good job of keeping their search well contained -- internet rumors about JH not withstanding. I don't think its completely unthinkable he won't be their coach, though I'd venture a guess its unlikely. The 9'ers have a good deal of leverage on it and I can't imagine they'd be in any (real) hurry to make a move this week or, frankly next. Harbaugh obviously could agree to make the situation easier by resigning and negotiate a settlement with them on that front, but again he might want to wait until he can see what the NFL offers from the Jets, Raiders and presumably the Bears are going to look like (since none of them can contact him until the 9'ers season is actually over in two weeks) before making a decision. If you're Michigan that seems like an awfully big gamble to take unless you know your #2 candidate is going to still be available if Harbaugh should decide to take the zillion dollars that are going to be thrown at him. There's also a very real possibility that York might decide just to keep him another year and see what happens (is your pool of candidates really any better next year?).

MourningView posted:Pretty much everyone agrees that he's not going back to the Niners. The question is whether he'll wind up at Michigan or another NFL team. I shouldn't have said a very real (wasn't what I meant) -- a possibility -- would have been sufficient. But yeah, I would imagine that if he's interested in going to another NFL team, this is going to have to wait till at least the end of the NFL season (sidebar: that's the dumbest loving rule.) If he really does want to be at Michigan, there's no real reason that can't happen fairly quickly outside of negotiating the terms of his exit from SF.

AsInHowe posted:The big problem with every NFL scenario is that contract with the 49ers. It sounds like the Baalke-Harbaugh relationship is terrible, and Harbaugh doesn't want to do anything that would practically aid the 49ers in his exit. The only team that doesn't have some sort of baggage with Harbaugh or the 49ers is the Jets, and that job is a garbage pit. Then it still comes down to him basically having to resign and void his contract, which means he's going to have to pay them -- which still basically helps them. The 9'ers have the leverage and there's no real reason for them to give that up.

Deteriorata posted:That seems to be what Harbaugh is struggling with. The NFL is more prestige and money, but coping with the egos in the front office with his own massive ego may not be worth it. Not only that but I honestly think if he takes the Michigan job, he'll bounce as soon as he can back to an NFL job that might be better than the ones open this year.

DJExile posted:Not for nothing but has Michigan finally named a full time AD? Seems like that should be the first domino to fall. 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.

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.

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.

MourningView posted: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. 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 |
