In actual coach-chat, do you guys see yourself going after a Schiano, or an Addazio to hold onto that run-first hard-nosed stuff, or do you anticipate a shift in offensive philosophy to go after someone that runs a spread or something?

I think I'm more intrigued by your coaching search than I was mine. So much at stake, really. As much as anyone, you guys are at a real crossroads. The wrong hire will probably keep you guys just a cockhair above .500 for the next 10-15.

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.

1) Harbaugh

2) Harbaugh

3) Harbaugh

4) Mop handle with this hat on it.

A very large portion of the Penn State fan base still thinks Joe Paterno got the wrong rub, there are a lot of issues with Michigan and its fans but I can pretty confidently say that if it came out Lloyd Carr was harboring a coach that was diddling kids most of the fans would freak the gently caress out and not go "Hm, we better make sure his statue stays put".


Which I know is a little bit of hyperbole, but that's because Lloyd Carr doesn't have a statue. Yet.

Yeah, but Lloyd wasn't the legend that Paterno was. Not justifying their reaction, but that isn't a 1:1 comparison.

Maybe if Bo was still alive and he coached out 40 years at Michigan it might be applicable. The only reasonably comparable situation would be Bowden at FSU. There aren't a lot of coaches that fit that profile.

It was/is a legit cult of personality there.

I'm not justifying their reaction at all, but we don't have much to compare it to. It's creepy as gently caress no matter how you look at it.
