Grantland: Dear Jim Harbaugh: Just Go to Michigan
New article from Grantland.com regarding the Harbaugh situation (apologies if that has been posted already; I searched and did not see that it had been):
From the article: "What amount of money makes life in the NFL worth it? He can go to Ann Arbor tomorrow and be a king."

Logic. From a writer. Whoa.
December 17th, 2014 at 2:33 PM ^
Logic from a writer named Sharp..Andrew Sharp...Drew Sharp. Total mind blow

and hail to the victors!
December 17th, 2014 at 12:26 PM ^
Harbaugh's coaching style fits college much better than pros. Come home, Jimmy.
December 17th, 2014 at 12:30 PM ^
I think you missed a backskash or something, i dont see monkeydog...

I assume a seperate King Harbaugh MS Paint thread will be created in due time.

The authors name is An(Drew) Sharp.. it's a trap!!
December 17th, 2014 at 12:31 PM ^
Andrew Sharp (NNTAS)
December 17th, 2014 at 12:28 PM ^
KING HARBAUGH!!!

Can we please have Andrew Sharp, the guy who wrote this Grantland piece, instead of Drew Sharp?
December 17th, 2014 at 12:53 PM ^
I hope Andrew Sharp is on the Search Committee for our HC.
December 17th, 2014 at 1:13 PM ^
We want Andrew!
December 17th, 2014 at 12:29 PM ^
recruiting wise, why wouldnt you want to play for him? his passion is ridiculous
December 17th, 2014 at 1:03 PM ^
Id imagine the amount of NFL players from Michigan would increase heavily if he were to be the head coach for 5+ years

King for now... unless he loses. Entertaining article, though.
December 17th, 2014 at 12:43 PM ^
I think he'd be afforded a benefit of the doubt his predecessors were not. Wouldn't need it for long anyway.

The honeymoon would be over with a 7 win or less season next year. Unlike the situation RR inherited, the roster is decent, and we'll be paying him a zillion dollars. He will take a TON of heat if next season is not at least moderately successful.
December 17th, 2014 at 2:55 PM ^
I doubt it. This is a Michigan legend coming back. He'll get a ton of rope.
December 17th, 2014 at 12:30 PM ^
BEST.
ARTICLE.
EVER.
Give that man a Pulitzer!!! When does the movie come out???
December 17th, 2014 at 12:31 PM ^
It sounds like the offer will be maybe more than he would make in the NFL. He is approaching $8 million a year AND gets to be the king of Ann Arbor. Seems like a deal you can't pass up to me.

Secretly Drew Sharp writes under a different name with an obviously different avatar. This "AnDrew Sharp" makes sense, doesn't write flamebait for his salary and sounds like an enjoyable dinner guest over at the house. I really hope this "AnDrew Sharp" starts showing up in the FREEP because I may actually read, and link, to his articles.
December 17th, 2014 at 12:35 PM ^
Here, let me fix that for you:
Andrew Sharp > Drew Sharp

Someone forward this to Jim quickly.
December 17th, 2014 at 12:36 PM ^
I'm not sure I have ever been so pumped up by a sports article before. I am seriously getting a small wave of adrenaline right now.
HARBAWWWWWW

Jimmy would bring in a new era of Michigan football and within 2 years we would be playoff bound if there was a DNA or blue print to a college coach he would be it. Jim seems like a heart guy even though he is very logical and smart he seems like the fact that his home needs him will out weigh the many offers he will get at the end of the NFL season. Jimmy come home son, restore us to our rightful place of College Football Glory.
Sincerly Michigan Fans.

I'm fired up after reading that. This'll be one hell of a hangover no matter what Jim's decision is.
December 17th, 2014 at 12:41 PM ^
That was a great article. Now he just needs to get his ass to Ann Arbor, and sieze his crown.

Pep talk by Ra's Al Ghul.

The article is well-written and makes perfect sense. The only two variables in the way, by my lights, are (i) how big a part of Jim's ego is it to win a Super Bowl (and will getting Top 5 HC dollars at Michigan overcome the drive to win a Super Bowl), and (ii) how important is it to his family to stay in the Bay Area?
Because he could be confident in having a great life in Ann Arbor, with less pressure than he faces now and more appreciative stakeholders. He's got a number of attractive choices, but quality of life is a huge one.

More like Quality of WIFE! Amirite!?!
