Turley: Nevermind
![GZTUEDRPZHQXSQG.20131121054151.0[1]](https://mgoblog.com/sites/mgoblog.com/files/images/Turley-Nevermind_8A3E/GZTUEDRPZHQXSQG.20131121054151.01.jpg "GZTUEDRPZHQXSQG.20131121054151.0[1]")
here's a picture of this dude in a dumb hat to make you feel better
Well, this is annoying: Shannon Turley apparently isn't coming after several outlets and Cardinal players said he was. Neither is Stanford DC Lance Anderson, but that was always a longshot what with Mattison and Durkin set to split coordinator responsibilities. Turley's apparent about-face is a bigger deal, since he's a great candidate at an important spot.
Hopefully we'll get some confirmations on Drevno/Durkin/Mattison today.

Any info as to what caused this about face?

January 5th, 2015 at 10:09 AM ^
a raise. It used to be that Stanford didn't put a lot of money into their football program. Not any more. They seem committed to being an elite program and keeping top coaches is now a priority it looks like.

I totally get not wanting to relocate. But $$$ should not be an issue.

First Marrow, then that bogus PI flag pickup in Dallas, and now THIS?!??!?!?
Et tu, Brian? ET TU!?!?!???
January 5th, 2015 at 9:58 AM ^
The hat did make me feel better!

I feel cheated. You can't just undo a hello post
January 5th, 2015 at 12:28 PM ^
Don't you dare think you can just walk away from us like that, Turley.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:00 AM ^
this Hello post + "Marrow 98%" a sign of the jump the gun times?

January 5th, 2015 at 10:05 AM ^
Yes, please. He is still in the area. I'd be extremely happy to have Mike back.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:38 AM ^
Dude has a TV show now. He's probably not going to come back.
January 5th, 2015 at 11:12 AM ^
I think that show was cancelled after 3 episodes.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:50 AM ^
NO. No.
No Barwis. Barwis bad. Barwis incoherent. Barwis scream and yell for no reason, with no direction. Barwis jumble words together and talk very fast to sound smart. But not actually smart at training kids. Smart at self-promotion. Players love Barwis because he make them feel like warriors. Also because he replaced hidebound, outdated training philosophy of Gittleson, who was legend but ancient. That not good enough reason to love him. Turley good, we sad that he is not coming. That no reason to go back to Mike @)*#ing Barwis.
In seriousness, go watch this video and tell me that this is a guy who has any idea what he's talking about, who understands how to make kids fitter and better and healthier players. As opposed to, you know, just making them do "olympic lifting progressions," whatever the hell that means. Ugh.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:02 AM ^
It's not like the dude's methods can't be adapted if that's what JH has in mind for S and C. The bigger loss may be Turley's apparent charisma in getting the kids to do the work. We'll survive.
Props to Shaw for keeping his staff together.
Bummer about the wasted "Hello Post" work. I'd imaging there is a Stanford blog that will make solid (humorous) use of it.
Go Blue!!

Of course all of these S&C people seem to have a revolutionary idea that is way better than everybody else's idea and everybody else is living in the past.
From looking at the Stanford site, Turley has a handful of new assistants...mostly people who have been there 1-3 years. Find one of his past disciples who believes in the same approach.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:03 AM ^
After all the caution during searchbits, you reported a rumor as a fact, didn't you? I guess you were due for a flub.

This mfer here. Comes to a soup kitchen, complains about the grub. Insert your favorite incredulous face gif here.

I'm happy to compare how much we've donated to MGoBlog if you want to get into it, LLL.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:20 PM ^
I respect your right to complain, beveled guilt donated or not. Just felt like piling on, when all things considered Brian does an outstanding job.

If I were a betting man, I'd wager that Brian thinks he deserves some crap here.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:03 AM ^
Hope they get someone from the school of Turley, though. I like his percentage drop for injuries.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:03 AM ^
I noticed that hat in the video, eesh. I liked (what I understood of) his methods enough to get over it... but now that he is gone, screw him and his weird hat. I know some pretty dorky old people that wouldn't wear that crap camping.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:15 AM ^
for summer fishing.... Then again I'm pretty dorky and getting a little old. +1
January 5th, 2015 at 10:18 AM ^
Just felt good to rag on him. In all seriousness I don't care what people wear, just be good at what you do. We will all look stupid in what we are wearing looking back 10 years from now. Just especially you and Turley with those hats :P.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:03 AM ^
Isn't winter conditioning supposed to start today?
January 5th, 2015 at 10:06 AM ^
Turley talks a lot about self motivation and being a resource. Even though he isn't coming I hope we have some of those kids with self motivation. Get them a resource ASAP!
January 5th, 2015 at 10:04 AM ^
Bummer. I was more excited about getting him than Durkin or resigning Mattison.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:05 AM ^
Seems like he would've been great for the team, but the amount of cry babies whining and wailing about not getting this guy is truly pitiful.

I got a case of the Mondays.... I knew that Hello posts over a weekend were too good to be true!
January 5th, 2015 at 10:06 AM ^
The Drew Sharp column on this almost writes itself.
Agree it's important to get ahead of the news cycle on this with more news on the coaching staff, but JH can make it work with puppets and washed up 70s actors.
erik estrada for S&C!

His curious genius lies in how he remains employed as a writer.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:23 AM ^
He is an affront to all who scribe.

I was just in the Bay area and the worst it got was around 50 with some heady winds. It's -2 in Chicago today so I'm assuming similar in Ann Arbor. It's a tough sell in January.
January 5th, 2015 at 10:11 AM ^
So, woo?

We could have used Marrow's recruiting prowess, but to be honest, if I was a recruit, I don't think I could get over the fact that Marrow looks a lot like Krang (the brain from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
January 5th, 2015 at 12:03 PM ^
We were recruiting like gangbusters with Hoke who had basically done nothing here. This is still Michigan, but now with one of the top 5-10 coaches in the game right now. If all Marrow was going to bring was recruiting, then I'm really not upset past "How can you say no to Harbaugh and Michigan to stay at Kentucky?!"
