Jim....is that you?
October 31st, 2014 at 2:34 PM ^
Sure is... On second thought I probably should have disguised my identity a little better
October 31st, 2014 at 2:41 PM ^
I've always liked John better.
October 31st, 2014 at 2:44 PM ^
that's all we need around here...nepotism.
October 31st, 2014 at 4:19 PM ^
Loving this board more and more every day.
October 31st, 2014 at 2:52 PM ^
I love you dad.
October 31st, 2014 at 3:01 PM ^
Steaks on the grill for the Michigan game this weekend? You're buying.
October 31st, 2014 at 3:09 PM ^
Ya cheap old coot!
October 31st, 2014 at 6:35 PM ^
Well now, this is just getting silly.
October 31st, 2014 at 3:10 PM ^
how did you learn to use the internet old man?
October 31st, 2014 at 2:48 PM ^
Nah...just tell us when you're heading back to A2 to take over the football program. Don't be all coy with disguised log-in names.
October 31st, 2014 at 2:53 PM ^
So the real question is, what do YOU think about Heeke? Do you want to step in and hire your own AD? That would totally be cool with us, you know.
October 31st, 2014 at 2:32 PM ^
Jim....is that you?
October 31st, 2014 at 2:33 PM ^
Only if you approve of him, Jim,..

If it's really Jim, he'll follow the scent of fresh Khakis.
October 31st, 2014 at 2:43 PM ^
I take bigger shits than Heeke. Next.

Is it possible that President Schlissel is just gathering information, speaking with local ADs to get their thoughts (on how to go about the search)?
October 31st, 2014 at 2:58 PM ^
Good question and yes.
Heeke serves on division 1 ad committee with Byrne and Manuel.

Of course, he also knows debord, who is with the athletic department now.
October 31st, 2014 at 2:47 PM ^
Heeke is a East Lansing native and graduate of Ohio State.....next candidate please!
October 31st, 2014 at 2:57 PM ^
his very strong ties to MSU, Heeke has had a number of troubling problems at CMU. We can do better---way better.
October 31st, 2014 at 2:58 PM ^
Nobody cares. Would he be good at his job?
October 31st, 2014 at 2:55 PM ^
I know him very well. He is a very sharp guy. He might have to burn some of his old Sparty gear from his youth.
October 31st, 2014 at 2:54 PM ^
As a CMU grad, I never have been impressed with Heeke. He hired some great football coaches, but Enos has been awful IMO. The basketball program hasn't been stellar either. He is a good MAC AD, but he doesn't seem ready for a department like Michigan.

Ohio State education. Next....
October 31st, 2014 at 3:03 PM ^
do I have to explain everything to you guys? Heeke = safety net. Get it?
October 31st, 2014 at 3:11 PM ^
No, just no.
October 31st, 2014 at 3:21 PM ^
If we hire Heeke the first thing he'll do is ignore football and re-sign the wrestling coach.
October 31st, 2014 at 3:46 PM ^
Jeff Long all day long !!!
October 31st, 2014 at 3:57 PM ^
He is the face of the football committee. It would be very awkward to change jobs during that process and changing jobs afterward would be too late. He's in by name only on a dream list.
October 31st, 2014 at 4:15 PM ^
Jeff Long won't come since his family ensconced in all the goodness that Fayetteville "home of the piggies" has to offer. The university will fight tooth n nail to keep him....but he would be my first choice...
October 31st, 2014 at 7:51 PM ^
Jeff "All Day" Long...what up, AD?!
October 31st, 2014 at 6:02 PM ^
Seems like an off-the-wall candidate for the UM job himself
October 31st, 2014 at 6:19 PM ^
It's probably quite the leap to go from CMU to Michigan. We have significantly superior athletic departments to many football peers i.e. Oklahoma. Unless this guy is awesome, we can probably do much better
