Brian on Solid Verbal Podcast

Submitted by Yostbound and Down on

The new Solid Verbal episode just posted and Dan and Ty talk to Brian about the coaching search. Solid Verbal is one of my favorite sports podcasts and it'll be interesting to hear what their opinions are vs. Brian's.

EDIT: Brian's segment starts at 20:18 of the show.

The Solid Verbal is - and I've been saying it for years - one of the best podcasts on the internet.  The guys are very knowledgable but come at it from a fan's perspective as opposed to a "seasoned, objective insider" slant.  It makes for a very honest and entertaining listen, and they update twice a week even during the offseason.

I was in a sports writing competition sponsored by Fox Sports like 10 years ago. Winner got a job with Fox Sports (like 10 published articles and some money too). I finished in second place, to Ty who now runs Solid Verbal. Needless to say, I quite often think of what could have been.

All I heard is it's happening!

I wouldn't put any stock in that, because that is all I am hearing or reading anyway! Until Harbaugh says "NO" it is happening!

Summmary: Michigan is really, really going after Harbaugh. Backup plan who knows who it is?

Oh, I should add that Brian might need a little sleep!

I found it interesting that Brian didn't mention Les as a Plan B candidate.  I know that Les has stated (off camera with no direct quotes) that he isn't a candidate, but I just chalked that up to typical coach speak.

Brian is tired

Brian doesn't know what's going on (or isn't leadin on)

Michigan insiders are confident for their side, NFL insiders are confident for their side....

All chips on on table for Harbaugh

No offers have been made to anyone besides Harbaugh

Brian is perplexed that Mullen hasn't been contacted, bummed that Herman is seemingly off table now at Houston

Brian thinks no coach at a major program would be sane enough to leave a good situation to Michigan....citing Jim Mora

Brian thinks search firm was a good idea because of Hackett's lack of connections to coaching world.

term "Michigan Man"  is dead, Hackett buried it. Being a "Michigan Man" has nothing to do with search...Any college in the country would go after Harbaugh, just so happens that he has a connection with Michigan. 

HARBAUGH. 

HARBAUGH?

 

 

 

harbaugh.

solid verbal is awesome.

 

i used to think they were biased against michigan. but they correctly predicted how shitty this year would be, while i was fooled by everyone guaranteeing 8-9 wins.

 

i think ty knows his stuff more than dan.
