Yeah, uh, no.
No more gambles.

WD I respect you as a poster on this board, you bring a lot to the table, and are a very knowledgeable fan/board member. I also understand that you want Harbaugh desperately, Hell, we all do. But you can't keep coming to these CC threads just to shoot down coaches because they are not Jim/John. It is highly unlikely we land either of them, so we need to do our due diligence by fairly and accurately evaluating and discussing the pros and cons of each candidate. Casting a wide net, then gradually trimming it down. Now if only our athletic department could do that.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:13 PM ^
Lalalalalala can't hear you HARBAUGH HARBAUGH HARBAUGH HARBAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously though, I don't know enough about this guy.
This seems like a huge risk being he is a Division II coach. I believe this next hire MUST MUST MUST be a home run. However, I could be wrong because I live in a tightly packed Maize and Blue bubble.
I'm listening to the MGoPodcast right now where Brian & Ace are talking CC. Hoping to learn more about him in this podcast.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:13 PM ^
that there are no home run hires out there that are realistic. That list basically begins and ends with the Harbaughs (which we'll all believe when we see).
In light of that, I like the idea of getting someone with some long term upside. No idea if Stitt is that guy, but there's one way to find out.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:55 PM ^
Listened to the 'cast and looked up the fly sweep WVU was running when they destroyed Clemson.
Looks nice, but does Michigan have the personnel-type to run that?
September 29th, 2014 at 9:39 PM ^
There is one man who is a real "home run hire" a man who knows the area, recruits like a MF'er, is a hell of a game day coach and has a reason to work to dominate Ohio State and Sparty year in and year out...
He's available and is already embracing his inner Walverine:
Tressel is my pick all day.

home run hires arent home run hires unti they are. Tressel, Carroll, Miles for LSU, Mora Jr, Sumlin, Richt, Malzahn...these guys were all risky hires for various reasons. Steve Spurrier hasnt brought an SEC title to SCar, Charlie Weis was Charlie Weis at 2 places, and Will Muschamp is gonna get fired.
they need to do due diligence and look EVERYWHERE. including high school. if they do it right they wont hire a high school coach, but the next hot name in college coaching might be coaching in HS right now. narrowing the search field before searching, instead of after, is how M ended up here in the first place.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:11 PM ^
and naively hopeful again
September 29th, 2014 at 7:12 PM ^
Dude, WD is 19 i think, cut him some slack. He may be Harbuagh biased, but nobody knows who the 'best' coach is going forward. As long as we got a new new AD with that coach anything can happen
September 29th, 2014 at 8:10 PM ^
At some point the "he's only 19" line gets pretty fucking old. He acts like a petulant child, because that's what he is. At 19 years old.
September 29th, 2014 at 8:51 PM ^
Why, when I was nineteen I'd saved the world about eight times over from a crazed demonic warlock, including once when I was a motherfucking infant.
My name may or may not rhyme with Larry Cotter, incidentally.
September 29th, 2014 at 11:16 PM ^
because the lazy, entitled, self-satisfied baby boomers who pushed us off the cliff in the first place are just the people we need to listen to in the marketplace of ideas.
September 29th, 2014 at 11:27 PM ^
That's right. I am 19. And there's not a thing you or I can do about it.
I wish I experienced the 90s as a fan. Sure, it's wishing years of my life away but who cares?
September 29th, 2014 at 7:12 PM ^
Any choice made will be a gamble. Nothing is ever sure fire. Not even Harbaugh.
September 29th, 2014 at 6:55 PM ^
Maybe he just likes commercials.
September 29th, 2014 at 6:55 PM ^
This is going to further justify Brian writing way too many words about him
September 29th, 2014 at 6:56 PM ^
He also just followed the AD of SMU. So its between us and SMU.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:32 PM ^
we don't allegedly have 5 dead hookers
September 29th, 2014 at 7:41 PM ^
Well I think that means we win because our alleged hookers are still alive. Allegedly.

Man I long for the days when CJK5H. Much more fun than what we have been dealing with lately.
September 29th, 2014 at 9:45 PM ^
Remember the 5. #CJK5H
September 29th, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
I don't even want to be anywhere near an Ohio State or MSU fan if this guy is hired!
September 29th, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
Get a job, go to the gym, bang a girl, go see some shit.
To see that someone follows Dave Brandon on twitter is fucking dumb and then to speculate that maybe he's a replacement is even more dumb.
Yes I know responding to this is just as dumb I'm at the gym between reps and it made me angry.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:02 PM ^
Dave Brandon doesn't even lift bro.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:02 PM ^
Time as you obviously to respond to this.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:02 PM ^
So....when at the "gym" you mean the couch and between reps you mean being "that guy" on mgoblog? Got it
September 29th, 2014 at 7:09 PM ^
Want my snapchat bro?
September 29th, 2014 at 7:15 PM ^
Someone's about to get sexually harassed!
September 29th, 2014 at 7:16 PM ^
Don't worry "bro" you can still find Jersey Shore re-runs online.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:18 PM ^
Umm....no I'd rather not see you "bro." Dont really have time to snapchat or whatever that is.
September 29th, 2014 at 8:12 PM ^
You're hitting all the stereotypical douchebag notes. Do continue.
September 29th, 2014 at 9:53 PM ^

This is not a fucking topic. Who gives a fuck who follows Dave Brandon and why are you wasting your time keeping tabs of his followers?
September 29th, 2014 at 7:17 PM ^
I heard him mentioned on the podcast and decided to do a bit of research on him, which included looking at his twitter page. I noticed that he had "just followed" Dave Brandon. The football coach at the Colorado School of Mines following Michigan's Athletic Director is a bit odd, no?
September 29th, 2014 at 9:00 PM ^
Several years later. Still a fucking nutcase.

It would touch off a #Stittstorm
I see what you mean. That works pretty well.
September 29th, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
say Dave Brandon will be named the new Colorado School of Mines Athletic Director tomorrow.
September 29th, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
is taking the Colorado School of Mines job so he's the new boss? Wishful thinking...
September 29th, 2014 at 7:01 PM ^
Maybe he's just curious if we are doing any more Coke promos.
September 29th, 2014 at 7:02 PM ^
This is getting out of hand. I look forward to football all year and then this shit happens and there is a thread every time harbaugh takes a dump or Brandon picks his ass...

you can pick and choose the threads you want to read. That's what (most of) the rest of us do. Unsolicited (and likely unwanted) free tip: You see a thread you don't like, started by someone you don't like, or that you find redundant or uninteresting---don't open it. It's really quite easy.
