Guy from CBS' "The NFL Today" reported that Harbaugh has said that he will look at other opportunities after the season. Casserly brought up UM and Carolina.
Not sure if Harbaugh actually said this, but I'm just relaying what Casserly said. The recent Harbaugh comments re: the extension offer seem to back this up though.
any semi-intelligent person
I disagree
It is not whether or not Harbaugh has the opportunity to come here, it is whether he wants to forgo any future NFL coaching plans to make a long-term commitment to us. If he makes such commitment, Rich is gone.

Link to that story please. Where did you read if JH wants to come to Michigan then RR is gone?
His butt
That is where the story is coming from.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
You don't have to have read
You don't have to have read it anywhere. Your ability to have common sense would already make you aware that Michigan's coaching job is Jim Harbaugh's if he wants it.
I don't know about that
If I were the AD I would retain Rich and there wouldn't be a coach in the country who I would fire Rich for.

Seriously? What has RR
Seriously? Good thing you aren't the A.D. What has RR accomplished so far? 1-10 against ranked opponents and continuing to get embarrassed by our Big 10 rivals??? This board is so damned pro RR and anti anything negative said about the guy. God forbid anyone state the facts about his poor performance. The proof is in his record against quality competion, period. I just don't get why that is so hard for so many to grasp or see on here? And no, I'm not 60+ years old. I'm in my early 30's.
For future posters claiming stats as a basis
To TheVictors97 and everyone else that makes broad sweeping statements proclaiming facts to support their case...
Quote: "God forbid anyone state the facts about his poor performance" and "The proof is in his record against quality competition period".
By all means, point these out as facts, as they are. But this is not the complete set of facts.
Please recognize all the other facts which have contributed to the facts stated above.
If not, I hear the freep is hiring.

I don't know what you are
I don't know what you are talking about. RR has had the most talented team and the deepest team in the nation every year he has been here. If JH would have been here he would have 3 national championships. /s I'm not a JH hater, I can just look at the whole picture not just part of it.
I could add some more if
I could add some more if you'd like?
First time the program has received NCAA sanctions. 2 defensive coordinators in the last 3 seasons with a 3rd likely if he stays for another year. A "potent" offense that racks up the majority of its yardage when behind by 2-3 scores and turns the ball over consistently in crucial situations. Pathetic special teams play. Everyone please use your almighty mgoblog points to spin this into something positive and to continue to find other areas to place the blame.
I'll pass on working for the Freep. I enjoy my job flying for the airlines.

Correction
He is 2-10 against ranked opponents, not 1-10.
Just thought I'd point this out as I've seen this incorrect factoid quoted more than once.
You
must not look at all the facts do you.Name a team that is younger than we are,and made a January 1st bowl.Rich has done the best with what he has.Next year will be our year if Rich stays if not,we might win 5 to 7 games
Sorry about Double Post
Nothing to see here...
"A Michigan man will coach Michigan."
I guess I don't have common
I guess I don't have common sense then. Common sense to me would say that RR would be here next year. When did DB say he was looking for a new coach and also when did he say JH was his favorite to be the new coach. The only people saying these type of things are the media just stating their opinions not facts and fans who want RR gone.
Maybe you have insider info
Maybe you have insider info about this but even if they want JH that doesn't mean he is who DB wants. Maybe DB can see what RR has dealt with with regards to players and can see that we are improving. I know everyone talks about the record and it is important but do you think anyone else would have done better with what he had to work with. Unless you have insider info from DB then you are just giving your opinion like everybody else. Repeating something you read or heard. I don't understand why people believe the media or other people when they are just giving their opinion. It doesn't make it true just because somebody told you something. There have been absolutely no facts to support that a coaching change is going to happen. DB has to listen to the well connected boosters and make them feel important. I am not saying RR will be here next year but there is no evidence to say he will not be.
umm.. i don't recall anyone
umm.. i don't recall anyone mentioning harbaugh as a possible coach until the MSM starting talking about him being a hot coach..
With everything coming back on offense, and actually getting depth on defense finally it is only going to get better from here.
Switching coaches is a big time risk at this point, if we switch coaches after only 3 years, then ive lost a lot of faith in our program. Every head coach i dont care where it is, deserves 4 years minimum..
My apologies for posting what
My apologies for posting what I thought was a widely accepted opinion. I'll try to post with more naivety in the future.

What is noteworthy is that
What is noteworthy is that the media keeps on churning this stuff out, and yet Harbaugh is making no more than a token effort to downplay it. He even lended credence to them with the "He misspoke" line. It definitely sounds like a guy who has a foot out the door. Whether his next stop is here remains to be seen.
Im so sick of these he
Im so sick of these he said/she said rumors about Harbaugh. We will find out in a week who the coach will be. Until then, lets support RR like most of us have, and enjoy a Gator Bowl victory. Hopefully a victory will save RR's job and all this nonsense about CCs will go away. Go Blue!
THOSE WHO STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS
discuss
I can't stand these "let's just wait a week and find out who our coach will be" replies. Why? What is wrong with discussing a topic that clearly many people on this site (and in the general M community) are interested in. This is the single largest story / issue involving our program - a heck of a lot more significant that any one recruit or a mid-level bowl game.
Some will respond "but we have talked about it to death" and "the decision will be made in a week.". So? Do you read Brian's previews for each game? Why? The game will be played on Saturday, so no need. Do you join chat threads about recruiting? Why? You will know the results of the recruiting class in February. Do you read Brian's UFRs? Why? You saw the game, so why discuss? Why is this CC topic any different? It is something of interest to many, so we want to discuss. We can't change or affect the results, but if that were the standard, there would be no discussion of ANY M topics and this blog would not exist.
And, as for sopporting RR, I don't see why discussing this topic - or even hoping that JH comes here after the bowls - is mutually exclusive of supporting RR while he is the coach.
/rant
Yeah man, yeah.
Yeah man, yeah.
Good analogy, but
The difference between reading UFRs, game previews, and recruiting updates is that information changes each week: our defensive approach, our opponent's schemes, and the performance of our recruits is a dynamic force.
Nothing new is emerging on the coaching search -- absolutely nothing. As far as I'm concerned, the only constants within our program at this moment regarding the staff are Rich Rodriguez and Dave Brandon, and until either of them choose a dynamic approach to this supposed "coaching change", I will apply a palm to my face.
Jim Harbaugh is not associated with this program other than for his alumni status. I give this information just as much attention as if you were to tell me Mario Manningham was rumoured to become our next head coach.

Facts vs. Conjecture
Denard threw a TD? Fact. It happened.
JH hasn't signed his extension? Fact. Hasn't happened.
Saying JH is going to come to Michigan because he hasn't signed his extension? Conjecture. I could say that because Ty Law is retired from the NFL, he's going to become our DB coach. Doesn't make it true, just because you can trace a few dots from point A to point B.
Not to mention it's been beaten to death, brought back to life, and then beaten to death again. This is on par with the "Denard for Heisman!" topics the first few games of the season. Saying the same shit over and over and over doesn't make it any less true or false, but it gets old, holy shit. Neg me all you want, I'm just a pissed off guy who ZOMG goes into CC topics to complain about a possible CC. /s

The awesome part is that even if we don't discuss this 24/7, we'll all get to find out what happens within the next couple weeks. And nothing anyone says will change that whatsoever.
Bill Belichick doesn't think much Charley Casserly!!!
Regarding a Patriots related matter...
His analysis, however, was refuted by Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who stated,
"Who's been wrong more than Charley Casserly since he left the Redskins? Wherever he's been, whatever he's done, his percentage is like a meteorologist...at least he put his name on it and I'll put my name on it and say, like he usually is, he's 100-percent wrong."
I trust Belichick more than Casserly
Go Blue, beat MSU!
What does Belichick have to do with this?
Did he chime in on the search?
Casserly said that Harbaugh is looking at other possibilities. That is obvious to everyone, so it is not exactly news.
I still do not understand the relevance of Belichick to this discussion at all.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
Belichick has nothing to do with the search...
It was a comment on Casserly's low credibility as a source for information.
Belichick thinks Casserly's opinion is worthless. If BB thinks CC is an unreliable source, than I think CC is an unreliable source. Hence the most recent Harbaugh rumors (generated by CC) are not from a reliable source and should be ignored.
To be clear though BBs comments about CC were NOT about the UM coaching search.
Dude, all he said was that he was looking
at other possibilities. I think that is obvious that is what Harbaugh is doing. Possibility does not necessarily mean Michigan nor did Casserly even mention Michigan.
I still do not understand your reaction to Casserly rather bland statement of the obvious.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
Apologies. I see that he did mention UM
Casserly is just regurgitating what he has seen bandied about.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
Well, then, It's obvious
Bill Belichick is Michigan's next football coach.

First ESPN now..
CBS, what will be the next major news channel to break this news? We could go logically and pick ABC or NBC, however, my dark house is going to be Glenn Beck and the Fox News Network...
Glenn Beck
will report it and cry, play "You Raised Me Up" and talk about how President Obama is destroying Michigan Football with his Socialist policies.
