CC: Desmond Howard on hiring timeline
December 23rd, 2014 at 8:56 PM ^
The way he said it sounded like he knew what was coming. Works for me!
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:02 PM ^
It is done and that they will announce at the basketball game on the 30th. Seems like Mattison is staying on as co-Defensive Cordinator with Dunkin as the other. Things are coming up Milhouse.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
And who do you talk to besides Twitter folk to think this ?

Though most of the twitter things I see have been on point. I could be wrong, but just sharing what is out there. These seem like logical conclusions biased off all the info that is out there and that is from people close to the program.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:16 PM ^
So, your just making this up? Like 84.6666, repeating of course, percent of the people on here. I just want people in the media , whether NFL or Michigan saying what they know, not random message board people.

Why the fuck are you looking at this post? Ohhhh so you can be some dickhead. Well you won.

Bah Hum-baugh-ug Mr Ebinizer Scrooge.
December 24th, 2014 at 4:59 AM ^
Durkin,Mattison and if they keep Manning that would be some Damn fine recruiting right there.

No delete, Baller.

The second thread on this was the one that ended up being removed, but then only because it was duplicate content. One of the most puzzling things about the coachign search in particular has been the rush to break news actually - like I tell people, if it has been out there for a good 10-15 minutes and it pertains to Michigan, someone has probably posted it.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
Was going to mention this same response.. Hopefully he knows a lot more than we do.
It happened somewhere from the 12 -13:30 mark in the fourth quarter. If I really wanted, I could rewind and find the time to the second.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:05 PM ^
Said the same thing in our Facebook group today.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:08 PM ^
Great to hear timelines earlier from others but sounds amazing coming from Howard.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:18 PM ^
I mean I feel like this is pretty obvious but doesn't imply Harbaugh. By this time next week we'll know Harbaugh's decision. If it's yes, it's him, if it's no, then we'll probably hire someone else soon after his decision. Around this time next week
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
All the other legit candidates will still have bowl games to play....
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:27 PM ^
That's never stopped a coach from taking a job before
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:29 PM ^
The timing would be pretty bad for head coach.. a day or two before the game?
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:43 PM ^
At that point it means we couldn't land Stoops(Dec. 28th) or Mullen(Dec. 31st) and we are waiting for Jim Moora(January 3rd) to make a decision. It would really suck if Harbaugh says no.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:19 PM ^
if it's next Tuesday we could theoretically hire Stoops. He would have played his bowl game
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
This is definitely thread worthy
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:35 PM ^
According to Brian UM is trying to get a press conference together for next Tuesday so Desmond is pretty on target there.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:37 PM ^
Desmond gets his news from MGoBlog too!
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:46 PM ^
This pretty much confirms the dates we've heard from Brian and the Rivals and Scout insiders. But, it is good confirmation as it comes from another source, someone who is undoubtably pretty connected.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:48 PM ^
It's actually what Gregg Henson has been saying for the past month...but ok.
December 23rd, 2014 at 9:57 PM ^
Wait, we're hiring a new coach? I had no idea.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:10 PM ^
I'm always the last to hear about these things.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:27 PM ^
I wish there were more CC threads to keep us in the loop.
December 24th, 2014 at 1:31 AM ^
Yeah, it starts out with Harbaugh, then comes back around to Harbaugh, with lots of Harbaugh in between.
Very informative, with lots of good sources.
December 24th, 2014 at 6:51 AM ^
Mmmmm.......Harbaugh
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:34 PM ^
Aware, but not fully aware.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:09 PM ^
Coach Schiano.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:11 PM ^
You shut your whore mouth!
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:19 PM ^
Classic
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:10 PM ^
I think Oakland is going to dive in last minute and offer jim a shit load of money and power. I don't know, I'm still 50/50. I don't think it is a done deal.

December 23rd, 2014 at 11:03 PM ^
I don't see the Raiders firing Reggie McKenzie. He had a very good draft last year and most Raider fans think he'll get another year.
December 23rd, 2014 at 11:09 PM ^
100 percent chance they don't fire Reggie Mckenzie. As a longtime raiders fan I can state that almost all of the fans absolutely love what he has done. I don't think there is anyway they take a chance on a guy who has no experience in the GM world. Bet your ass if Al was still alive it would def happen, but the raiders are different now.
December 24th, 2014 at 9:13 AM ^
doesn't give a shit about what the fans think. If he wants Harbaugh and knows Harbaugh wants control like a GM would for personnel, he'll fire Reggie in a heartbeat.
December 24th, 2014 at 12:20 AM ^
The 49ers and JH could agree to a trade but that will not happen. I doubt the 49ers fire Harbaugh. If Jim quits he will have to pay the penalty, and no other team can contact him for 6 months per NFL tampering laws. Harbaugh is kind of trapped to head for Michigan or try to work out a trade deal with SF to another NFL team.
December 24th, 2014 at 12:41 AM ^
In the case of a trade can't he demand an extension and raise prior to approving?
Doesn't JH hold all of the cards after Sunday's game?
But given the multitude of confidence building signals from those close to the program, it seems like there is a great chance of him coming in a week.
December 24th, 2014 at 9:11 AM ^
Oakland can't offer a "thing?" They could easily offer a 2nd round pick or any draft pick. If Jim wants to stay in the NFL...I doubt whether the 49ers just fire him. If he is leaving and doesn't want to go to college but would prefer to stay in the NFL, Oakland is where he'll go.
December 23rd, 2014 at 10:40 PM ^
answer (Yes/No) without considering further offers. He is not just another dude making a change - if he said yes and then changes his mind, I believe he does not plan to set foot in Ann Arbor again.
My take is that Hackett either has JH locked, or in case JH already said no, has other plan B guy locked (Miles, Stoops, Schiano, Ron English).
December 23rd, 2014 at 11:06 PM ^
I'm not sure how Hackett would have a plan B candidate locked up. Coaches at big-time programs have big-time egos, and I can't imagine a Bob Stoops or a Jim Mora being okay with Hackett telling them, "You can have the job if you want it, but only if Jim Harbaugh says no." The only candidates who might be okay with that are those who are just happy to be in the conversation (Schiano et al).
December 24th, 2014 at 8:36 AM ^
You left off the actual Plan B... Jon Gruden.

Robert Smith thinks it won't happen, so it's definitely happening.
December 23rd, 2014 at 11:05 PM ^
Robert Smith at halftime sta sta stuttering away. Buckeyes are feeling the pressure.
December 23rd, 2014 at 11:05 PM ^
Just listened to Robert Smith and he says Harbaugh is staying in the NFL. But then again he is a ESPN talking head and from Ohio State.
